They care

5.00Initially there was a bit of hanging around while they tacked up the horses, however it did allow you to see the stables & the treatment of their animals which showed they cared. Interesting all the different companies have their stables in the same spot, looks a like a makeshift medina but for horses! The ride itself was lovely, us 2 and another couple. I have a little experience & the others not. Do they really try to give you the best experience & pictures. First class. I think they’d be brilliant at a longer session.
Special and unfogettable experience whit professional people

5.00Communication was great. They have all stallions that are ready to ride. If you want to go slow or trot or whatever you want they will let you. Just be careful because if your riding skills are strong you don’t want to go to fast. It was a great experience and well worth it. Amazing ride.
Top notch experience and pictures

5.00Went with my young adult children- one likes riding and one does not. Had an absolutely perfect experience. The owner took my son for a gallop along the beach, coaching him through it as my son hadn’t ridden in a while. The assistant walked alongside the horses that my daughter and I rode. Beach is beautiful. The assistant took pics on my phone of my daughter and me, which came out nicely. The owner used his own phone to take pics and videos of my son and they were PHENOMENAL - practically professional. Sunset ride was timed perfectly. Great value for the money. I can’t recommend them enough.

5.00A ride at ocean ranch is guaranteed for a wonderful experience. The horses are well cared for and fantastically trained. The sheltered dogs and cats and their youngsters are also well cared for here! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Communication is super easy and Ismail always goes the extra mile to take care of everyone! Don't just sit on every horse on Essaouira beach, it's not comparable to a booked ride through a ranch in Diabat. You get extensive time and always beautiful photos and videos. They choose a horse that matches your experience and do this very skilfully. See you next time!
Overwhelming riding experience

Amazing horse riding experience in Essaouira

5.00An absolutely amazing experience! This was my second time visiting the ocean ranch in Essaouira, and it was just as magical as the first if not better. The horse ride along the ocean is unforgettable, with breathtaking scenery and beautifully cared-for horses. A special thank you to Ismail, who was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel safe, relaxed, and truly special. The team is welcoming from start to finish, and this is the kind of place you’ll always want to come back to. I will definitely be going back again for a horse trek and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Essaouira. And an extra shoutout to the incredibly amazing dog Rocky, who completely stole our hearts and added so much joy to the experience. P.S. He plays fetch — and he’s very serious about it.
Amaizing experience
