My friend and I had an excellent experience. The two guides were super friendly and funny and the horses were really well-trained. I am an experienced rider and my friend only rode a couple of times. We got horses fitting our levels. The beach ride was really beautiful and the guides took pictures of us together on our horses on the beach. We rested at a beach bar to refresh ourselves and gave the horses the opportunity to rest as well. The ride back was super fun as we then put on a faster pace (only the ones who felt comfortable doing so). We had an absolute blast! (Btw you can store your backpacks etc. at the reception in a closed-off room)

THIS WAS LIT WOULD DO AGAIN. Sebas was our guide and he made the experience so much more enjoyable. You can tell he really likes his job and was super energetic made me more excited for the whole day. Whenever I comeback and sign up for this activity I would want Sebas again. On god he was the best and he deserves a raise man is the really built for this life.
