The horse riding tour on Sal Island, Cabo Verde, lasts between one and two hours. Participants meet a driver at their hotel in Santa Maria for a transfer to the stables located in the Botanical Gardens Viveiro. At the riding center, lockers are available for personal belongings and CE-certified helmets are provided, which must be worn during the ride. Groups are limited to eight riders and led by several guides on horseback, maintaining a ratio of one guide per two riders to match each rider’s skill level. The ride begins and ends at the stables, where riders can meet and get familiar with the horses before starting. The route follows trails along the white sandy beaches and passes through the Salt Mines of Santa Maria. Riders choosing the longer 1.5 or 2-hour options continue beyond the salt flats toward Kite Beach. Experienced riders may gallop along the surf, while beginners or those preferring a slower pace ride at a walking gait with guidance from the instructors. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, use of helmets, bum bags, lockers, insurance, local taxes, and a safety briefing before the ride. Gratuities are not included.
