This was one of my mother's favourite parts of our whole trip - at 83 this was her first time on a camel and she loved it! We went around dusk and had the beach to ourselves which was fabulous. We did an hour's session camel riding - great value for money - roughly £25 for the two of us.... More

This trip was the best experience in my life!! Everybody should experience a trip like this and see the best side of Marokko. An excellent way to travel through Marokko and see the great nature with friends and amazing people. The guide Mohammed was very good and took really care of us and helped us all hour of the day....

Before arriving to Marocco we talked s lot about our impending holidays on horse back and found it difficult to imagine how it would be.....It was found to be much greater than we had ever imagined. We enjoyed every moment - beauteful and very skilled horses, great people, an ever so nice guide etc. Go for it....! More

We never felt so well received in a country. We went on the Berber ride between Essaouira and Agadir. From day one we felt like queens of Saba on our wonderful horses. The guide and his helpers did a great job making us feel completely at home in the magnificent landscape. They did their utmost to make it an unforgetable... More

We visited Essaouira over Easter and went on a 2 hour beach ride. The ranch is lovely and clean and all the horses well cared for. The people who run the place are very experienced and Mohammed , the one in charge , is friendly and helpful. All the horses are well behaved and a joy to ride. The beach... More

She was in no condition to do anything and this lasted for 2 days. When I informed the Ranch Diabat about this and that unfortunately we could... More

Your opinion was quick to make us the bad pub, not fast enough that you’re no answer to several calls and emails from us, before and after your booking. One question: in Switzerland the reservation rules are fairly free you can cancel at the last minute without charge? Your concept of marketing has for object no sense of engagement to... More

This was actually my young adult daughter & i in January of 2011. These people were fabulous to work with, very flexible, wanting us to have a great time which we definitely did! We rode though a variety of landscapes and had lunch on a cliff, high above the ocean. I would highly recommend this excursion. It was worth every... More

I had a great beach ride with Mohammed, fulfilling an ambition to gallop an Arab stallion down a beach! The ranch was spotless and the horses well looked after. I really recommend this place to anyone who wants a fun ride and cares about the welfare of the horses. They also lent me riding boots and a riding helmet as... More

Beautiful set up in Diabat 3 Ks from Essaouira. Great welcome on new year's day and a day trek through the countryside & back via the spectacular strand. Second trek was mostly coastal with magnificant vistas inland and out to sea. The last day trek (sadly) was mix of beach, dunes and country. I road West on all three outings... More
