Von insgesamt drei gebuchten Aktivitäten in Marsa Alam war diese mit Abstand die Schönste! Wir wurden schon anderthalb Stunden vor dem vereinbarten Termin abgeholt, dafür ging es nach einem kurzen Gespräch zu unseren Reiterfahrungen aber auch direkt los. Die Pferde waren bereits gesattelt, und es gab keine Wartezeit. Ich durfte Sara reiten, eine wunderbar ruhige und liebe Stute. Mein Mann hat mit Shakira ein etwas zügigeres Pferd bekommen, welches aber auch sehr fein auf seine Hilfen reagierte. Insgesamt waren wir nur zu dritt, hatten aber drei Guides dabei, die sehr sehr schöne Fotos und Videos gemacht haben. In allen drei Gangarten ging es durch die Wüste und ans Meer, echt ein Traum für alle pferdebegeisterten. Auch ein Ritt durchs Wasser war dabei. Etwas mehr Kommunikation mit den Guides und wenn das Foto Quad nicht durchgehend mitgefahren wäre, wäre wünschenswert gewesen, aber insgesamt war es eine tolle und wunderschöne Erfahrung, die ich genauso wieder buchen würde. Vielen Dank

Atrakcją fajna aczkolwiek nie było żadnej jazdy po morzu , oraz całą atrakcją to nie jazda tylko spacer na koniu. Konie super wyszkolone nie trzeba nawet nic umieć ale gdy ktoś chce pojeździć to się nie da.

Super przeżycie! Od samego początku czułyśmy się bezpiecznie i zaopiekowane. Konie były bardzo spokojne i świetnie reagowały na polecenia przewodnika, co jest idealne nawet dla początkujących jeźdźców. Dla chętnych było też sporo galopu, więc każdy mógł znaleźć coś dla siebie. Widoki przepiękne, a Pan przewodnik zrobił nam fantastyczne zdjęcia i filmiki – najlepsza pamiątka, jaką mogłyśmy sobie wymarzyć. Z całego serca polecamy! 🐎✨

Wir sind superpünklich abgeholt worden und wurden sicher zum Stall gebracht. Da hat man uns sehr herzlich empfangen und nach unseren Reitkenntnissen befragt. Dann ging es auch schon los. Erst ein bisschen durch die Wüste im Schritt, dann in den Trab und schließlich im Gallop. Alles begleitet und mit meinem Handy von Mohammad (20 Jahr) gefilmt. Dann ging es Richtung Strand und ab ins Wasser! Von sowas hab ich immer geträumt ... sooooo schön. Schritt im Wasser, Gallop am Strand ... ein Traum. Es ging viel zu schnell zu Ende! Vielen Dank für dieses einzigartige Erlebnis!
