The 1-hour ride

The 1-hour ride

An hour out with a volcano in view

An hour on horseback through the open country around the yard, with views of a volcano. The easy way in, and the ride most people start with.

An hour on horseback across the open country, at a calm walk, with views of a volcano and a guide with you the whole time. It is the ride most people start with, and the one to pick if you have never sat on a horse or you are bringing children.

You are not rushed and you are not left to work it out. You meet your horse, you are told its name and what it is like, and you set off as a small group at the pace of whoever is least sure. Plenty of people do the hour on their first day and come back for the longer ride later in the trip.

What to bring

  • Sun cream and a hat; the light is strong here most of the year.
  • Water, and a phone or camera for the views.

Good to know

  • No payment now. You pay at the stables on the day.
  • Arrive about fifteen minutes early so nobody is rushed.
  • Groups are split by level, so the pace suits you and never anyone else.
  • In high wind or midday summer heat we may move your time. We'll tell you in advance, and we don't ride when it isn't safe for the horses.

Common questions

How do I book a ride?
The quickest way is WhatsApp: tap the button, tell us how many of you there are and roughly when you would like to come, and we reply to confirm the horses and the time. We ride Monday to Saturday, morning and afternoon. You can also email or call. There is no payment online.
Do I pay online when I book?
No. You book by WhatsApp or a quick message, we confirm the horses, the time and the pick-up, and you pay at the stables on the day. Nothing is charged on the website, and your place is only held once we have confirmed it.
Do you pick up from my hotel?
Tell us where you are staying when you book and we will let you know whether we can pick you up and what it costs, confirmed before you commit, not after. Lanzarote is small, so wherever you are the stables are not far.
