Great tour for someone who wants to see the mountains on horseback

Julia_D, Apr 2026

I did the 5hr tour with Rachid as our guide and Kenzo as my horse 🐴 . Traversing on horseback through the Atlas mountains from rocky cliff sides to deep forests to lush meadows was truly an amazing experience. The horses are very well trained and cared for and I was amazed at their ability to navigate the landscape so well. Most of the ride was walking due to the rocky mountainous terrain but we did also get several opportunities trot and canter on the flat surfaces. If you are an experienced rider I highly recommend this tour.

Great Riding Experience

Katrina_C, Feb 2026

Booked the 2.5 hour riding adventure for 4 friends and myself whilst staying in Marrakech. What an experience! All 5 of us have horses, although some more advanced than others. We were picked up near to our Riad and taken to the centre by our lovely driver. When we got there, the horses were in good condition and we were paired with our horses and given a wee "test" in the arena. I was put forward as the more advanced rider of the group - so had a lovely, yet very spritely arab called Kenzo. These were not novice horses, with mine having a good few bucks / jogging / going sideways when he wanted to go, the other horses were also keen to snatch the reins at times. They obviously know the trails and anticipated the canters etc. The terrain was quite unexpected - and thankfully we are used to hill ground however some of the inclines and declines were not for the faint hearted. Our guide was lovely and informative and gave the horses a wee rest every now and then. The info did say the rides are tailored to rider experience so i assume more novice riders would be taken on an easier route. My hands were blistered with holding my horse back so would recommend taking gloves! Once we were back, we untacked and went with our driver to an argan oil cooperative, were given a small breakfast and seen how the oil is processed. Overall, we all had a fantastic day. It was a brilliant way to see the Moroccan countryside and the views were fabulous.

Would absolute recommend this activity! The experience itself was outstanding, the transfer and pickup was prompt, safe and clearly communicated. I am beginner level, my partner is not. We went for a hack on a varied trail with excellent views to the Atlas Mountains. This was absolutely a 5star experience and once we are so pleased to have done. Thank you!
