Horse Riding in Alcudia – Forest & Beach Tour Overview
What do we do on this horse riding tour in Alcudia?
This forest and beach horse riding tour in Alcudia offers a carefully planned 90-minute experience that perfectly combines Mallorca’s countryside, coastline and total relaxation. From the moment you arrive at the local ranch, everything is organised to make you feel comfortable and confident. Professional instructors welcome you personally and assign each rider a suitable horse based on height, weight and riding experience, ensuring a safe, balanced and enjoyable ride for everyone.
Before setting off, you’ll receive a clear and easy-to-follow riding briefing, where the instructors explain how to sit correctly, steer and communicate with the horse. This step-by-step introduction makes the excursion ideal for beginners and first-time riders, while still offering a rewarding experience for those with some previous riding experience. The route starts directly from the ranch and follows a circular itinerary designed to build confidence gradually.
The first section of the ride takes place along peaceful forest trails and pine-covered paths near Alcudia, creating a calm and natural setting where you can relax, connect with nature and enjoy the rhythm of horse riding. This gentle start allows riders to fully settle in and appreciate the quiet beauty of the Mallorcan countryside.
One of the absolute highlights of the tour is the transition from forest to coast, where you ride along the beach near the protected natural area of Son Real. Riding by the shoreline with open views over Alcudia Bay, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the waves, creates a truly unforgettable moment that very few horse riding tours in Mallorca can offer. After the beach section, the route gently returns through forest paths back to the ranch, completing a varied, scenic and memorable forest & beach horse riding experience in Alcudia.

Were told to come at 4 but then made to wait 90 mins for the next booking! Otherwise a great experience

Würde hier direkt nochmal einen Ausritt buchen! Die Pferde sind super ausgebildet und wirken gepflegt und zufrieden. Obwohl es eigentlich eine Tour für Anfänger war, hat der Reiseführer einzelnen die Möglichkeit geboten zu galoppieren. Natürlich nur wenn man möchte, aber da fast alle super sicher im Sattel waren, haben wir uns sehr darüber gefreut. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis! 💫

Got picked up about 10 mins after the scheduled collection time, and arrived on time for the start. Got thrown straight in with crossing a busy road to start, but traffic was patient as we crossed in a convoy. Absolutely beautiful trail. Staff were a little gruff but very skilled in communicating in English, Spanish and German. I would highly recommend it for someone who has ridden once or twice before, but might be a bit tough for an absolute beginner.

Luisa
The horses had a very nice stable and appeared very well looked after. The staff was not very chatty or friendly. But in the end it is about the horse riding so yes, worth to book.

There were too many people, and we weren’t guided properly.

My 15 yr old daughter and I had a fantastic time. She is an experienced rider and I am a very rusty one who does not normally ride these days (we have our own horses at home but they are elderly retirees now) . The horses at the ranch are well nourished, and in good condition, their tack fitted well and they had thick padded saddle pads to protect their backs. Yes, their bits are stronger than we would use at home but they are used to being ridden on a long relaxed rein so the bit rarely comes into play. My daughter was able to join the gallop group where I opted to stay with the walk/trot group and this was well managed. When we returned the horses were all led away to be hosed off and enjoy a rest over the hottest parts of the day. Although it is advertised as suitable for absolute beginners, I personally think this excursion is better suited to those with at least a basic knowledge of horse riding. The group is large (or it was when we were there) but it moves along at a fair pace so there are times when you will be required to trot to keep up which may be stressful for a beginner especially over the more uneven parts of the terrain. The leaders are as helpful as they can be but there is only so much 3 of them can do when trying to manage a group of 20 riders (many of whom were complete beginners) . If they need to be firm in their instruction, this is not personal but for safety of horse and rider. Knowing how to safely steer your horse, understanding the aids for stop and go and being able to hold the reins in a gentle relaxed manner before you go will allow you to get the best out of this activity. On another note we got there by bus from Puerto de Pollensa. It was very easy with just one change and a 4 minute walk a shady pavement from the bus stop to the ranch.

My partner and I were searching for authentic excursions in Mallorca that offered a safe beach riding experience for beginners, and this NoFrills Excursions tour was flawless. The local ranch chosen by the company adheres to high standards of customer care, assigning horses perfectly based on our height, weight, and lack of previous experience. The 90-minute circular itinerary is beautifully balanced, starting through pine-covered forest paths before opening up to the coastline near the protected natural area of Son Real. Feeling the sea breeze while riding by the shoreline was truly unforgettable. Since hotel transport is included from Playa de Muro, the entire day ran seamlessly. Both the host instructors and the transport team were extremely polite and professional throughout. This tour represents exceptional value for money for couples seeking a well-organised and scenic nature experience.

We went on this forest and beach horse riding tour as a family and it was an incredible experience. The minimum age to ride your own horse is 6 years, which was perfect for our kids, and the briefing before setting off made everyone feel completely safe. We started on peaceful forest trails to get used to the horses, and then we rode right along the beach with beautiful views of the bay. Safety equipment like helmets is fully included, and the whole setup feels highly professional. A very reliable local company and a highly recommended excursion to do with family.
