Afternoon Horse Riding Through Pine Forests with Sea Views
A guided ride at dusk through fragrant pines, with the Atlantic as your backdrop.
This afternoon horse riding tour offers a peaceful 1h20min journey through a pine forest corridor that opens onto sweeping views of the sea. No prior riding experience is needed, and full guidance is provided from start to finish.
The route winds through shaded pine trails, keeping the pace relaxed and suitable for beginners and families alike. The afternoon light filtering through the trees creates a calm, unhurried atmosphere that sets this experience apart from busier daytime tours.
Groups are kept small — a maximum of six participants — so each rider receives personal attention from the guide. Families with young children are welcome, and parents may share a horse with children under the minimum solo age.
The experience is designed to be accessible and low-stress, making it a fitting choice for travellers who want a genuine outdoor moment without the demands of a technical riding lesson.

How the Tour Unfolds
Meet your guide at the designated meeting point in the afternoon. Riders are introduced to their horses and receive a brief safety and posture orientation before setting off.
The group moves into the pine forest trails, where the temperature drops and the scent of pine resin fills the air. The guide sets a comfortable pace suited to all experience levels.
At key moments along the route, the tree line opens to reveal clear views toward the ocean. Riders can pause here to take in the landscape before continuing.
The trail loops back through the pines, completing the circuit in a relaxed and unhurried manner. The guide remains close throughout to assist any rider who needs support.
Back at the starting point, riders dismount with the guide's assistance. The session ends with the horses being returned to their handlers and a chance to ask any questions.
