About this experience

Horseback Riding in Grand Anse is a guided equestrian trail activity on the white-sand beach of Grand Anse, Praslin, Seychelles. Riders follow a set route along the shoreline and through the adjacent coastal vegetation, with horses matched to each participant's skill level. The ride operates in small groups and is led by a local guide who provides safety instructions before departure.

What to expect

Ride lasts approximately 60 minutes, including a 10-minute safety briefing and helmet fitting before mounting.
Each rider is assigned a trained horse and a guide walks alongside or rides ahead, depending on group ability.
The route covers roughly 3 kilometres of flat beach sand, passing the Grand Anse jetty and the Takamaka trees at the trail's edge.
Suitable for first-time riders and children aged 8 and above, with ponies available for riders under 12.
The tour includes a saddle bag for carrying a water bottle and a small camera, but no riding boots are provided, so closed-toe shoes are required.
