Hotel Pickup
We’ll come and pick you up from your hotel. Just wait by the entrance (usually near the security gate). No need to stress — we’ll find you!

Getting Ready at the Ranch
When you arrive at the horse club, we’ll give you your helmet and gear. Before riding, the instructor will explain everything you need to know. Even if it’s your first time, you’ll feel ready.

Ride by the Sea
Then it’s time to ride! You’ll follow a quiet path that takes you down to the beach. Riding along the soft sand with the sea breeze and views of the Mediterranean is something really special. If you're confident on the horse, the guide may let you try a little gallop.

Back to the Ranch
After the ride, you’ll return to the ranch. There’s time to say thank you to your horse, take a few nice photos, and relax before heading back.

Return to Your Hotel
Once the tour is over, we’ll drive you back. No need to arrange anything — just enjoy the ride and maybe look through your pictures from the day.

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

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.

Schöner Ausflug für Fortgeschrittene

Ganz toller Ausritt Richtung Strand mit Badepause. Der Guide hat schöne Fotos gemacht und immer mit Ratschlägen zur Seite gestanden. Die Tiere sind in einem sehr guten Zustand; das Material müsste aber mal überholt werden. Am Sattel standen leider schon die Nägel raus.

Guter Preis und gute Organisation!

Wir waren im Urlaub im Royal Dragon Hotel in Side. Mit Vigo Tours haben wir Reiten am Strand gebucht. Alles hat perfekt geklappt. Es waren viele Pferde im Reitclub und jedes sah gut und glücklich aus :) Vigo Tour ist eine gute Reiseagentur in Side. Unsere Freunde in Deutschland haben uns empfohlen. Transferwagen war nicht so gut, aber es ist nicht so lange vom Hotel entfernt, also ist es okay:)
