What to expect

Volcanic trail horse riding in Gran Canaria

Ride through Gran Canaria’s volcanic landscapes on a small-group outdoor excursion that adapts to different experience levels. You choose between a 1-hour, 1.5-hour, or 2-hour horse riding excursion, each offering a different pace and feel on the same distinctive terrain.

Features

You follow your expert guide along volcanic Gran Canaria landscapes, riding on calm, trained horses that are matched to your level so both beginners and experienced riders can enjoy the route.

Safety equipment is provided, including helmets for every rider and safety vests for young riders, with suitable horse riding clothing and footwear required throughout the excursion.

Round-trip transfers are included according to your selection, with either hotel pickup and drop-off or city centre transfers arranged before you arrive at the stables.

A trot and gallop session is available on the 2-hour rides for experienced riders, while the 1-hour group rides focus on a relaxed pace where the riders' level of experience does not matter.

If you choose the 1.5-hour sunset ride option, you experience a sunset ride through the volcanic trails, in a mixed-level group where inexperienced riders enjoy the scenery and more experienced riders can enjoy trotting and cantering.

Overall duration options are 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2 hours, so you can select a shorter first contact with horses or a longer outing that includes trotting and galloping.
