Sunrise Horseback Ride (Exclusive Private Tour)

While the island is still asleep and the sky is lit by the first light of morning, Carolina Ranch opens its gates for a rare, intimate and deeply moving experience.

The sunrise horseback ride is designed for those who want to explore the island from a completely different perspective, far from the crowds, the noise and the rush of everyday life.

The ride is private and reserved exclusively for the people in your booking. Whether there are two of you or a larger group, no other participants will be added: it will be just you, accompanied by our guides.

We set off in silence, when night has not yet given way to day. On our horses we follow the trails that lead towards the coast as the sky slowly begins to change colour.

Along the way, twilight gives way to the first shades of dawn, the sea lights up on the horizon and nature wakes up all around. The sound of hooves, the scent of the Mediterranean scrub and your horse’s breathing accompany every step.

As the ride continues, we admire the colours of the sunrise from the saddle, surrounded by the island’s striking views and the stillness of the morning.

An intimate, authentic experience to share with someone special, with friends or with family, in the exclusivity of a ride dedicated only to you.

It costs €150 per person, with a minimum booking of two people. The tour is reserved for your group for the whole experience.

Most of the horses at our Ranch are Quarter Horses, one of the breeds most used for western riding, and the dress code recalls the classic cowboy look: jeans, western boots, shirt and hat.

Western riding is based on training that gets the horse used to being guided without constant leg pressure or continuous contact with the bit. This allows even first-time riders to guide it with simple commands, following the guides’ instructions.

The care we put into training our horses and our deep knowledge of herd behaviour allow us to offer unforgettable experiences to anyone who wants to try horseback riding. On this ride, your private group will be accompanied by two experienced guides.

The western saddle is especially suited to long rides: it was designed to give comfort and stability to those who, like cowboys, spent most of the day in the saddle.
