Horse Riding in Djerba

📖 About This Activity

Horse riding in Djerba stays with you long after the holiday ends. Picture yourself cantering along the shoreline as the sun drops. On one side, the sea. On the other, the pine trees. No traffic. No crowds. No noise.

Treks depart from a well-established equestrian centre. These rides cross open beach with hard sand, perfect for trotting. Riders also enjoy narrow coastal paths through fragrant Aleppo pine forest. Occasionally, groups can canter across open fields. Moreover, routes are designed for your ability level.

All horses are calm and well-trained. Each one gets matched to your riding experience. Complete beginners receive a 15-minute introduction in the paddock before setting off. However, more experienced riders can request faster routes with extra gallop sections.
