We did the sunrise option which was great as not too hot and watched the sunrise during the ride down to the beach. Horses are clearly well looked after and the guide was brilliant. He was entertaining and engaging throughout and took lots of photos & videos for us. Would definitely recommend.”

“I had already paid $800 for the experience then after getting to the park, there was a $25 entry fee which was an extra hundred dollars for my family then there were optional upgrades and pictures. It would’ve been nice to know all the options while booking and I feel like the entry fee should be included in the price. It felt like we were being taken advantage of once we got to the park.”

Ride through Spain’s Tabernas Desert with gentle horses, film-set views, expert guides, and practical tips for this two-hour tour.

“It was a very enjoyable walk through the desert and viewing many sites from famous and not so famous movies. The horses were high quality horses (genuine movie star horses used for actors and stuntmen). Our guide, Theo (sorry if we misspelt this) was excellent, explained all about the desert, what we were seeing and took photos of us at prominent photographic locations. The horses have two speeds - walk and gallop. Only our daughter who is an experienced rider was invited to gallop and they went very fast - she loved it. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience”

Horses are thoughtfully assigned based on rider experience, and there’s great support for nervous riders — including a guide who can walk alongside you if needed. The city-to-beach route is absolutely stunning and really makes the ride special. Just a heads-up: the listed duration is for the activity itself and doesn't include travel time, so plan accordingly.”
