Mallorca is, without doubt, one of the most exotic and dreamy islands that we can find in the Balearic archipelago. Filled with a variety of landscapes, with long mountain ranges, cliffs on the edge of a translucent Mediterranean Sea and countless places covered in shades of green, it is the perfect place to go on a horseback riding tour and get to know another side of the island of Mallorca.

Riding a horse is always fun, different and so versatile when it comes to adapting it to all kinds of situations, that in Mallorca you will find the best routes to enjoy a day with a very different shade. Used to thinking of the island as an idyllic beach destination (which also), planning an excursion in an equestrian centre will make you see it in a different light.

Horseback tours are versatile plans that can be enjoyed in a fun and easy way, as most of the time no experience is necessary to join them, given that an initial training on how to ride the horses with confidence will be offered at the beginning.

With a horseback ride you can explore the most hidden corners with whomever you like, in pairs, with friends or surprising the family with a very different plan. These horses are friendly animals, which, being tamed, have a very affectionate and docile personality, so even the youngest ones can enjoy horseback riding. In general, everyone will need to be over 7 or 8 years old.

Another bonus aspect if you are looking to book a horseback tour of Mallorca is that you can choose from a variety of routes. You can ride through the vineyards, valleys, along woodland trails, along the coast or in the vicinity of the large mountains that decorate the Balearic island. And all you have to do is head for the equestrian centre you have chosen for this experience, and they will provide you with everything you will need to get on the horse. However, come with comfortable clothes and closed shoes that allow you to move freely on the animal’s back.

A horseback riding route is always a good plan and, if it is around Mallorca, even more so. It is a whole adventure that will give you precious memories along with yours, although one thing we do have to tell you: a horseback ride is a triumph between couples, so if you want to earn some extra points with your special someone, this may be the perfect intimate plan for you two.

We know that everything we have told you so far has already captivated you enough, but here we leave you with a video of what a horse ride in Mallorca would be like so that you can get an idea of the special day that awaits you.
