5.00It was a fabulous experience. The horses were calm and looked healthy (their hair/fur looked shiny and soft). I was a little shy because it was my first ride, but Hamza was really understanding and helpful. My girlfriend was absolutely happy as well, it also met her expectations. Thanks to Hamza!
Amazing experience

5.00We took a horseback ride with Hamza and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of our stay in Essaouira. Horses are quiet, well trained and perfectly maintained. Hamza is very professional, patient and knows how to create a pleasant and safe atmosphere. The walk on the beach at sunset was simply magical: the scenery, light and atmosphere were perfect. We felt safe from start to finish, and we enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Essaouira. An experience not to be missed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful horse ride on the beach in Sidi kaouki

5.00The stables are about an hour's walk south of the medina (you can get a taxi, but we walked it no problem). I loved this experience. I hadn't ridden since trying to ride a shetland pony aged about 12 (so nearly 40 years ago :)) and this was just wonderful. My horse was really sweet-natured and I felt completely safe as we rode out alongside the river (you will see lots of river birds here) towards the beach. I managed a trot along the sand for a bit, and it was really special to feel so at one with the landscape and the horse. We did the 1-hour ride in the morning, and it was just myself and my friend on this ride: if you do the longer ride, then you can go inland to where the argan trees are. The flora on the 1-hour ride is more scrubland: thuja bushes, and a lovely stretch through eucalyptus trees as well. Wonderful experience, fully recommend (it was my favourite part of the whole holiday.)
A truly magical moment!

5.00Very cozy tour with the world's cutest Hamza. He took such good care of both me and his three horses. We walked and trotted for a while and then some galloping on the beach. Hamza adapted completely to my level. He is also very good at English.
A great ride!

5.00We had a sunset ride - one experienced adult and two beginner children. Getting there was simpler than I expected, and the communication was great. The horses were well trained and well cared for, and Hamza and his colleague made the ride fun for everyone, even with the different experience levels. Hamza also took some fantastic photos and videos, and made sure we had a taxi back into Essaouira, as well. It was a great experience for all of us.
