Beautiful Tour & Wonderful Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour was wonderful! I really enjoyed being able to learn and experience the island from horseback! The horses are beautiful and well looked after. They are also well trained and did a great job on the tour. Monica is awesome! She is very knowledgeable about horses and would provide helpful instruction to better communicate with your horse when needed. No matter your skill with riding I would recommend this tour if you are visiting Terceira Island!

A great way to start our trip!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was the best way to start our trip in the Azores! Neither of us had any riding experience but Monica and Fabio made sure we felt comfortable and safe with the horses before we left. Detective was a fun horse to ride! Don’t miss out on this.

Forrest adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

The entire experience was amazing! My wife and I did the long tour which was the perfect amount of time. The horses (Caramel and Flash) were perfect for us and were patient with our inexperience. Our favorite parts were going through the forest in between the trees high up in the hill and listening to all the history and facts about the island. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Fantastic 3-Hour Horseback Adventure

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a fantastic time on our horseback riding adventure! My fiancé and I enjoyed a memorable 3-hour tour, which, although it might seem lengthy, was the perfect amount of time to really dive into learning about horseback riding. Our host was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and an overall calm teacher which made the experience even more enjoyable. As we rode, we not only gained riding skills but also learned fascinating details about the local wildlife. We were also provided water in the middle and after the journey, which was a nice touch. Great experience from start to finish!

Beautiful Experience

Published on Aug, 2024

We had an amazing experience with Basalto! It was a 40min ride up to the trail and we had plenty of amazing views of Terceira. I have already recommended it to the friends and family from the Azores. Great way to experience the island!
