Galloping Along Alcudia Bay: An Unforgettable 3-Hour Beach and Mountain Ride | Guided Tour | Hiking

Located on the northern tip of Mallorca in the scenic town of Alcúdia, this unique 3-hour horseback riding adventure combines mountain views with coastal thrills in a way few experiences do. Beginning at Ranxo Ses Roques, riders aged 10 and above saddle up for a guided ascent up Mount Sant Martí. Known for its rugged, Mediterranean terrain and sweeping panoramas, the mountain offers stunning vistas encompassing both Alcúdia and Pollensa Bays—two luminous blue expanses framed by rolling coastline and occasional sailboats dotting the horizon. The ride presents a chance to connect intimately with the natural beauty that defines this part of the Balearic Islands. As the trail crests the summit, riders pause to drink in the expansive views that stretch out under wide, open skies. From here, the journey transitions from elevated ridges to the edge of the shore, leading riders down to the golden sands of Alcúdia Beach. This stretch of coastline, renowned for its clean, calm waters and dramatic shoreline cliffs, becomes a playground for the horses and riders alike, where the thrill of galloping along the surf meets the refreshing sea breeze. The juxtaposition of mountain and sea make this excursion particularly special, offering a diverse riding experience seldom found on Mediterranean islands. Ranxo Ses Roques provides all necessary equipment, including certified helmets and expert guides who ensure safety and share local knowledge throughout the tour. Guests should come prepared with long pants and riding boots or sturdy sneakers, plus a camera or mobile phone to capture lasting memories. The ride suits riders with previous equestrian experience, and the age and weight restrictions ensure safety for all participants. Alcúdia itself is a vibrant cultural hub with a rich history dating to Roman times, reflected in its medieval walls and cobblestone streets. After your ride, spend some time exploring the town’s cafes, historic sites, or nearby natural parks. This horseback adventure offers not only exercise and excitement but also a rare chance to experience Mallorca’s varied landscape—from the earthy mountain trails to the pristine beach coastline—in a single outing.
