HORSE RIDING
ADVENTURES

Discover the beautiful coast of South Istria riding a horse

The beauty of horse riding

Horse riding provides you with an incredible combination of adventure, excitement and relaxation. The freedom you feel and the connection you establish with this magnificent animal while riding through the gorgeous landscapes of southern Istria is something you will never forget. You just have to choose the route and let us and our horses take care of the rest.

Horse riding is already a special experience in itself, but swimming with horses almost seems surreal. Come and swim with these gentle giants in the crystal clear water. You don’t need to be an experienced rider in order to join us on one of our horse riding tours. We would love to provide you with this amazing experience, regardless of your level of riding skills.

The route leads us through unspoiled nature with a wonderful view of the sea and the islands, and we arrive at cap Marlera, at the very south of Istria, boasting a lighthouse built in 1882. With only 25 meters separating it from the sea, its secluded position reminds us that we are standing on the very edge of the Istrian peninsula, while an amazing view of the surrounding islets, the islands of Cres and Lošinj, as well as the mountain of Velebit in the background, stretches before us. This is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy nature’s peace and beauty and feel as if they were all alone in their little corner of paradise. After a photo session we return to the ranch, and on the way back, more experienced riders will be able to ride at a trot or gallop.

We bring you the unique experience of swimming in the sea on horseback. The tour includes riding through the forests and meadows for around 1 hour and 15 minutes, until we reach the sea. After we’ve arrived at the pebble beach, we unsaddle some horses and go for a swim with them. The ride back to the ranch will again take us around 1 hour and 15 minutes, and we will mostly ride along the coast. You can put all your beach gear, as well as your camera, water and food, in a backpack which we will transport to the beach, so your ride is as comfortable as it gets. This tour is suitable for experienced riders and beginners; the more experienced ones will be able to ride at a trot and gallop on certain parts of the route.

The tour takes place every day from 8 a.m., except on Sundays, between the end of June and mid-September. Whether the tours will be held on a given day depends on the weather, the air and water temperature, as well as on the wind and the waves.
