What To Expect
Travelers meet at the Jimi Hendrix Café, which serves as a clear and easy meeting point. Our team will be waiting on site to welcome travelers at the scheduled time. From there, the activity takes place nearby. Travelers are guided on foot for a short walk to the riding area, where the horses are prepared and matched to each participant’s level and experience. Before the ride begins, a short briefing is provided to explain basic riding instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident, regardless of experience level. The ride then takes place along the beach and surrounding natural areas of Essaouira, offering a peaceful and authentic experience in nature. The pace is adapted to each participant, allowing time to relax, enjoy the scenery, and connect with the horse. For travelers joining the sunset ride at 17:30, the experience is offered at a higher rate due to golden hour lighting and dedicated photo stops along the way.

5.00My experience with Horsebeach Essaouira - a dream 😍 ... horses, all stallions, one more beautiful than the other, energetic but always controllable, and very connected with people in turn; beautiful walks - in 1 hour we cross a small forest, sand dunes worthy of the Sahara and finally the beach on the edge of the Atlantic with only the horizon as limit. And for that I will come back again and again 🥰 ... for June and August it is already booked 🥳
Great experience and great food!
