Saddle up for Porto Santo’s most exhilarating horseback experience — designed specifically for riders who are comfortable at trot and canter and keen to stretch their legs. After a quick skills check and horse pairing, you’ll head out along coastal trails and inland tracks, where the terrain naturally invites tempo: long, elastic trots to warm up, then controlled, thrilling gallops where conditions allow.

Your guide reads the landscape (and the horses) to set a safe, satisfying rhythm, mixing open stretches with quieter sections through dunes, farmland, and black-rock viewpoints. Expect salty Atlantic air, the sound of hooves on sand, and that unbeatable surge when a good horse goes forward beneath you.

Short rests are built in for photos and water, and pace is always matched to group ability and ground conditions. Routes may vary with weather and tides to keep things safe and spectacular — exactly the way advanced rides should be.
