Great for solo travellers but not a family activity.
We booked this as our 7yr old daughter loves horses and has always wanted to ride a horse along the beach. We arrived, filled out paperwork, used the very disgusting and spider infested portaloo and then were given our horses with the instructions of kick to go, pull left and right to steer and pull back to stop.
As we began the walk through the forest to the lake and then the beach, our daughter was led to the front of the line of horses and we were put near the back, there were at least 5 horses and riders between us and our daughter! Luckily, she has ridden a fair bit back in the uk and is quite confident and happy on a horse but had this been her first time it could have been very different.
The trek takes you through beautiful scenery past a lake and through forest down to quite a wild beach which you walk 100 yds along before heading back. No stop for photos or anything.
We asked if we could ride our horses up to be with our daughter and were told no because the horses were not friends !?!?!. Instead one if the staff took my husbands camera and ran to the front of the line if horses and took some photos of another persons child for us.
I know very little about horses, don’t really care for them and takes a lot to get me on one but I did this for my daughter as she desperately wanted us to go on a family horse ride on the beach but we didn’t see our daughter (except far in the distance) for the whole 2hr experience.
I would have liked there to be more time on the beach, maybe stop for photos or get off and stretch your legs but it was more a blink and you miss it.
I was the only horse that didn’t have someone leading it and constantly had people shouting at me about ‘distance’. As if I knew how to control the bloody thing, they shouted every time it tried to eat something but didn’t show me how to stop it from doing that.
The horses are beautiful and well cared for, the trek is beautiful and if you want to ride a nice horse in a line through lovely scenery non-stop for 2hrs away from your friends and family then this is a great excursion for you. But if you want to share this experience and ride with your family/partner then forget it.
A bit more effort is needed on the customer service element of this experience.

The young support staff is beyond friendly and helps a lot. Michelle, the manager, is fantastic. She took care of adjusting each saddle safely and ran by our side to take pictures and film us. The scenery was beautiful especially during the golden hour! Highly recommended!

Not only is the experience of exploring the area from the horsefarm to the lake and then the ocean (!) very impressive but to do it on horse, for the first time, that is bucket list material! And, with a great team that accompanies you.
