Each ride covers approximately 2 kilometres of beach, from the northern rocks to the southern pier area.
A helmet and a lead rope handler accompany every rider; beginners ride at walking pace, while experienced riders can trot on request.
The route passes the Sairee Beach viewpoint and the anchored fishing boats, with the island's coral reef visible in clear water.
