“When our boat trip got canceled due to high winds we had to pivot & found this option. We are so glad we did. It was a very enjoyable morning! The tour guide was so informative & a great experience for all. We saw monkeys! Had a great horse riding experience (4 of us & 4 “cowboys” with us) so felt very safe. And swimming in the cenote was great. There were lots of fun animals (all rescues) to see in the ranch as well. Highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · from $85

Ride a guided trail from the stables into the sea, pose for beach photos, then hike Dunn’s River Falls with a local guide. Drivers such as Renardo, Travoy, Kamal, and Ricardo have earned praise for safe driving, island stories, and helpful stops. Plan for wet clothes, cash for tips and photos, and a solid level of fitness.

“Our driver Ricardo was great! On our way to go horse back riding and Dunn's Falls, he told us the history of the island and pointed out landmarks. It was my first time horse back riding and the trainer Jay was great. He also told me about horses and the horse I was riding. Initially I was nervous but after a while I felt comfortable. We rode along the beach and took pictures and they came out great. We then headed to Dunn's Falls. That was an adventure. I only made it half way to the top. Although I didn't finish, I'm glad I experienced it. On our way back…”

Meet Yiannis and his team at Yannis Horses Farm in Kato Gerakari for a guided ride through olive groves, vineyards, pine country, and hilltop viewpoints. Choose a one-hour nature ride, a longer route, or the three-hour Ride and Swim tour, which reaches a quiet beach near Amoudi for a 25-minute swim with the horses.

“The guide was very knowledgeable, however, there is definitely a English language barrier. Cannot speak to all other languages. We took a lovely route through the Olive Groves and up into the hills behind his horse farm. Even seeing out over the sea and the south facing view of Kefalonia. The experience was great, however, we did not get the full two hours. Probably more like an hour and 20 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. Would’ve been nice to have gotten the full two hours however, the ride does where you out regardless. The horses are very well mannered and this is still an Expedition that beginners can…”
