Beware
Travelers beware! We booked this 6 months ago, the day before, we were traveling to Greece and had no WiFi service, then weather was reporting strong morning storms. When we landed and had service I reached out to cancel but I was short of the 24 hours by 4 hours. I explained I needed to cancel due to storms and was told no, I was not with in 24 hours. I explained the situation, I mean who wants to take pictures in a storm and go horse back riding? They refused to work anything out with me. Told me the weather wasn’t going to be too bad…. They kept all the money and it’s stormed heavy the morning we were supposed to go.

Great Ride
We thoroughly enjoyed our ride. The horses are very well cared for and well behaved. The owners of the stable are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

An activity that is worth more than its value 価格以上の価値のあるアクティビティ
English version This is a must-do experience when visiting Santorini. It was my first time riding a horse, but the guide was extremely experienced and handled everything with confidence, so I felt safe from the very beginning. The route includes some uphill and downhill paths, which made the ride even more exciting and gave it a real sense of adventure. Seeing the beautiful blue sea of Santorini from the back of a horse, especially from higher ground, was absolutely breathtaking. We chose the one-hour ride, and it was truly a full hour of enjoying both the horse riding and the stunning scenery — no rushing at all. Toward the end, I honestly felt like a cowboy, standing like a hero on the mountain overlooking the island. I’ve traveled to many countries and tried many optional tours, but this experience was easily worth more than the price. It was one of the most memorable activities I’ve ever done. The staff were all wonderful — kind, professional, and attentive. Special thanks to Zsanett and Nikos for their incredibly kind and thoughtful support. One small note: unlike some photos, we did not ride along a sandy beach by the sea. If walking on the beach is important to you, I recommend confirming the route in advance. Even with that in mind, this is an experience I highly recommend. 日本語 サントリーニ島を訪れるなら、ぜひ体験してほしいアクティビティです。 私は馬に乗るのが初めてでしたが、ガイドの方がとても手慣れていて、最初から安心して楽しむことができました。 多少起伏のある山道を進むコースで、非日常感がありとても印象的でした。高台から馬の背中越しに見るサントリーニの海は、本当に息をのむ美しさです。 私たちは1時間コースを選びましたが、時間をごまかすことなく、本当に丸々1時間、馬と景色を存分に楽しませてくれます。最後はまるでカウボーイ、山の高台に立つヒーローになったような気分になりました。 これまで多くの国でさまざまなオプショナルツアーを体験してきましたが、これは間違いなく価格以上の価値がある体験です。 スタッフの皆さんもとても親切でプロフェッショナルでした。 特に、親切に対応してくださった Zsanett さんと Nikos さんに感謝します。 一点だけ注意すると、写真のように海辺の砂浜を歩くコースではありませんでした。 砂浜ライドを期待している方は、事前にコース内容を確認することをおすすめします。 それを理解した上で参加すれば、心からおすすめできる素晴らしい体験です。

Amazing experience with amazing animals and staff!
This was both our first times riding horses and the staff were amazing. The horses seemed to be treated well and be healthy and enjoyed the riding as far as I could tell. Our guide was so patient with us taking a many photos as we wanted and even did some light galloping on request. He even let my partner ride a bit more once on her own once we got back to the stable. We went from Fira so it was a bit of drive but possible via local cabs (though that is a little pricy)

It was difficult to get...
It was difficult to get to on your own (would recommend a transfer), as the last part was dirt road. Fairly short experience, and at one point we were taken on a nudist beach (we were warned a few minutes before, but not given an alternative). Overall nice experience, and they are very good with beginner horse riders.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Horse Riding Experience in Santorini start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
