Amazing horse riding experience! The horses were well cared for and very easy to ride, even for beginners. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, making the whole activity really enjoyable. A special thanks to the organisers especially Wafaa, who was friendly, professional, and very attentive. She made sure that everyone felt safe and comfortable while sharing interesting insights and very beautiful Sunset Pictures can you get along the way. Highly recommended!

The wonderful woman that...

ALLAN_B, Aug 2026

The wonderful woman that owned this stable was so kind and patient with us. Her staff is perfectly trained. She drank tea with us afterwards and made us feel like we were at home. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in horses 🐎

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful words 🤍 I’m truly happy that you felt at home with us and enjoyed the warmth of the whole team. Sharing a mint tea together after the ride is always such a special way to end the experience. Thank you for your trust and recommendation, you’ll always be warmly welcomed back

Amazing private horse riding experience in Essaouira

Abubakr_P, Jul 2026

Thank you for such a lovely horse riding experience in Essaouira. I had a private 3-hour solo ride with my guide Lhssen and the horse Ruzgar, and it was honestly such a peaceful and enjoyable trip. The whole experience felt very personal and relaxed, and everyone was so welcoming. A special mention to Waffa (beautiful as the views you experience on the tour), who owns the stable and is actually the only woman stable owner in Diabat, which makes the place even more special. After the ride, I was also offered lovely mint tea, which was a really nice way to finish. If I visit Essaouira again, I would definitely come back to the same place. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review 🤍 I’m truly happy that you enjoyed your private ride with Lhssen and Ruzgar and that the experience felt so peaceful and personal. It means a lot to know you felt welcomed from beginning to end. Thank you as well for your incredibly kind words about me, they truly touched my heart. Sharing my passion for horses and welcoming guests to our stable is something I love deeply. I’m so glad you enjoyed the mint tea as the perfect ending to your ride. It would be a real pleasure to welcome you back whenever you return to Essaouira.

Best experience ever!

Matt_T, Jun 2026

Incredible experience. Haven't ridden in many years, Wafa nd her colleague gave me just the right amount of independence and advice to make the while 3hr trip fly by (ended too quickly). Weaving through eucalyptus forests, climbing sand dunes and galloping along the beach next to the ocean surf was magical! Thank you both, highly recommend

Best guide and horses!

We LOVED our experience with this tour. The guide was so accommodating as we were all new to riding. She went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. Also, she focused on getting amazing photos and videos of us at the beach during the sunset. We will cherish this memory.

Beautiful sunset ride

Michael_H, Jan 2026

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening ride. And they were so nice -- there was a glitch in our Viator booking, so they didn't have our booking or payment, but honored our reservation anyway without hesitation. The horses were clearly well cared for and well trained. I used to ride many many years ago, and by the end of our hour I was getting the hang of things again, which was fun. The beach at sunset was gorgeous. They took some great photos and video!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review 🤍 We’re truly happy that you and your daughter shared such a beautiful and relaxing sunset ride together. It means a lot to hear that you felt comfortable, well cared for, and able to reconnect with riding. Thank you as well for noticing the care given to our horses and the photos and videos. You’ll always be welcome back for another special moment by the sea.
