Choose The Ride Before The Photo

Le Morne now has two distinct horse experiences. The standard horse-riding listing includes a gentle introduction in the riding area and guided beach routes. The horse-swimming listing combines a beach ride with time in the lagoon and has a higher experience threshold.

Start with your real riding level, not the image you want. The operator assesses each rider before the activity and adapts the route and pace to the rider, the group, and the conditions on the day.

Introduction And Beach Ride Options

First-time and beginner riders can choose a thirty-minute or one-hour introduction. The beach-ride formats also run for thirty minutes or one hour, with the pace confirmed only after the team checks the rider's experience.

Riding equipment is supplied. Routes and pace remain subject to weather, lagoon conditions and activity on the water, so a planned beach ride can still be adjusted on the day.

Who Horse Swimming Is For

Horse swimming is reserved for intermediate and advanced riders who pass the operator's assessment. The available formats combine an approximately thirty-minute or one-hour beach ride with about thirty minutes in the lagoon.

Bring swimwear. Beginners, riders who do not pass the level check, and anyone over the published 95 kg maximum should choose a different activity.

Check The Live Listings

Open both live cards below to compare the formats and submit a booking request. A listing with no future departures will say so rather than presenting representative times as live inventory.
