★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 295 reviews · 1 hour · from $82Our pick

1-hour horseback ride in Carrapateira, Algarve, with coastal views, hands-on horse prep, and a guide who shares local nature details.

“What a wonderful experience. I booked this as a surprise for my partners birthday and we had a fabulous time. The horses are wonderful and all have their own characters shining through. I won't say too much about the views as you'll want to see these yourself, but they were stunning. Our guide Nelson was great! We stayed in Lagos and couldn't get and Uber so just took a local cab. Yes its more pricey however we had a great journey up and the driver waited for us to finish our experience and then took us back (off meter). it was well worth it. Thank you!”

Along a small road and turned right onto a fabulous beach that went on for kilometres. Absolutely stunning views. I can’t recommend this any higher. If you like horses and cold fun you will love this.”
