2.From Essaouira: 2h Horseback Ride with Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 68 reviews · 2 hours · from $73

Ride from Diabat with an Arabic, English, or French-speaking instructor. You’ll cross a wide beach, sand dunes, ocean viewpoints, and Mimosa and Tuja forest on a calm Arabian-Berber horse. Guides including Mustapha, Ismael, and Hassan tailor the pace to your ability and finish with sunset photos.

“Esperienza bellissima. Dopo la prenotazione ci hanno chiesto se eravamo principianti o esperti. Trasporto incluso gratuito super efficiente. Ci hanno portati al maneggio dove abbiamo visto i cavalli tenuti benissimo. Ci hanno spiegato tutto e siamo partiti. Posto spettacolare, due ore meritano perchè ti portano fino alle dune di sabbia che scendono sul mare. Orario perfetto per vedere il tramonto. Guide carinissime e competenti. Lo consiglio caldamente. Secondo me molto meglio rispetto a quelli che ti vengono a proporre l’esperienza durante il giorno sulla spiaggia.”

3.From Essaouira: 1-Hour Horse Ride with sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 19 reviews · 1 hour · from $56

Ride for one hour from Ranch de Diabat, south of Essaouira, on a Barb Arabian horse matched to your ability. Follow the river, pass Sultan Mohammed III’s palace ruins, reach the beach, and watch the sun set beside the Atlantic. Guide Mustafa has earned praise for his patience and photos.

“Een echte aanrader! Vlotte communicatie op voorhand. Correcte afspraken. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Mooie ranch. Goed verzorgde paarden. De gids deed ook heel veel moeite om mooie filmpjes en foto’s van ons te maken!!! Merci daarvoor! 🥰 Als we dan toch 1 klein minpuntje moeten geven, dan is het dat het wel een beetje jammer is dat quads op hetzelfde parcours mogen. Maar dat ligt natuurlijk niet aan de ranch! Wij zijn alvast heel tevreden!”

Spend two hours on horseback near Agadir, with the pace adjusted to your riding ability. Afterward, enjoy a one-hour Moroccan hammam and one-hour Argan massage at a local spa. Hotel pickup and return are included, with an English-speaking guide and groups limited to 10.

“Did not initially think that horseback ride and massage went together but I was obviously wrong! Horse riding in the beach was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed it. The horses, beautiful and well behaved, could easily cope with inexperienced riders. After that we were brought to an hammam for an intense scrubbing and relaxing massage. The hammam staff were lovely and very professional. The whole experience left us feeling zen and relaxed. Overall a beautiful experience, will definitely recommend it!”
