Horse Riding TenerifeBeach & Trail Rides

Horse riding in Tenerife: guided beach and trail rides

Horse riding in Tenerife is a relaxed way to see the south coast of the island, and rides run every day from Las Galletas. You can choose a shorter ride on the trails or a longer coastal route along the beach. No experience is needed: guides give riding instructions and a safety briefing before you set off, and the horses suit beginners and confident riders alike.

What the ride is like

There are two main options. The 1-hour ride takes the trails around the riding centre. The 2-hour coastal ride goes through banana plantations to secluded beaches, and is timed to reach the shore for sunset over the ocean. You can book a public group ride, with up to 6 riders per group, or a private tour for a more personal experience. There are three departures a day: 10:00, 14:00 and a sunset ride, which starts earlier or later through the year.

What's included

Every booking includes the guided ride, riding gear and a safety helmet, plus riding instructions before you start. Lockers are available for your belongings. Photos, videos and gratuities are not included.

Location and getting there

Rides start from Las Galletas, near Guargacho in the south of Tenerife. If you would like to be collected from your accommodation, you can add hotel pickup and choose your pick-up point during booking.

Who it's for and what to bring

Rides are suitable for guests aged 10 and above who are comfortable with mild physical activity. Weight limits may apply, so ask before booking if you have any concerns. Wear comfortable clothing, long trousers to avoid saddle sores and sturdy shoes. Bring sunscreen and a hat for daytime rides.

Booking and cancellation

Booking ahead secures your spot and can earn an early-booking discount. You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before your horse riding tour for a full refund. No-shows are non-refundable.
