Ride through Crete’s Finikia mountains, enjoy Zeus views, and share a homemade Cretan meal and wine at a friendly family farm.
“Hosts were great. Great energy and generosity. 10/10 recommend for anyone visiting the area.”
Ride through Crete’s Finikia mountains for Giouhtas views, a village panorama, calm horses, orange juice, and friendly local guides.
“The staff was very friendly and even offered us a ride to the farm and back to the hotel due to the rain. Once we were there, the inexperienced people got a small lesson to learn about the horses and how to ride them. Everyone can ride here, professional or beginner. Afterwards we were offered a nice drink at the farm and also food. All in all, a very nice experience and deffinetly worth the money!”
Ride Crete’s Finikia and Giouchtas mountains, enjoy wide views, and share a generous Cretan lunch with wine at a welcoming family stable.
“Fantastic horse ridding experience in the mountains with a freshly home cooked meal and wine after. The trip was very well organised. I am a beginner and I was on this trip with a mixture of beginner and experienced riders, which accommodated both. This is a family business and you can see clearly that this family love and take very good care if their animals, they treat their hoses and dogs as part of their family. I would highly recommend this experience.”
Ride through Crete’s olive groves to Plakias Beach, then canter beside the Libyan Sea with trained horses and an experienced guide.
“Expérience inoubliable 🥰 Dès le départ, nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité grâce aux explications claires et à la bienveillance du moniteur. Il a tout de suite compris que j’étais un peu inquiète, et il a su me rassurer avec beaucoup de patience et de gentillesse. Mon copain, qui n’était jamais monté à cheval auparavant, a lui aussi été parfaitement accompagné et a pu profiter pleinement de la balade. Les chevaux sont calmes, bien dressés et adaptés au niveau de chacun, ce qui nous a permis de profiter du paysage incroyable sans stress. Malgré le prix un peu élevé, je recommande !”
Ride horses by the sea, watch Falassarna sunset with wine, enjoy Cretan food, and receive drone photos on this six-hour trip from Chania.
“Wow what an amazing way to end a vacation! I went with my girlfriend on this activity and we both were extremely happy with it. We were picked up from hotel in time by the friendliest driver we have ever met. The driver had excellent customer skills and was very friendly towards all the people attending the activity. He made sure everything went smoothly. The riding was amazing experience. This was my first time ever riding and I loved it! I felt like a cowboy in western movies. Definitely can recommend for first timers as well! I felt safe riding as there was a friendly instructor helping everyone. After riding…”
Pick a coast, a gorge or a kitchen.
