Horseback ride at sunset along the beach
Description
Conditions and price details
Notes / Booking Instructions
A unique opportunity to experience the magical moment of SUNSET on horseback in Essaouira, on the beach.
Rancho de Diabat is located in the village of Diabat, and has exclusive access to the south beach, surrounded by dunes, a eucalyptus forest, and, looking west, the Atlantic Ocean and its waves. The ruined Poroghese Castle, lapped by the waters at high tide, and Mogador Island, home to an ancient prison, with the mosque's minaret visible from afar.
And with this landscape, riding along this beach, watching the sun set, a unique magic.
Depending on the season, the sky takes on different colors: summer sunsets are mostly clear skies due to the constant wind blowing from the north, while autumn skies are dotted with clouds that reflect the light in different ways every day, almost creating new pictures.
It's hard to choose which one is the most beautiful, but we invite you to send us your photographs and try to choose together.
The exact time of the walk and the appointment will be carefully communicated by the reception based on the actual sunset time, which varies from day to day and from season to season.
We guarantee you'll see the sunset on the beach, and we'll return to the Ranch immediately afterwards to avoid the darkness.
We are not responsible for adverse weather conditions, which do not constitute grounds for cancellation or complaint. (We do everything we can to satisfy you, but we don't yet have superpowers over the weather.) )
Plan
Otherwise, if you have a car, it's easy to reach the Ranch, located 3 km from the city center. When you book the horseback riding package with overnight stay, you'll be sent a map and GPS location by email. You can park in the Ranch's private parking lot.
Upon your arrival at Reception, you will be greeted by our staff who will show you the equestrian safety instructions, and you will be able to fill out the rental contract and meet your instructor who will help you choose the right helmet size.
Recommended attire is long trousers and closed shoes, and the rider's weight must not exceed 90kg to preserve the health of our Berber Arabian horses.
You'll leave the equestrian center on horseback and head towards the beach, riding along the banks of the Kassob River. You'll visit the Palace of Sultan Moulay Abdallah, then continue towards the dunes and the beautiful beach, where you can gallop. You'll admire the Portuguese Castle and get a close-up view of Mogador Island with its mosque and ancient prison.
