Experience all of the Cinque Terre area

Carolyn_L, Apr 2024

We were well taken care of and it was a lot of fun and a wonderful view. Loved my horse, Lena. I recommend the experience!

Perfect ride with AMAZING views!

Manuel_C, Mar 2024

Me and my wife had a great time doing this activity! The views were AMAZING! Mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Highly recommend the adventure. Our guide was super nice, and the horses just love her. The dog that came along to help lead the horses was the icing on the cake.

Got engaged

Douglas_M, Dec 2023

Denise and her crew were fantastic! The communication they gave us from the booking to the pick up was perfect. My girlfriend had never ridden a horse before and she explained how to do so properly. We had an amazing time and at the mid-point I asked my girlfriend to marry me!! Denise filmed the proposal and couldn’t have been happier for us. We would come back for certain!

Great experience for a great price!!!

Kelly_S, Nov 2023

Denise was wonderful. We are from the states I went in this experience with my 2 daughters…one daughter is experienced the other daughter and myself had no experience. What a beautiful ride….the horses were very tame and we felt completely safe. Road along the coast line …absolutely beautiful! Recommend whole heartedly!!

We had so much fun at D’s...

Samantha_M, Oct 2023

We had so much fun at D’s Ranch! Daniela even picked us up from the Monterosso station and drove us up and back when we were done. The views were amazing and it was a beautiful experience riding the horses!

Best mountain side horse ride

Taylor_F, Oct 2023

10/10 would recommend for adventure seekers and animal lovers. Such a fun riding experience through the hills of Monterosso. Denise was wonderful with the horses and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times! Only recommendation for future bookings is to plan ahead the bus rides to reach the location and back.

Awesome afternoon

Thai_H, Oct 2023

This was my first time ever riding horse and it’s very beginner friendly. All the horses are calm and so easy to get along with. Diane picked me up and took us to her ranch where we were introduced to our horses. We set off into the trail no long after - where you can see picturesque views as you follow the trails to the top of a the hill for some quick pictures. Thanks for an amazing time!

Beautiful views and great company

Kelly_S, Oct 2023

Such a great experience!! Very patient and helpful when my husband and I were trying to figure out how to get to the barn, highly recommend!

Wonderful!!

Can’t miss experience in Cinque Terre!

Natalia_D, Sep 2023

Great experience with beautiful views and a very friendly instructor/ guide! The trail was amazing and the instructor makes you feel very comfortable on the horse.

Highlight of our trip to Cinque Terre!

David_K, Aug 2023

I went on a 2-hour ride with my daughter, who is 11 years old. Overall, we found this to be a terrific experience. Throughout much of the ride we saw beautiful panoramic views of the coast. The horses were energetic, responsive to our commands and majestic. Denise was an engaging, fun and supportive guide. Overall, we found that this to be a very positive, memorable experience, and a good value as well. Most of the ride was in the shade, which was nice given the heat. There was a variety of terrain and a well-timed fifteen minute break at the point with the best views (which were stunning). The ride seemed appropriate for both experienced riders as well as beginners. Very highly recommended!!!

Great experience

Maja_V, Aug 2023

Great time! The horses are taken care of really well. You can tell they are happy and not being over worked which is very important. Very pretty trail that gets to a great view of the sunset!

Fun experience!!

Madison_S, Aug 2023

We had such a great time on the ride! Denise communicated with us about transportation and gave us a ride to and from the bus stop. The horses were great, the views were beautiful, and everyone enjoyed themselves! 10/10 would recommend.

Just perfect

LucilledeCarmoy, Jul 2023

We had an amazing time horse riding with Denise ! Nice view, fun and funny horses, what can we ask more ?! Thank you very much for this quality time I hope to come back next year !!

A true Gem! Excellent experience.

RicardoA_A, Jul 2023

The view and experience was amazing, but the best thing was our guide/owner. Denisse is a true gem, patient, engaging and full of energy. We recommend it as part of your experience in Cinque Terre. Excellent!!!

Fin ride away from the hustle and bustle

Trevor_P, Jul 2023

So so fun! Guide was fun and funny, and loved the dog Ariel who joined us for the whole ride. It was a short bus ride from Monterosso where we then got picked up by our guide in her car. We were staying in Riomaggiore, but got there by train and bus very easily/quickly. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle to enjoy nature and some amazing scenic views.

Perfect even for first timers

Sam_P, Jul 2023

Incredible experience and a great way to start our trip. It was both our first times on horseback and the guidance and the horses themselves made picking it up easy. It was a beautiful way to see parts of Cinque Terre. Would recommend

Beautiful sunset ride in the national park

Jeanie_L, Jul 2023

Beautiful sunset ride through Lavanto national park. Denise was very kind and knowledgeable. We were actually the only ones on the ride so we were lucky enough to have a private ride!!

Epic horseback riding in Cinque Terre

Heather_P, Jun 2023

This horseback riding trip was incredible. The view from the trail amazing!! Denise was a fun guide and the horses were calm and great! The transfer from town was very smooth. We even got to see the baby ponies at the ranch. So highly recommended !!
