Seahorse Tour
Time: approx. 2 hours
Place: Wüste / Strand / schwimmen mit den Pferden
The focus of this tour is swimming in the Red Sea with our horses. Many of our guests describe the moment when the horse loses its footing and begins to swim with the rider, relaxed and full of joy, as magical.
The saddles are removed from the horses while they are in the water.
In the water, the horses move quite independently and aren't forced into anything. This means that if they don't feel like going into deep water, they don't have to.
By the way: just like us humans, not all horses like water – so they won’t be used for this tour at all 😉
*only bookable from April to November and dependent on temperature and wind

From spring to fall, we set off at sunrise for early risers. For those who prefer to sleep in, we offer a sunset tour. In winter, we depart at 7 a.m.
Our animals come from Hurghada, Cairo, and Luxor and were rescued from poor conditions. Mule Paula and the mares Sina and Maja were born here.
Each horse stands in its own box on sawdust, which we source directly from the El Gouna carpentry shop. However, some find the shavings "too tasty." These are then placed on straw.
Concentrated feed: two feed suppliers from Cairo
Roughage: Depending on quality and availability, different suppliers from the Nile regions
Fresh grass: comes fresh every 2-3 days from Quena, 160 km away
Fruit/Vegetables: Abu Amer Fruit and Vegetable Shop El Gouna

All of our animals are shod. Like the vet, our farrier comes from Cairo and visits us approximately every six weeks.
Depending on the season, up to 8 employees look after our animals and guests.
When making a reservation we ask for Riding experience, size and weight.This information helps us select the right four-legged companion for our guests.

For animal welfare reasons, we have a maximum weight tolerance of 90 kg.Furthermore, we do not offer horse riding trips for pregnant woman and children younger than 6 years. (For trial rides for children under 6 years, please contact us directly)
Riding equipment (helmets, chaps, riding pants, etc.) can be borrowed for free. Guests under 18 years of age are required to wear a helmet without exception. Of course, we generally recommend that everyone wear a helmet. The helmet can be removed when swimming with the horses.
All tours are accompanied by guides who are responsible for the necessary safety and of course the fun! They also capture the riding experiences on photos and videos .
We ride according to the English riding style and design our tours with a very open approach. "Almost" anything is possible, but nothing is mandatory. This means a relaxed walk is just as possible as the occasional trot and/or canter.
The tours are suitable for beginners, occasional riders, and advanced riders. Our groups are deliberately kept small to accommodate individual needs as best as possible. "Almost" anything is possible, but nothing is mandatory.
After each tour, we invite you to enjoy our famous Habiba tea (Egyptian black tea with specially cultivated mint) and/or a refreshing glass of water.
