“I was first of all the only one on the trip which was great. We trotted and galloped through the woods and on the beach. I felt extremely free, it was amazing! I already have riding experience so they just let me do whatever I wanted. So worth my money I’ll def be coming back if I’m in the area. Photographer takes good pictures he was the one that rode with me. Very friendly guy we had a blast. The pictures were lovely and I got them for a good bargain. Cute little ranch with puppies and bunnies. Thank you so much!🥰”

4.Side Horse Riding On Beach And Through The Forests For 2 Hours

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 40 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $35Best value

Ride for two hours through Side’s wooded tracks, orange orchards, hamlets, rivers, and beach, with hotel pickup, a helmet, and an English-speaking guide. The horses are described as suitable for beginners, but recent feedback raises serious concerns about timing, safety procedures, riding conditions, and animal care.

“Lovely trekk throughout the forest and beach on an autumn evening it was an enjoyable experience. The staff were pleasant also but for me the vintage rides were the best haha”
