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. At the end of the ride, travelers return on horseback to the riding area, then walk back together to the original meeting point with lasting memories of a unique moment in Essaouira.

5.00The horseback ride with Wafaa to Diabate was the highlight of my stay in Essaouira, a unique experience in the heart of the stable. Wafaa greeted us with his smile and great kindness. We first discovered “the house of horses”, then comes a very special moment: here, it is the horse that chooses you. For me, it was my friend “Mabchour” 🐎🥰. We then started the ride quietly, time to get used to and create a bond with his horse. When we arrived on the beach of Diabat, the magic happens... A huge flat beach, almost just for us, against the backdrop of the island of Mogador and the sun that offers us a beautiful dose of vitamin D. We literally felt in another world. The hardest part of this experience, finally, is the moment when you have to go back to the stable. A huge thank you to Wafaa for his kindness and professionalism. I will return without hesitation to visit my friend Mabchour!
The highlight of my holiday

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 🥳
