This 3-hour beach horse riding experience in Mallorca begins at the stables in Can Picafort, where you’ll be welcomed by professional instructors and introduced to your horse. After a clear safety briefing and riding introduction, you’ll have time to get comfortable in the saddle before setting off. The horses are calm and well trained, making the start of the ride relaxed and confidence-building, although some previous riding experience is recommended due to the overall duration of the excursion.
Once on the move, the route heads towards Son Bauló, where the real beach riding begins. You’ll ride along the shoreline with the sea beside you, crossing sand dunes and open coastal stretches while enjoying wide views over Alcudia Bay. This part of the tour offers one of the most memorable moments of the experience, combining freedom, nature and the unique sensation of riding a horse by the sea.
The journey continues towards the protected natural area of Son Real, passing ancient ruins and old watchtowers that give a glimpse into Mallorca’s history. After reaching Son Serra de Marina, the return route takes a different path inland, following peaceful pine forest trails back towards Can Picafort. This circular itinerary allows you to experience beach, dunes, forest and countryside in one single ride, making it one of the most complete and varied horse riding tours in Mallorca.
Customer Reviews – Beach Horse Riding in Mallorca
The place was easy to find and parking was readily available. The 3 hs were for me as a beginner a bit too much, but my daughters loved it. The scenery through the woods and then the beach was beautiful, I was smiling the whole time until my butt started hurting from all the seating 😂. The horses behaved very well, and they looked well kept and trained. It was hot, and the employees were keeping the area around the horses wet to bring the temperature down. I read some bad review regarding the way the owner talks to the employees. Personally, I didn't notice anything said or done that was bad. If the employees themselves feel mistreated, they could go work somewhere else, if they stay, they probably like it there. I asked the owner some questions when we were done and he was nice. As a beginner I felt safe, my daughters are experienced and were allowed to gallop in a controlled way. So everybody was happy. I would recommend and also do it again next time. Thanks!
Wonderful ride and all those running the ranch. We were mistaken where we were staying and they also made a special trip back to get us. Trails were great and views along the beach spectacular. Anyone who loves horses should do this while here!
The horse I had was so calm and me being first time in a horse for over 30 years made the afternoon perfect
Great fun 3 hours was a little to long for my first time but definitely recommend
Es es war eine sehr große Gruppe, circa 20 Leute. Die Pferde sahen gut gepflegt aus und waren sehr artig. Der Ausritt hat viel Spaß gemacht und für die fortgeschrittenen Reiter gab es auch die Möglichkeit zu galoppieren. Strecke am Strand war sehr schön und wir konnten mit den Pferden auch ins Wasser reiten. Ich wäre gerne noch etwas länger am Strand geblieben. Zwischendurch wurde eine Pause gemacht und wir wurden mit Getränken versorgt.
Wir waren heute drei Stunden reiten am Strand und sind alle relativ unerfahren gewesen. Unsere Kinder 11 und 13 sind auch relativ unerfahren. Es war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis. Die Pferde sind super lieb und man sieht dass man sich hier gut um die Pferde kümmert. Wir werden den Ausritt mit euch nie vergessen. Ihr macht einen super Job. Alle waren super lieb. Wir werden beim nächsten Mallorca Urlaub an euch denken und kommen sehr sehr gerne wieder :)
My son did 3 horse riding sessions and visited the safari park all booked with no frills and he thoroughly enjoyed them all. The lady in the office I think her name was Yves was very helpful and we wouldn't hesitate to book on our next visit.
If you have always dreamed of riding a horse right next to the sea, you have to book this. We found it on the NoFrills Excursions website and it caught our eye because it includes actual beach riding instead of just countryside paths. The entire experience ran like clockwork, starting with the punctual pick-up service right from our hotel in Playa de Muro. When we arrived at the stables, the staff and the ride leader were so incredibly friendly and majos, making sure we felt comfortable in the saddle before heading out. Galloping gently past the dunes with the sea right beside us was pure freedom. We also loved the second half of the trip where the route changes completely and you ride through these peaceful pine forests back to Can Picafort. It feels like a proper adventure but you always feel safe because the instructors are right there watching over everyone. It is easily one of the most complete excursions in Mallorca we've done so far. Definitely worth every penny!
We booked this excursion through NoFrills Excursions based on their twenty years of experience in the northern region, and we were not disappointed. The communication was excellent, as we received our voucher and precise stable details via email immediately after booking. The 3-hour duration is quite substantial, so the recommendation for some previous riding experience is accurate, but the gentle pace made it very manageable. The instructors were highly professional and attentive to our safety throughout the entire journey. It was a pleasure to ride through the quiet pine forest trails of Son Serra de Marina on the way back. A very well-planned and reliable local tour.
This was the perfect afternoon activity for us since they provided free hotel pick-up from Puerto Alcudia. The instructor was exceptionally patient and helpful with my son, ensuring all our equipment and helmets fit perfectly before we set off towards Son Bauló. Riding along the shoreline with views of Alcudia Bay was an unforgettable experience for us. It is a very well-organized excursion and definitely offers good value for money.
