What to expect

Enjoy seamless round-trip transport from your accommodation in Essaouira straight to our stables in Diabat, a charming coastal village located just 3 km from the Medina.

Select between a daytime ride under the bright Moroccan sky or an unforgettable sunset departure. Upon arrival, meet your guide and get paired with a well-trained horse matched to your riding level. Embark on a varied loop winding through shaded mimosa and eucalyptus trails, where you might spot grazing goats, sheep, and camels. Crest the sweeping sand dunes that hug the coast before riding out onto the expansive, wild beaches of the Atlantic Ocean.

Enjoy the ocean air as your horse steps into the waves—if you choose the evening tour, you'll witness the spectacular golden colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea and sand. Open stretches allow experienced riders to trot or gallop along the shore.

After exploring this beautiful seaside landscape, wrap up your ride at our Diabat stables before relaxing on a smooth ride back to your hotel.
