Nicest people ever...surprisingly pleasant, guys walked along the entire time with my kids' horses to make sure they don't get startled...beautiful ranch, amazing route by the ocean.

Amazing Experience

Alexandra_P, Sep 2023

It was such a fun afternoon. The guides were really experienced and gave us all horses suited to our abilities. Loved riding these pretty Arabs. My daughter and I were given a separate guide and had the chance to gallop along the beach after he gave us a few helpful tips. My horse was very responsive and fun to ride. I just loved it. My only regret was not booking a longer ride!! Thank you so much!!

Good in terms of value

Good service in general, pick-up worked fine, the horses are in a perfect condition , so you feel and see that the owner take care. The sanitary could be improoved, especily once you are two hours in the dust. All employees speak almost perfect english.

Stunning horse ride along the beach

Kanmein_K, May 2023

We arranged a pick up from a set location in essaouria which was very helpful. The transfer arrived on time and was a very cool VW campervan! On arrival, we watched a short guidance video which would have been good to go through with the staff when actually with the horses, as it wasn’t very clear how to stop the horse - though the horses are very well trained. The horses were all lovely and the staff handled them well. I would say that this isn’t a complete beginners trip, you have free reign of the horse (i.e. staff don’t hold the reigns and only 3-4 go along with the group) and there is some trotting which can be unexpected for a complete newbie! The walk along the beach is stunning and we loved the different terrain and sand dunes. Overall, an amazing experience and would do it again!

Good time and nice route...

Good time and nice route to private beach area. Little disappointed as not much time was spent on the beach, but would definitely recommend

Bad experience

Najlaa_E, Aug 2022

Bad experience at Ranch Diabat! We’re a family of five and we decided to go for a horse ride for some fun time, to our disappointment we had to deal with a problem of debutant with the team who decided to take a not well trained horse to the errand and to everyone’s surprise the horse stood on two legs and my mom fell from a height of about 50m or more and another horse panicked and threw me as well. Would not recommend or at least make sure you have a well trained horse.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Najilaa, thanks for review us and sorry for your mum, our horses are arab berber very small but they are stallions, we train them very well in a philosophy of horsemanship, with a very unic deal between horse and human. In the meantime, a horse is a live animal, can have reaction, that's why is mandatory the helmet and keep space between them, as the video you seen before your trip, and in the contract you signed before. If you mom follow down, was not 50 meters....the important things is that she is good, and we took care about her and the whole family. Take care Erika

Ein Urlaubsereignis

Wernfried_R, Jun 2019

Mit einer charmanten, weiblichen Reitlehrerin aus Kölle hatte ich einen wunderbaren Ausritt am Atlantik. Mein Pferd " Isabel" war sehr leicht zu reiten, und ein Ausritt zwischen "Castle in the Sand" und Atlantik zählt zu meinem Highlight im schönen Essaouira. Inshallah

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Vielen Dank für diese super Rezension! Es freut mich, dass der Ritt so gut gefallen hat! Es ist immer wieder schön zu hören, wenn unsere Gäste unsere Pferde und unsere Reitbegleiter zu schätzen wissen. Danke! Dann bis zum nächsten Mal!
