Horseback riding by the sea - choose your ride

The province of Agrigento is one of our favorite destinations for horseback riding. To see why, simply join our adventure in Montallegro—starting from the Bovo Marina seaside area, where the stables are located just 250 meters from the beach. Accompanied by an equestrian guide, you will ride along a designated “Ippovia Sicani” (Sicani Horse Trail) route that winds through the pine forest and along the beach within the Platani River Nature Reserve. In the saddle, you will reach the spectacular cliffs of Capo Bianco—a sight that rivals the famous Scala dei Turchi in beauty! It is the perfect way to explore this corner of Sicily while immersed in nature. Upon your return, a tasting of local specialties awaits you: cheeses, cured meats, bread with extra virgin olive oil, and appetizers, accompanied by wine and other alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages (depending on the chosen route).

Mi sono affidata Al maneggio di LOPERAMMARE perché volevo regalare a mio marito un esperienza a cavallo.. Inizio con il dire Il signor Anthony, una persona meravigliosa, cordiale e molto disponibile.. I suoi cavalli sono ben curati e amati. L escursione è stata veramente una bella esperienza per me e mio marito, considerando la prima volta per entrambi i nostri cavalli non hanno dato cenno di fastidio anzi molto buoni.. IO avevo Luna, meravigliosa 😍😍😍 Ci siamo rilassati, abbiamo acquisito delle informazioni importanti e imparato come comportarsi durante la passeggiata.. Consiglio vivamente per chi si trova in zona o per chi come noi da più lontano di affidarsi ad Anthony ne restereti ENTUSIASTA, oltre, potreste ammirare il paese di Bovo Marina e trascorrere del tempo con la gente del posto che è veramente cordiale.. LOPERAAMMARE, escursioni a cavallo merita di essere vissuta una e più volte!!!!

Tramite L'OperAmmare ho prenotato un'escursione mattutina in famiglia lungo la costa tra Seccagrande e Torre Salsa, oltre a un'uscita serale a cavallo a Bovo Marina, entrambe spettacolari! Anthony e la sua squadra ci hanno accolti e serviti con cura e zelo. Raccomando entrambe esperienze con loro, ne vale la pena!

We rode only about one hour after midnight (no sunset that we paid for) but still paid for two hours. We feel scammed.

Wir waren gestern zum Strandreiten bei L’Oper Ammare und hatten einen wunderschönen Ausritt. Die Route durch den Wald und anschließend am Strand entlang war einfach traumhaft. Die Pferde waren hervorragend ausgebildet, sehr lieb und haben sich die ganze Zeit über gut führen lassen. Während des gesamten zweieinhalbstündigen Ausritts gab es keinerlei Probleme und wir haben uns jederzeit sicher und wohl gefühlt. Auch als Anfänger muss man sich keine Sorgen machen – alles wurde gut erklärt und man wird während des gesamten Ausritts begleitet. Der Tourguide und auch der Besitzer waren unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und haben dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt haben. Zum Abschluss haben wir alle noch gemeinsam ein Getränk getrunken, was den Ausflug perfekt abgerundet hat. Es war ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis, das wir jedem weiterempfehlen können. Vielen Dank für diesen unvergesslichen Tag!

Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza davvero meravigliosa con l’operAmmare. L’escursione a cavallo al tramonto, immersi nella natura e lungo la spiaggia, è stata semplicemente indimenticabile. Condividere questo momento con la mia fidanzata, tra i colori del sole che cala e il rumore del mare, ha reso tutto ancora più speciale. Un ringraziamento particolare va alla guida equestre, che si è dimostrata estremamente preparata, professionale e attenta durante tutta l’escursione. Ci ha fatto sentire sempre sicuri e a nostro agio, trasmettendoci la sua passione per i cavalli e per il territorio. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza a chiunque voglia vivere un momento unico, rilassante e autentico a contatto con la natura. Torneremo sicuramente! 🐎🌅🌊

Esperienza meravigliosa. Ho regalato l’esperienza a cavallo al mio ragazzo per il suo compleanno, non potevo scegliere regalo migliore! Ci siamo trovati benissimo sin dal primo momento, gestore gentilissimo e super alla mano. Abbiamo fatto la passeggiata a cavallo dalla pineta fino alla spiaggia di Eraclea completando il tutto con un aperitivo sulla spiaggia. Super consigliato e sicuramente da rifare!
