Horse Riding Holidays in Morocco
Our Treks and Retreats
Our horse trails and riding retreats in Morocco are thoughtfully designed multi-day group experiences based along the Atlantic coast near Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki. Created for riders seeking authentic equestrian travel, each journey combines varied coastal landscapes, experienced local Amazigh guides, and well-schooled Arab and Barb horses. With scheduled dates available throughout the year, these small-group horse riding holidays are limited to a maximum of six riders, ensuring a personal, carefully matched experience. For those seeking something more tailored, our Morocco riding trails are also available on request for private groups of three or more. Whether you are looking for a multi-day horse riding trek in Morocco or a culturally immersive riding retreat near Essaouira, our experiences offer depth, connection, and considered adventure in the saddle.
Ride & Sleep Packages
Ride Morocco at your own pace
Our Ride & Sleep horse riding holidays in Morocco are ideal for solo travellers seeking a more flexible experience or those travelling with non-riding companions. Based near Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki, our ride and stay and flexible riding packages offer the freedom to enjoy Morocco at your own pace, without being tied to a large group itinerary.
You can join structured riding experiences while still having time and space to relax, explore the local area, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of rural Morocco. Daily breakfast and lunch whilst on rides are included but you are free to discover our local restaurants in the evening.
Non-riding companions take advantage of the many other activities available in Sidi Kaouki including surfing, kitesurfing, hiking and mountain biking...or they can simply relax by the pool.
