Agadir or Taghazout beach horseback ride with hotel pickup, small groups, and guide photos at golden hour. 90 minutes.
“The best end to our holiday. Very friendly ranch with horses that were obviously well cared for. Welfare for them is clearly a big focus. The ride was brilliant. As a rider I was able to gallop whilst the members of our group who hadn’t ridden were supported to walk and trot if they wished. Time and effort taken into capturing incredible photos and videos on the beach and a nice small group. Would definitely recommend to anyone whether you ride or have never ridden.”
