The man who picked us up was nice, he drove us quickly to our activity. When we arrived nobody said anything to us about the plan so we went and sat down. The man who then approached us was very nice, offered us water and Turkish delight. He then said we could go over to the horses and started to introduce us but then another man (our guide) said something to him and that was the end of us being introduced to the horses. We were helped onto the horse but my foot holes were too low. He grabbed my leg to adjust and then when I didn't put my leg where he wanted the man was tutting. We were asked If we were begginers and when we said yes the man tutted and seemed annoyed. We was asked if we wanted to gallop. I said no but that my son did (he never got to do this). We set off across a main road (which is quite scary) no helmets. The forest they talk about in th description is a woods littered with plastic bottles and carrier bags. Then across another busy road and up to the beach. We had photos taken on the beach and we headed straight back. You're on the beach for 5mins. You then head back through the littered woods and over the roads. It was a nice experience to ride a horse for the first time but I feel completely ripped off. The guide told me because we're beginners he didn't get to ride and he's had to work really hard so I better give him a tip. He kept being short with my son too. As soon as we were off the horses he held his hat out and reminded me that I needed to tip him because he didn't get to ride. The photographer is a nice man and the old man who drove us and sorted our photos was really nice. The photos were very overpriced. They wanted 30 euros but it was our last day so I had spent all my money and couldn't buy them for this amount. The activity is nothing like what is described and is not worth the price you pay either. I felt very sad that this happened on our holiday. Everything else about our holiday has been amazing. I didn't feel able to challenge them face to face as I was a lone female with my son and no one else there and didn't have a clue where I was. Very disappointed

Lovely trekk throughout the forest and beach on an autumn evening it was an enjoyable experience. The staff were pleasant also but for me the vintage rides were the best haha

Bad

Jessica_G, Aug 2024

Do not book with them, every horse was neglected, you could see the ribcages and hip bones on them.. they have to hit the horse for it to walk forward and in the pace they want it to go. Couldn't even give us treats for the horses because they said they didn't have any?

ABZURATEN!!!!!

Anika_M, Jun 2024

Pferde schon gesammelt und standen am Baum. Pflege der Pferde lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig, dünn und erschöpft. Mein Partner war für sein zugewiesenen Pferd viel zu groß und Schwer. Anfangs durch einen Müllwald, total vermüllt und verdreckt dann entlang an stark befahrenen Strassen, dann durch den Wald weiter( war toll, Sandboden und schön schattig) dann an den Strand auch hier kann ich nichts bemängeln. Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich. Für die die es sich zutrauten ging es am Strand ab in den Galopp oder auch ohne Sattel ab ins Meer. An und für sich sehr schön. Aber der Zustand der Pferde ist miserabel. Fertig, Pferde durchgeschwitzt ab an den Baum gebunden! VORAB WEIL VIELE SCHREIBEN WERDEN NICHT GETRÄNKT, DAS IST GEFÄHRLICH PFERDE SOFORT ZU TRÄNKEN!!!! Und schon kam die nächste Person. Verzeihung des Ausducks wegen aber diese Person wog locker 100Kg und war EINDEUTIG zu schwer!!!!!!! Pferd bzw Endmasspony hatte genau 10 min Zeit erneut auf Tour zu müssen!!! Das Erlebnis selbst schön aber dennoch RATE ICH AB ZUM WOHLE DER TIERE!!!!!! Für die Tour würde ich 3 Sterne geben aber wegen der Haltung und des Zustandes nur 1Stern. Das Einzug wirklich lobenswerte die Hufen waren top!!! Ich hatte einen Wallach, sher unruhig, da sollte man nur als erfahrener Reiter drauf, ständig angetrabt, am liebsten ab in den Galopp durchweg sehr unruhig. Aber dennoch händelbar! Mein Partner war zum 1 Mal auf einem Pferd aber er konnte im Schritt gehen und hatte auch keinerlei Probleme.

Katastrophe!Unbedingt vermeiden

S_M, Apr 2024

Die Pferde und der gesamte Stall waren in einem schlimmen Zustand.Die Tiere waren nicht gepflegt,dünn und wirkten sehr müde und nervös.Es kam eine Gruppe an und wir sollten sofort als neue Gruppe auf dieselben Pferde,die bereits völlig geschwitzt waren.Die „zuständigen“ Männer dort waren wirklich schroff und unprofessionell.Es gab keine Einweisung,obwohl einige Leute in der Gruppe noch nie geritten sind.Der Weg führte durch einen vermüllten Wald und über eine Teerstrasse zum Strand.Dort angekommen sind alle Pferde durchgegangen,haben gebuckelt und ein Pferd ist einfach losgerannt mit einem Kind drauf.Für das Kind endete der Ausflug in einem Rettungswagen!2 weitere Personen wurden abgeworfen. Ich werde das Veterinäramt informieren! Keine Entschuldigung vom Veranstalter bisher!Keine Reaktion auf meine Kritik.Unbedingt diese Tour vermeiden!

Es war ok.

Sandy_T, Apr 2024

Meine Tochter fand es gut. Aber wir sind anstelle 2 Stunden gerade mal 1 und 15 Minuten unterwegs gewesen. Die Pferde waren nicht sehr gepflegt. Am Strand sind wir für die Fotos nur hin und her geritten. Für mich als Anfänger war es recht schwierig, der Helm, den wir nur auf Nachfrage erhalten haben, ist gerutscht beim Galopp.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu sehen.

Wenn man den Pferden nur ein bisschen Pflege zu gesteht, die für uns selbstverständlich ist, dann wäre alles schön.

Maik_T, Feb 2024

Sehr nette Betreiber und da wir die einzigen waren, würden wir auch sehr flexibel betreut. Die Anlage an sich sowie die Pferde könnten ein wenig mehr Pflege vertragen. Trotz aller Kretik, gerne wieder.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu sehen.

Nie wieder! Völliger Reinfall!

Nicole_D, Oct 2023

Abholung vom Hotel eine Stunde später. Anstatt um 08.00 erst um 09.16. Abholung. Reiten anstatt 2 Stunden nur 1 Stunde durch Wälder mit Müll. Kein Strandritt. Völlig enttäuscht. Kein deutsch bzw. englischsprechender Guide. Nie wieder. Geld müsst man eigentlich zurück verlangen.

Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie eine solche Erfahrung gemacht haben. Wenn Sie uns über WhatsApp kontaktieren +905350403919 Wir werden unser Bestes geben, um Sie glücklich in Ihr Land zu schicken.

Etwas professioneller wäre schön

Maryam_K, Jul 2023

Die leute werden dort abgeklappert und es läuft etwas durcheinander die Pferde sehen echt schlecht und überarbeitet aus das reiten ist schön und der Ort zum Meer auch extrem schön man wird dort aber direkt wieder zurück gebracht die Mitarbeiter sind nett und hilfsbereit muss man mal gemacht haben
