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
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.
Very well-organized horse tour. We booked the three-hour tour. Some prior riding experience is recommended for this tour. The horses don’t only go at a walking pace, so being confident in the saddle is advisable.
Perfect if you have a bit of experinse of riding
The whole 3 hours long ride was wonderful! The horses are calm and easy to ride. The scenery is just outstanding. I wasn’t a confident rider but I easily cantered along the beach and by the end I was absolutely loving it. Only down side is I didn’t bring leggings so only had thin trousers on which meant the saddle rubbed causing a bit of bruising. They have chaps at the ranch but I wasn’t offered them and didn’t see them until the end. However, it was totally worth it and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Bucket list item ticked off!
Me and my partner did the 3 hr ride and loved it. From start to finish it was brilliant. 100% recommend. I’m an experienced rider but my boyfriend hasn’t ridden much and he really enjoyed. Great fun. The horses were lovely.
Best day ever! Did the 3 hour trek and it was beautiful, such well behaved horses!! Definitely need riding experience and to be confident for this but I absolutely loved it and so so glad I booked.
Nice horses, the trip at the beach was amazing, more riding tips would have been great
