- Nikica L. 5.0Best way to spend an evening in Santorini
My daughter enjoyed her private session. People are great, professional horse riders, and the place itself, along with the horses, is magical. Look forward to going back!, A great experience!
- Sally W.29 Mar 2025 5.0Amazing experience even in the cold’
This was an amazing experience even in the wind and cold with our family. The guides were so wonderful, the horses beautiful and respectful of all experience levels. They let my daughter who is experienced as a rider stay back at the end at the beach to gallop back home… she was in Heaven!!! Mohammed was beautiful and very informative as we rode around and to be honest in the winter time it’s the only way to see the black beach. Highly recommend - and if you get a transfer with them to the stables make sure to ask for the little winery tasting on the way back!
