Hold on to your helmets folks! We’ve got a crazy fun trip all set in Tunisia – a place we ‘ve long loved for it’s hospitality, wonderful food and easy access!
Discover Bizerte from the saddle, where the rhythm of hoofbeats meets sea breeze and open sky. Horseback riding in and around Bizerte offers a rare and wonderful blend of wild nature and Mediterranean beauty— think golden beaches for long canters, rolling green hills with lovely views, quiet forests, and stretches of untouched countryside just minutes from this northernmost city, literally just across the water from Sardinia and Sicily.
Why do we love this ride? It’s a dream come true as you ride along the shoreline as waves roll in beside you or venture inland through olive groves and rural trails that reveal the slower, authentic side of northern Tunisia. Whether you’re a first-time rider or an experienced equestrian, these well-trained horses will spirit you away. AND – we have two options – one for more advanced riders and another for lesser experienced folks or those wanting shorter daily rides.
Sunrise brings cool air and soft light over the sea; sunset paint the landscape in warm golds and deep blues. This week is not just an activity—it’s a moment of connection with nature, tradition, and the timeless bond between horse and rider.
All the while you’ll relax in the intimate and well appointed riad for wonderful meals of traditional Mediterranean fare, after which you can step outside and have a lovely stroll through the city.

Itinerary
We offer two flexible programs. Program I (Beginner/Novice) provides 12 hours of relaxed, adaptable trail rides without a fixed itinerary. Program II (Intermediate/Advanced) features a "star" ride structure with 5 riding days (two full-day rides of 4-6 hours, three half-day rides of 2.5-3.5 hours) and 1 non-riding cultural excursion day.
Program II Itinerary:
Riding Day 1 (Half-Day): An introductory ride through sandy forest trails to the pristine Ain Damous Beach for a coastal canter. Return inland via an ancient Roman road, followed by an evening traditional cooking class with your hosts.
Riding Day 2 (Full-Day): Ride along the coastline to Cap Angela, the northernmost point of Africa. Enjoy long beach gallops, a scenic break with sandwiches and mint tea, and a return trip through authentic olive groves and rural villages.
Riding Day 3 (Half-Day): Explore inland Tunisia's Tuscan-like hilly landscapes. Meet local shepherds and farmers on remote paths, enjoying a slower-paced cultural ride with plenty of open stretches for trotting and cantering.
Riding Day 4 (Non-Riding Day): A rest day for horses and riders featuring a shared afternoon excursion. Options include the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said, ancient Tunis-Carthage, or the Tunis medina, concluding with a group dinner at a local restaurant.
Riding Day 5 (Full-Day): Ride to the steep, rugged cliffs of Cap Blanc, an ancient golden sandstone quarry. Continue to the impressive Phoenician/Roman caves of Grottes d’El Haouaria for a picnic, returning via energetic forest and hill trails.
Riding Day 6 (Half-Day): A final ride combining beach gallops at Ain Damous with a steep climb up the cliffs for breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. Conclude with a farewell gathering featuring tea, coffee, and traditional sweets at the ranch café.
Additional Info: Extended stays and customized cultural or outdoor activities (diving, snorkeling, hiking) for both riders and non-riding companions can be easily organized by the flexible hosts.
