Highly recommend a mask or bandana for the first part as the dust kicked up was A LOT, sunset option to avoid the heat, and be aware you may cross a nude beach area but very few there in the evening. The guides were summer interns from all over and super sweet. They took so many photos from all angles and we greatly appreciated that. The new location was beautiful and the horses seemed well cared for.”

Ride through Zakynthos olive groves and pine country, then swim with horses at a quiet beach on this small-group adventure.
“The guide was very knowledgeable, however, there is definitely a English language barrier. Cannot speak to all other languages. We took a lovely route through the Olive Groves and up into the hills behind his horse farm. Even seeing out over the sea and the south facing view of Kefalonia. The experience was great, however, we did not get the full two hours. Probably more like an hour and 20 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. Would’ve been nice to have gotten the full two hours however, the ride does where you out regardless. The horses are very well mannered and this is still an Expedition that beginners can…”
