I agree with one of the previous reviews, if you have ridden before and want more than a very slow walk, I would book somewhere else. This horse trek is suitable for complete beginners. My group consisted of only me and another rider + 2 guides. Our 2h ride (as stated in the brochure) was more like 1,5h on the horse back, and the ride on the beach was more of a slow walk to the beach and back. We didn't even reach the edge of the water (due to low tide and soft sand). Very underwhelming experience. The guides were nice but not very talkative. Me and the other customer felt the same way about that, as usually when doing activities the guides are very engaging, especially in such a small group. Positives are: The horses were nice and we did get some good photos down at the beach! EDIT (answer): As I wrote in my review, I only booked after looking at the printed brochure. In this it does not say anything about a safety briefing, but rather "2h ride on the beach, including a lesson". A "lesson" for me is on the horse back, not how to hold the reigns on the ground. It also doesn't say anything of only walking during the trek, this is something you should add to avoid more disappointed customers. Or at least say in person before the trek. It is silly to have a 25 minute safety briefing for a group of 2 where both riders has ridden before, if the trek is just going to be a sleepy walk.
