HORSE RIDING TOUR GRAN CANARIA

The equestrian center has been running for more than 20 years. Jose’s professional team of riders will aid you during your riding adventure in Spain. The riding center is located in the “El Salobre” area close to the Salobre Golf resort. The extensive facilities of this riding school also include an exterior coffee area in which you can have a snack or a coffee.

Once at the riding center, the team will provide you with the necessary equipment and helmet. Later on, the horses will be taken out of the stables and led to the arena to get you on your saddle. Here you’ll begin the journey up the mountains. During the trek, you’ll make some stops to take some photos of the panorama. On one side, you’ll have the magnificent views of the Maspalomas Dunes natural reserve, the Atlantic ocean and on the other side, you’ll have the ravines and mountains of Gran Canaria.

The horseback riding tour is suitable for all levels.

After you get back at the horse camp, for an additional fee, you can have a photographic record of the day.
