Everything about this horseback riding trip in Menorca was spectacular! The staff, horses, food, hotel arrangements, etc. was incredible ! I have never had a vacation experience like this in my life and I have traveled throughout the world for decades.
I fell in love with my horse Olivetta !. She was amazing. So strong and calm but spirited when we wanted her to be. All of the horses were in excellent condition as if they were my own. You could tell how loved they all were by their owners and they were so beautiful inside and out.
So well taken care of always, it made me really happy. !I have rented horses in other parts of the world and always felt sorry for the horses thinking they were not very well loved or cared for. These horses were amazing and I wished I could have taken 1 home.
The saddle was so comfortable I actually am ordering one just like it for my own horse back in the states. Very well taken care of and beautiful tack. They also fit the horses so nicely.
I cannot be more satisfied. I already told all of my friends and family that I am going back next year ! In addition to everything else, the food was amazing.
Our guide was so attentive to detail, everything about the trip was seamless from the airport pick up to the transportation, to the hotels, to the horses, to her ability to guide and tell us about history, to arranging all of the food and accommodations. Just amazing and outstanding. I will definitely be riding with them again. She even made it a point to take many pictures of us during the day at beautiful spots and we would get them immediately before the day was done. All of her staffwere equally friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
My only suggestion is that everyone could have the amazing opportunity to ride with this group of people and horses. I honestly cannot imagine the trip going any better than it did.
Feel free to call me or contact me with any other questions or details. I just want this group to succeed so that I can return and ride with them again in the future with my family next time.
Our guide was fantastic ! She was kind, funny, very helpful and always on time. As were her staff/ helpers. She did such a great job making us feel comfortable, I always felt incredibly safe and was never concerned about security.
As someone who owns several horses myself, I can say that these horses were well taken care of, well trained, and a joy to ride. They were extremely smart horses and very adept on these challenging trails. My friends, and I loved our saddles so much we are going to try and buy the same ones for ourselves!
All of the hotels were very nice and comfortable, and safe. We enjoyed the last hotel Binigaus Vell most of all !
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a horse trip !
Cap Rando services were perfect !
Catalina and Tony are the BEST ! Our airport pickup was excellent. I never felt unsafe. The horses were phenomenal. I rode Eterna. She was a perfect match. Tack was comfortable and well cared for. Every place we stayed was better than the one before. Our lunches on the trail were over the top excellent, delicious. The settings simply sublime. Better than satisfied. Completely blown away !
Hello Didier. My daughter-in-law and I were totally seduced by Menorca! Our Menorcan horses were brave and enduring, they have the heart to please us despite the unevenness they cross. Wild landscapes and an extraordinary diversity of flora. Our equestrian guides are real professionals always looking to please you, a couple who love their horses and take care of them like their children, and they go out of their way to help you discover all the beauties of their island !
Didier Hello ! This must be the first time in 20 years of horseback riding that I put excellent in all the appreciations of your opinion sheet on horseback riding in Menorca !!!! For information, this is one of the rare treks where it is possible to ride on horseback for 5 days by the sea. The horses are incredibly good and generous, Menorca is one of the Top Ten destination !! and I am extremely picky !!! Note that the northern part of the trail has passages as difficult as the GR 20 in Corsica... If the horses weren't as good, you wouldn't have to send riders at low levels... The quality of the hotels is incredible, very nice quality of meals too !!!! I managed to visit 2 times a bit very pretty Ciutadella !!! The icing on the cake !!! Happy season to the whole team, Best regards, Hubert.
