Discover The Diverse Coastal Landscapes Of Sal Island On An Epic Two Hour Horseback Ride


This two-hour horseback adventure takes you through some of Sal’s most breathtaking and varied landscapes. You will begin by crossing the wide, expansive desert plains before reaching the impressive Salt Flats of Santa Maria. A short climb here rewards you with a stunning panoramic view over the shimmering salt pans, providing a perfect photo opportunity. The journey then continues toward the coast, where the scenery shifts from arid desert to the energetic and vibrant atmosphere of the island's famous Kite Beach.


At Kite Beach, you will witness colourful kites dancing across the sky during windy days, painting a vibrant picture of Sal’s energetic coastal life. From this point, an endless stretch of golden sand invites riders of all levels to enjoy the shoreline at their own pace. Whether you prefer a slow walk or a more exhilarating trot, the beach provides a magnificent backdrop of crashing waves and endless blue horizons, making it the highlight of the entire coastal trail experience.


As the beach trail leads you toward the base of the Serra Negra Natural Reserve, the scenery shifts once again into serene flatlands. This area is dotted with green bushes and a quiet creek, which is frequently visited by local cows, donkeys, and native Cape Verdean birds. This transition offers a peaceful contrast to the excitement of the beach, allowing you to observe the island's natural wildlife and quiet interior beauty in a calm and undisturbed environment.


The route is expertly designed to be both relaxing and adventurous, offering a perfect balance for novice, intermediate, and advanced riders alike. Whether you choose to walk, canter, or enjoy thrilling gallops by the surf, this experience promises an unforgettable way to discover the southeastern beauty of Sal Island. It is an essential activity for nature lovers and adventure seekers who want to see the island from a unique perspective while enjoying the company of well-trained horses.
