★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 99 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

Review of Side’s 2-hour horseback ride along beaches and ruins, with lessons, gear, hotel transfers, pricing, safety, and honest drawbacks.

“I was first of all the only one on the trip which was great. We trotted and galloped through the woods and on the beach. I felt extremely free, it was amazing! I already have riding experience so they just let me do whatever I wanted. So worth my money I’ll def be coming back if I’m in the area. Photographer takes good pictures he was the one that rode with me. Very friendly guy we had a blast. The pictures were lovely and I got them for a good bargain. Cute little ranch with puppies and bunnies. Thank you so much!🥰”
