Our excursion begins at the riding stables in Can Picafort, and we will start with a short introduction to horse riding. The horses are used to taking riders with them even without riding experience, but for this tour it would be better if you had some experience, as the ride lasts 3 hours.
First we will ride from Can Picafort to the beach at Son Baulo, and there we will join the beach. We will ride through some dunes and along the beach to the pretty area of Son Real, a prehistoric settlement and historical observation towers, while we also enjoy beautiful views of Alcudia Bay along the way. When we reach Son Serra de Marina we will make a brief stop.
On the way back to Can Picafort we will take a different route through a pine forest, so you have the experience of riding through different landscapes during the horse riding excursion, this being one of the most complete horse riding experiences in Mallorca.
Beach Horse Riding Reviews
Overall, it was a good experience. Our horses were well-behaved and good-natured, and the ride itself was fun with lovely views. We even got to enjoy some canter and gallop, which was great fun, definitely recommended for those with previous riding experience. However, the start of the ride was a bit unpleasant. Some horses that were tied up got loose, and one of the staff began shouting at others, which created a bit of tension. Another rider was given a young 3-year-old horse that wasn’t very well-behaved, which made the beginning of the ride quite stressful. Unfortunately, one girl in our group fell off twice, and the guides didn’t seem particularly concerned or attentive about it. While we were happy enough with our own horses and enjoyed the experience overall, it would be much better if the guides were more interactive and careful, especially with less experienced riders. As is often the case, they took one photo and tried to sell it at the end, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the horses seemed well cared for, and we still had a nice time overall.
Es war wunderschön- definitiv nichts für Anfänger aber ansonsten sehr schön. Pferde sind super brav. Man kann sie quasi am langen Zügel durch den Ausritt reiten. Galoppstrecken sind super und ausreichend lange.
Pickup and return went fine, no problems. My daughters horse was lame and we pointed it out at the beginning of the trip but nothing was done 😔 so it took off the excitement of the trip. The trip itself was nice and the horses was nice. It could have been nice if the "guides" actually guided the tour and told us what we were passing by, instead it felt most like we were just another group of tourists, not very personal.
Gut organisierter Reitausflug inkl Hotel-Abholung/Rücktransport & Versorgung mit Wasser während der 3stündigen Tour. Zuweisung der Pferde entsprechend dem jeweiligen Reitlevel & auch Aufteilung der Gruppe bei Galopp-Möglichkeit. Sattelgurt & Ausrüstung wurden vor Abritt von Chef & Tochter kontrolliert, Helme, Gerten etc werden ausgeteilt. Landschaftlich sehr schöner Ritt! Für Reiter ein Muss, für Anfänger/reine Touristen mit 3 Stunden vielleicht ein bisschen zu lange.
It was a great trip but super warm. It was my second time on a horse and a bit scary to go faster with them but it worked out. However we didn’t go into the sea during the 3hour ride. All in all a great experience.
Booked the 3 hour experience for my 13 year old daughter. She is a confident rider who can trot and canter. She found the experience really enjoyable, and something she would do again.
We loved our 3 h ride. But as experienced riders it would have been nice to devide the group from the beginning so we could ride our own tour. But we were riding in front with the owners daugther and she was lovely.
De ontvangst was niet geweldig. Er werd geen Hallo gezegd, niet welkom geheten. Ze commandeerde of vroegen met Duitse kreten. De paarden die net terug kwamen van een rit, moesten gelijk weer voor de volgende rit door, zonder een slok water. De rit van drie uur was mooi. De paarden zijn gewend om aan te moeten sluiten in de rij en maken continu een drafje. Dat was heel onprettig rijden. De meiden die de groep leiden, riepen ook af en toe een Duitse kreet. Paarden waren goed, rit was mooi, maar het gevoel wat het hele gebeuren gaf, maakte de ervaring echt wat minder geslaagd.
Wonderful experience and nice people
The 3-hour trip was enjoyable, and the scenery was beautiful. However, some experience is definitely required. One issue I noticed was that the two guides spent most of the tour riding ahead and talking to each other, which made me feel less safe. If I had encountered any issues, I wouldn’t have been able to get their attention easily. It would have been much better if one of them had stayed at the back of the group to keep an eye on everyone.
