I’ve done the 4-days horse trekking with Hamza in Morocco and he has been a great guide! He’s so kind, professional, friendly, and you can sense his love for horses by the way he treats them. I’ve learned a lot from this experience and can’t wait to be back again!

Hamza is the perfect instructor whatever your level of experience. It was my first time and I felt very safe. Hamza and his partner Yamina made everything very easy and their horses are not only extremely beautiful but very calm and under complete control. Highly recommend this excursion to both experienced and first time riders.

Absolutely the best way to see the coast! We did the sunset ride and it was pure magic. The path takes you through the dunes and forest and right along the water. We even got to gallop, which was so thrilling but I felt totally safe the whole time as the guide was with us the entire time. If you want a real adventure in Essaouira, this is the one to book.

The 2 hour sunset ride was absolutely incredible. You can see right away that the horses are happy and very well cared for, which was so important to me. Hamza was also the best company! He adapted the pace perfectly to our level, so we felt completely safe but still had so much fun. Riding through the dunes and along the water in that golden light was an experience I’ll never forget. If you are in Essaouira, you have to do this.

Such a beautiful experience! We did the 2 hour sunset ride and it was honestly magical. The horses are so sweet and clearly very well cared for, which made the whole trip much more enjoyable. Hamza was a great guide: very calm and professional. He made sure the pace was just right for us, so we felt safe the whole time but still had a lot of fun. Riding through the dunes and then along the water while the sun was setting was incredible. That golden light on the beach is something I’ll never forget. A very peaceful and authentic way to see the coast. Highly recommend if you’re in Essaouira!

I can tell by my experience, that Atlantic Horse Essaouira do by far the best Horse treks in marroco 😍 I did a 3 day trek and our guide was extremely nice , telling us about some of the historical places as we went and guiding us with the horses. Although I had little to no experience prior, our guide hamza made us feel extremely confident and safe on the horse and in the area.
