★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 349 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $67

Ride from El Salobre with a small group of up to 12 people, guided at a pace suited to your ability. You’ll see Maspalomas and its famous dunes from horseback, with helmets provided, optional hotel pickup, and a calm one-hour route for beginners or families.

The two young women who were guiding communicated well and made sure everyone was happy and knew what they should be doing. Beautiful scenery. Even though we were out for a full hour, I wish we’d done the two-hour trip as it was so good.”
