Boa Vista Horse Riding Experience

Horses were very well looked after and the staff were very informative, and really cared about the horses and riders

I did the 90 minute intermediate ride and enjoyed it thoroughly! The horses were just lovely, very well cared for and happy. The gallops along the beach were just something else! I will be definitely going again when we go back to Cape Verde next year :)

Haven’t ridden for over 40 years and went for intermediate ride and it was absolutely amazing. Had several gallops through the dunes and along the shore line and it was truly wonderful. I had the biggest smile on my face throughout the whole 90 minutes. Would highly recommended ??

This was a fantastic ride. Be prepared for a halt straight to gallop so if your not ready for that then maybe beginners would be more suited. Guide didn't speak alot of English but enough to check we were happy. Stunning views and walk throu crystal clear waters. Lovely ride. We were initially told that ride had been cancelled as needed at least 3 so we paid for 3rd but went just the 2 of us and it was well worth it. Our guide even carried our water in his rucksack.

Pick up point on ticket was roundabout, thats all it said. We waited outside our hotel where the roundabout is and no one turned up. Finally found a rep who told us the horses are down by the hotel next door, so ridicolous when your informed otherwise. Young boy was with horses, gave us paper to sign saying we had been told the rules, when we asked the boy what the rules were he didnt know what we were asking. Horse ride was through a tip of a road then 10 mins along beach.

Great opportunity for experienced rider but the instructions need to be much clearer. Says intermediate but ride includes several gallops this should be clear in instructions.. Also wear leggings and there is no where to leave bag etc so you need to carry everything on horse so pack light. Remember to take some apples for horses - their diet is very restricted . Daughter loved it !
