If you are experienced enough (been riding 30 years and had my own horses in the past) will you definitely be able to gallop? If you choose to swim is this done bareback on the horse and is there extra time for this or is it part of the 1 hour spent at the beach.

We are travelling to turkey in August and would like to book the beach ride but would really love the gallop on the beach as this is one of my dreams that I have never been able to achieve as yet.. we are all experienced riders

Hello, Thank you very much for contacting us about Horse riding tour in Side. First of all, unfortunately, we do not have a pick-up and drop-off service from Alanya for the horse riding tour on the Side beach. This is because the distance is very far (70 km). In addition, in our horse riding tour, there is a chance to gallop for a short time on the beach, but the main purpose of the tour is not to gallop. Experienced horse riders are given the opportunity to canter on the beach for a short time, but this requires experience and confirmation from the stable staff. Best regards, Vigo Tours

Hey! We are two experienced riders who are considering a ride between 1-6 of June. Is there any day that week when there are only experienced riders on the tour? Best regards/ Karolin
16.05.2022

Hi. I am very interesting in this for my daughter. She is 14 and an experience rider. How far is the beach you use from Pegasos world hotel. As I would like to watch her on the beach. Thank you
11.04.2022

Hello, Thank you for contacting us. The beach we go for our horse riding tour is about 30 minutes far from Pegasos world hotel. The name of the place is Gundogdu. If you also want to come as companion it s possible with paying 10€ but from our horse ranch to the beach it might be difficult for you to walk with the horses. From ranch to the beach takes about 20 minutes by horses. Kind regards, Team Vigo Tours

Reittour nicht zu empfehlen

Die Reittour war das Geld absolut nicht wert. Die Tour dauerte etwa 1,5 Stunden davon waren 5 Minuten reiten am Strand. Fotos vom Fotografen hätten pro Person 25€ zusätzlich gekostet. Weil wir das nicht wollten, wurde uns keine Möglichkeit gegeben selbst schöne Fotos zu machen. Das Personal war sehr lustlos und unfreundlich. Ich hatte Positiv: die Abholung hat gut und pünktlich geklappt und der Herr der mit dem Motorroller beim Reiten dabei war, hat gute Reittipps gegeben.

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!

Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist das Fotografieren während der Reittour für die Reiter gefährlich und verboten. Normalerweise bleiben wir ziemlich lange am Strand, aber wir haben unsere Tour etwas früher beendet, damit Sie das Abendessen in Ihrem Hotel nicht verpassen. Denken Sie daran, dass wir Sie von einem etwa 20 km entfernten Hotel abgeholt haben. Wir haben Ihnen aufgrund der Unannehmlichkeiten auch eine kostenlose Tour angeboten, aber leider waren Sie in Ihr Land zurückgekehrt. Ich wünschte, Sie hätten uns früher informiert.

Sehr schöner Ausflug

Es war alles sehr schön und hat viel spaß gemacht. Es war eine tolle Erfahrung am Strand zu reiten. Man ist ca eine halbe stunde zum strand durch wunderschöne gegenden geritten und haben dann eine ca 20 minütige pause am strand gemacht und anschließend wieder zurück geritten. Am strand sind wir kurz durch das wasser geritten, was super schön war. Die Einführung am Anfang war etwas mager, vorallem für anfänger, aber wenn man eine weile auf dem pferd sitzt, gewöhnt man sich selbst daran und lernt schon von allein wie man das pferd unter kontrolle hält. Also im großen und ganzen war es ein wunderschöner ausflug und hat riesen spaß gemacht! Die autofahrt zur ranch war auch cool.

Fun in the sun

Our ride in the sunshine was extremely fun, the professionals that lead us were very skilful and made sure we were comfortable at all times. The beach we rode along was very cute too, we even went in the water with the horses. Definitely recommend for a fun experience while in side! :)
