About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Adventurer4444030 contributionsThis trip was a dream ….I left Morocco a week ago and I am already planning my return. From start to finish , this trip really was a dream . Mohammad did a fantastic job pairing me up with a horse that I was happy and comfortable with . We trekked through beautiful scenery and galloped across empty beaches . The accommodation and food were top class and we looked forward to every meal . Mohammad , Ayoub , Said and the rest of the crew were such fun to be around , attentive and encouraging. I feel they taught me a lot throughout the trek and I look forward to the next trip .Written 2 December 2024
- F5758NPsimonw0 contributionsExceptional Trek + Sunset RidesI couldn't recommend Cheval Essaouira enough -- this was my second trek, and I absolutely loved every minute with Mohammad's team and my frriends -- from the spectacular riding, sense of freedom and phenomenal horses, to the breakfast, lunches and supper, and great accommodation and company. Mohammed and his team are simply the best -- attentive, accommodating and kind. The sunset rides are also amazing!! Don't walk; run to book your trip :)Written 2 December 2024
- louisetC9216XU0 contributionsMohammed the Moroccan cowboy đź¤This is my second visit to cheval, what a wonderful experience, Mohammed and his team are absolutely incredible, nothing is ever too much, can’t wait to come back again! The horses are awesome, and the trek we did for 3 days was amazing, we were so lucky to see the best sights, see you soon guys xxWritten 1 December 2024
- 994maddya0 contributionsDream come trueI had the most incredible time. I travelled there in May and did three local rides, one of which at sunset. On my first visit there Mohammed and my guide Tarik were great at matching my experience level with the right horse and I had so much fun galloping on the beach. The local guides (Tarik, Morad) took some incredible photos and videos including while galloping! On the trek, the Mohammed and Ayoub also took lots of amazing photos including with a drone. I have since been traveling regularly back to Morocco to ride with Cheval Essaouira, on their local rides and treks. I have recommended it to lots of my horse riding friends! The atmosphere is so fun, welcoming, and the horses very healthy and carefully looked after and trained. I would not hesitate to recommend it, you won’t regret it!Written 1 December 2024
- jasminf8730 contributionsMagical experienceThank you so much to Mohamed and the whole team at cheval essaouira - your care for animals and people make for a beautiful experience. Had an unforgettable trek across sand dunes by the beach, below gorgeous sunsets, whilst being catered the best Moroccan food. Highly highly recommend!!Written 1 December 2024
- M4078BEgemmap0 contributionsMaking dreams come true đź’«I decided to go solo on a trip that had been on my bucket list for a long time. Cheval Essaouira didn’t disappoint. Mohamed and his team were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. His horses are beautiful and well trained. The majority of us on the trip were experienced riders but there were a few that were beginner level and Mohamed and his team managed the different experience levels well. I felt very safe and in capable hands. The food was delicious and the accommodation was comfortable. A dip in the pool after a long day riding was lovely. Ahead of my trip I booked a sunset photo/video shoot on the beach in addition to the trek. My overall experience was incredible, galloping along the beach at sunset is a memory I’ll never forget. Thank you for making dreams come true Mohamed đź¤Written 1 December 2024
- clairebM3933OL0 contributionsExperience of a lifetimeI’ve just got back from the best trip I’ve ever done, I did 3 days riding and 2 nights in the chalet. The horses were well cared for and still had plenty of energy at the end of 3 days, we were served freshly cooked food 3 times a day which tasted amazing. We rode on the beach and through the desert and got incredible pictures and videos. I can 100% recommend this trip and I hope to go back soon.Written 30 November 2024

Can't wait to see you all again. Thank you for doing this trip so unforgettable.Written 1 September 2024
- mstard0 contributionsJust blissI didn't want to leave a review as I wanted to keep cheval essaouira my little secret. This is my second solo trip . I went on a 3 day trek. Met a great group of people. Mohammed is a great horse men the way he has his horses trained is fantastic. Just even to watch him with his horse is fantastic. Would be fantastic if they could line up the uk stansted flight with the treks. So flights means I have to stay a full week. Means I'd come more . But in the medina in essaouira is so nice . To walk around the markets etc. the people of Morocco are very special. As a female on her own I felt so safe . People were very respectful. On your Trek the food is unbelievable. I'm very picky but I tired new things and loved everything. It's fresh food cooked everyday. I was able to feel so free almost like a kid again. It's a must trip for any horse people . I will see you guys again xxWritten 28 August 2024

Thank you Mohammad and team - Wonderful and exciting 2 hour ride along endless sandy beach, then through dunes and brush, around interesting ancient palace, and back to watch glorious colours of sunset through horse's ears... plus a paddle into the sea.
Horses were all well trained calm stallions, responsive to leg and rein; they were fit and well looked after, and fast!! Our 4? escorts managed the ride well with the mixed skills. It was a fantastic experience - Would definitely recommend this operator after I looked at websites of several. Its a horsy area!

This was a dream come true! Been waiting to horse back ride on the beach during a sunset for years ever since I saw a video about tourism in Morocco. This was well organized, we had a group of about 8, plus 3 guides. They kept in communication immediately after booking and asked about our levels of experience beforehand. My Wife was a beginner and was given a very calm horse, she loved the stroll around the beach. I was given a slightly more active horse, I had never galloped before but they taught me how on the go and I was able to feel the power and wind around me which is now a core memory! We were riding for exactly 2 hours (5-7pm), 1 hour getting to and back from the beach in dune regions, and then 1 hour on the actual beach. I am thankful to the Cheval Essaouria team for providing this extremely fun experience and even capturing key moments by taking pictures and videos of us. Thank you, can’t wait to do it again the next time I’m in Morocco!

I had the most amazing, solo horse riding experience with Soufian, Morad and Kati. They were very patient and friendly with me. I was in awe of their knowledge of horses and horse riding. With their help, I managed to trot and gallop for the first time ever! I loved the experience and I recommend anyone looking to horse ride (at any level) to book with them!

We booked a photoshoot the night before we went on the three day trek. Communication to book this was very easy, response time to any questions was very quick and helpful. On arrival to the stables please be aware of the walk from the main road, very steep hill to climb and descend the other side to reach the stables. Staff were friendly on arrival. We were paired up with our horses but no questions were asked about our ability or preferences/dislikes. Luckily we were all happy once we mounted and to be honest the horses are well behaved and no their job. Short 10 minute ride and your on the beach. We were asked what we wanted from the shoot but weren’t sure so left this up to them. We we’re probably out for an hour half maybe two hours before heading back. On the way back we were told the photos would be checked and edited that night, no explanation as to how we would access or receive these so we just assumed they would get emailed over….they didn’t! Luckily we were joining the three day trek the day after so was able to ask for them (please see trek review) Make sure you have contact details to arrange a taxi or similar back to your accommodation after, the street is quite remote and the bar was closed (maybe due to Ramadan) so we were literally stood in the middle of nowhere, 3km from our hotel. We managed to stop a local taxi passing by, who promised to go back for the other two girls we’d met. He didn’t and they were stood in the dark alone waiting until two local ladies stopped to check they were ok and kindly drove them back. All in all it was a good experience and I am glad we did it.

Thanks for your review. We apologize if the photo/video transfer process felt a little unorganized to you. However, we wanted to reassure you that we do have a process in place. During the treks, most guests are keen to get the day’s footage as soon as possible so, to keep everyone happy, we tend to hand over the guide’s phone in the evening so that everyone can AirDrop their videos and photos onto their own phones. For those who don’t transfer their videos during the trek, and those without iPhones, we send them a WeTransfer link after the trek. For your shoot, the process was the same: we sent you a WeTransfer link as soon as possible after the experience. However, as we all went on a trek together the following morning after your shoot, we were only able to send your link the day after the trek. We hope you understand we are transferring large amounts of content and relying on a solid internet connection which we didn’t have during the trek. Saying all that, we hear your feedback and will make sure the photo/video transfer process is well explained to our guests to avoid any confusion. And we’re very happy to hear you had a lovely experience and enjoyed your time with us!

Premise: neither me nor my girlfriend had ever been on a horse…
Yet the experience lived among the forest, sand dunes and beach of Essaouira was incredible. The guide, a super nice guy, saw in us the desire to face the adventure 100% and together we walked, trotted and galloped at sunset for a good two hours.
Thanks again!

After searching hard to find the right place to go riding I’m so pleased I chose Cheval Essaouira! The horses are healthy and well trained and the guides are friendly and knowledgeable and wow do they take great photos and videos! They match you with a horse suited for your skill level and it’s an absolutely beautiful ride on the beach. There were 3 of us and one person had never ridden and he was looked after and it didn’t affect my ride. I had opportunities to trip and canter along the beach. Don’t hesitate to book with this company, you’ll love it!

The guys at the ranch were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The horses were amazing. They taught us the basic and we were off. More than 2 hours of riding in nature, on the beach along the sea at sunset. They also took pictures and videos. I suggest wearing a hoodie as it gets cold at sunset(plus the wind). An experience I won't forget, I really recommend it!!
