The 4 Best Horse Riding in Mauritius

1.Horseback riding on the beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 91 reviews · 1 hour · from $110Our pick

At Legasea Stables, you first visit the animal sanctuary, then ride for one hour at a walk along Belle Mare beach. A guide accompanies your small group of up to four, with helmets provided. The horses suit beginners, but this is a calm beach ride, not a trotting, galloping, or swimming session.

“It was an absolutely wonderful experience! I rode a horse named Picasso, who was extremely gentle, clean, and very sweet. Riding along the beach was truly magical and something I will never forget. The guide was very kind and professional, and he also took beautiful, high-quality photos of me with the horse. I am more than satisfied and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mauritius.”

2.Mauritius Horse Riding at Riambel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · from $125

Ride along Riambel Beach in southern Mauritius with a professional guide, choosing a daytime or late-afternoon outing. You receive a safety briefing, helmet, and riding guidance before following the shoreline for about an hour. No experience is needed, but the ride stays on the beach and does not include entering the sea. Maximum rider weight is 95kg.

“A bit underwhelming. Thought we’d get to go in the water - but that didn’t happen. Also, did ask to do the activity during sunset, was asked to come a lot earlier than sunset, therefore that didn’t happen. The organisers are very nice, experience just didn’t live up to my expectations is all.”

At Centre Equestre de Riambel, you ride rescued horses along a nearly untouched beach with English- or French-speaking staff. Your horse and pace are matched to your experience. Beginners walk with close support, while confident riders may trot, canter, and ride into the sea. Sunset departures are available, and groups are limited to seven.

“I had an unforgettable beach ride in Riambel with Steve. It was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. I had the pleasure of riding the wonderful horse Etoile, and I enjoyed every moment. I felt very well taken care of the entire time. Before we started, Steve asked about my riding experience and then chose Etoile for me. He accompanied me on horseback while a colleague walked along with us, so I always felt completely safe. Because of my experience, I was able to trot and even gallop. Galloping along the beach and riding through the water was such a magical experience. I can highly recommend this activity. The staff…”
