We had a great time at Club Hippique, I highly recommend this experience. Tom and Charlie were great guides and catered to our levels of riding experience. Swimming with the horses was a highlight! We did the 3 hour tour with lunch included and enjoyed a nice bbq lunch and swim at their beautiful beach. Thank you again to the club hippique team

The 4 of us had a fantastic time here at the park. We were all beginners on a holiday from Australia and were looked after immensely. A special thanks to WIlly Charlie and Tom for making us feel so safe and pointing out some interesting things along the way - especially the wild chillies!

My husband and I spent a wonderful afternoon riding at Club Hippique. The horses were in good condition, the gear a little rough but functional and the riding extraordinary. Our guide Roy was relaxed, informative and had a lovely sense of humour. Swimming the horses was an absolute highlight. I highly recommend this unique experience.

If there's a horse to ride, I'll be there! Even having my own horse at home does not stop me taking every opportunity to ride, so of course I booked the cruise excursion to Club Hippique Adventure park. I had a great first impression and was happy to see the horses looked so healthy and well cared for. I seemed to be the soul experienced rider in the group, so it was arranged for me to branch off from the main group, with John, my lovely guide, so we could do a bit of trotting and cantering. My horse's name was Eclipse and he (I'm assuming he, as I didn't look and my photos don't show the evidence) gave a lovely ride and had a lovely nature. I would have been content to just amble along with the rest of the group, but I have to say, it greatly impressed me that the staff of Club Hippique went out of their way to ensure I had a great ride, at my own level. I thoroughly enjoyed my ride and John, my host, gave me an interesting commentary about the property, island, flora and fauna, in a friendly, informal way. We joined the others on a hill, to admire the view and get some photos, of which John took a couple of me, with my camera. When we returned to the start, John unsaddled Eclipse and allowed me to ride him into the water for a cool down. I can't say enough good things about my time there. I hope they will continue to operate at Port Vila for a long time to come, because I'll definitely be looking them up for another ride next time and there WILL be a next time, because not only was the horse riding tour the highlight, but the whole Island was our favourite (my son and hubby went ATVing).
Thank you John. I truly appreciate the great service you provided and thank you Eclipse, you are a lovely horse and I much appreciate the ride.
For additional advice to people going horse riding...I would advise to wear long tight fitting pants and boots or shoes with a small heel and a long sleeve shirt to keep the sun off. I took my boots along in a back pack, so I wouldn't be too hot on the journey to and from the venue. Long boots are great for preventing calf pinching, that you can sometimes get, from the stirrup straps.

the best horse riding we have experienced in years, well looked after healthy horses, well behaved and trained. The guides looked after us with professionalism and respect. Scenery was spectacular and the bareback ride in the ocean was an experience we will be back for!

This was without doubt the experience of a lifetime (although we will be back!). Cannot recommend highly enough - the horses are beautiful and the tour was like riding in paradise. But by far the highlight was swimming with the horses at the end which they and we loved. If you are staying near Port Vila then you simply cannot leave the island without doing a riding tour here. Heidee and the staff are just so lovely.

I was very excited for this and my fiancé was quite nervous as he has not really ridden a horse before. I believe our tour guide was John and he was friendly and talkative on the ride and made sure all our stirrups were adjusted to our liking. The horses knew where they were going and mine was very keen to be in the lead. He would not stop for me when I pulled his reins. My fiancé’s horse was a bit lazy which was a shame because as he gained confidence he wanted to go for a bit of a trot with me but his horse refused. My horse was very disobedient and would not really turn around to wait for my fiancé. But I still enjoyed myself. The scenery was gorgeous and John set us up for some very nice photos Galway through the ride. The only thing that could have made it perfect was a lot more comfortable saddle. They were very hard and we were both very sore afterwards and the day after was tough. The helmets also need an update but we enjoyed ourselves.

First of all: the horses which I saw in the paddocks all looked healthy and were in good form. I did not see any injuries from saddles sitting wrong or any mistreatment.
The guides (1in the front and 1 in the rear) were friendly and helpful and volunteered information on the fauna seen on the ride.
The horses were perfectly chosen for the individual’s riding experience and the guide also took note of those who knew how to ride and ventured off with us cantering along the way.
The swim with the horse in the lagoon at the end was brilliant!
Had a lot of fun, enjoyed the scenery and the swim. Definitely worth the money!

Can't thank the staff enough, our morning ride catered for the beginners to the advanced rider. The horses were clearly well loved and looked after. The facilities are adequate and being able to take the horses swimming bareback was amazing. Huge thanks to Lucy for shouting our son a soda and a pack of chips, silly us had only only brought cfp as cash 🤔🙄

We had a lovely time doing the Rainforest Trail Ride. Guides were very professional and the horses are very well trained and therefore very safe. It was my 11-year-old boy first ride and he loved it. I'm a regular rider and equally loved it especially the swim in the lagoon bareback, such a special moment!
