From Djerba: 1.5-hour Horse Ride – Blue Lagoon, Salt Lake, Olive Groves & Sunset
About this tour
Without a doubt, the most requested ride in Djerba – especially by families with children. Discover the island of Djerba La Douce on horseback during an unforgettable and exotic experience. We have selected competent guides and very good horses – Barbs, Arabian Thoroughbreds, and Arabian Barbs. All are "whole" (intact), very calm, and "not afraid of anything" – which is very pleasant and allows you to fully enjoy your walks off the beaten track in a friendly atmosphere. Get away from hotels and crowds and embrace the wild nature of the island. Discover sandy tracks on horseback, admire landscapes for 1.5 hours at the pace of your horse friend, and watch a unique sunset (if you choose the 5:00 p.m. departure). The ride takes you between land and sea: cross fields of olive trees, palm trees, and prickly pears, meet local shepherds with their herds of goats or sheep, head to the blue lagoon of Djerba, and return by crossing a nearby salt lake. This is an organized, collective ride with a guide to discover the wild nature of Djerba.
