Made for real moments

More than a ride. A memory of Boa Vista.

We keep the groups personal, choose the right horse for every rider and take time to make you feel comfortable before the tour begins.

Our routes lead away from busy streets and into the landscape that makes Boa Vista so special: pale dunes, wide horizons, coastal paths and the Atlantic at your side. The pace always depends on the ability of the riders, the horses and the conditions of the day.

Local knowledge makes every ride better.

Boa Vista Horse Riding has been taking guests into the island landscape for more than eight years. Sidnei and his team know the routes, the changing sand, the wind and — most importantly — every horse in their care. That experience allows them to choose the right horse and the right pace for each guest.

The team works with beginners, confident leisure riders and experienced riders who want a faster tour. Guides speak several languages and give clear instructions before and during the ride. The stable is officially licensed and is regularly checked by established travel partners.

“The best tour is the one where the rider feels safe, the horse feels understood and both can enjoy the landscape together.”
