The experience
The ride starts in Kakapetra and follows paths that wind through the Parian countryside, passing traditional settlements and open landscape before reaching the vantage point for sunset. You'll be riding at a leisurely pace under the guidance of a knowledgeable local, so the experience works whether you've ridden before or you're getting on a horse for the first time. The whole outing takes 1.5 hours, and you arrive 20 minutes early to meet the horse and get fitted with a helmet.
Wear jeans and closed shoes, never flip-flops, for safety and comfort during the ride. The operator provides helmets. There is a weight limit of 110 kg per rider, and riders must be between 13 and 65 years old. The exact start time shifts with the season and will be confirmed once your booking is locked in, so you'll know the precise hour when you're ready to head to Kakapetra.
