“This excursion was a highlight of our honeymoon! Such a unique and fun way to do sightseeing and spend time in nature. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and welcoming. He made sure we were comfortable and confident as first time riders. The horses were very well behaved. We learned not only how to ride but also about the local culture and environment. The wine and cheese snack board at the end was the perfect way to cap it off- a thoughtfully-chosen selection of the best regional products.

He is an archaeologist & historian who shares so much about the Island’s history, culture and people. And he has very strong mana – ask him when you see him. This is the most memorable…”
