What makes it unique?

Horseback riding in De Haan is special because it offers the opportunity to explore the beautiful beach and protected dunes in a peaceful and authentic way. The rhythm of the horse and the sounds of the ocean create a tranquil, meditative experience that is hard to match. As you ride along the coast, you can truly experience the sense of freedom and space, something only possible in this beautiful location.

The experience

The tour often begins in the early morning or just before sunset, when the sky and beach are at their most serene. The routes take you through the vast dunes and along the quiet sandy beach, where you can feel the wind in your hair and breathe in the sea air. During the ride, you can experience the beauty of nature in its purest form, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Who is it suitable for?

This activity is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. Local riding schools offer guided rides, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings in complete safety, regardless of your riding experience. Families, couples, or groups of friends can enjoy a ride together, making it a great way to spend time together and enjoy nature at the same time.

Tip:

Combine your ride with a picnic on the beach or in the dunes. Afterward, relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings, listening to the sound of the waves in the background.
