Paardrijden op het strand van Essaouira

Ik zou niet meer onder de indruk kunnen zijn. Ik ging met mijn broer die nog nooit op een paard had gezeten, terwijl ik een ervaren ruiter ben. Ze mengen geen groepen, dus we konden het tempo volledig aanpassen aan waar we ons het prettigst bij voelden. Het bedrijf zorgt voor veiligheid en er waren helmen en chaps om te gebruiken, mijn broer was voor de eerste pogingen tot draf en galop vastgemaakt aan een veiligheidslijn, met goede begeleiding bleek hij een snelle leerling te zijn. De paarden (alle hengsten) waren absoluut ongelooflijk, niets dat ik ooit eerder heb meegemaakt met paarden die door zoveel verschillende mensen worden bereden! Ze zorgden ervoor dat ik en mijn broer zich in een mum van tijd op hun gemak en zelfverzekerd voelden. Ze reageren super op hun berijders, wat ertoe leidde dat mijn broer in zijn eentje een goede galop op het strand deed. Ik kon in volle galop gaan zonder problemen of paarden die elkaar probeerden te volgen. Absoluut ongelooflijk karakter, heel zachtaardig en lief, maar opwindend om te rijden! De gids was een aardige en geduldige leraar en houdt duidelijk van de paarden. Sterk aanbevolen!

We really enjoy the beautiful landscape riding such nice horses with the best guide. You must try it

I did their 6 day tour and camp through Essaouira at the end of February 2023. I went as a solo female traveller and wow what a trip, what an experience i highly recommend to any experienced riders for either just a day trip or the full tour. I'd never camped before so i was a bit nervous for this part along with the food but i thought where better to try it than abroad where it's warmer. I truly appreciated the whole experience, we had a designated chef who followed us through the tour and i can honestly say we were fed like kings and queens. We also had 2 maintenance guides who toured with the chef (because you never sleep in the same place), they set up our tents and guarded our stuff by day and took turns monitoring the camp by night. We didn't know this until a few days in but tourism is that important to them out there and their reputation that the local police did drive buys every night to ensure our guards were awake monitoring our horses, our stuff and us. By day the police would also call / check in with our guide 2-3 times a day as well checking our location and that everyone was well. I'll be honest before we found this out we already felt extremely secure but finding out this as well made us feel even more secure. It also shows how important their tourists are to them and explains why the crime rate is so low. Our tour guide Younes was just amazing, he really did do absolutely everything he could to ensure we enjoyed our experience, including capturing photos and videos where possible. The whole team were an absolute credit to the owners and as a solo female traveller i felt safe, welcomed and WOW what an experience i had. The scenery was amazing, the horses were well trained and well looked after like some other places we could easily identify on our travels, the organisation of everything really couldn't be faulted. The locals were also a breathe of fresh air in comparison to other areas, there was no being hounded, no constantly being chased for money. The locals greeted you with a smile and a wave and let you go about your business. Cheval Essaouira offers lots of activities from day trips to 3/4/5/6 day tours and if you get an opportunity to go I truly recommend it.
