An experienced guide accompanies each group—typically 4 to 10 riders—ensuring safety and enjoyment. Friendly donkeys join the group, adding a warm, family-friendly touch to the journey. Stops along the route allow riders to pause and take in sweeping panoramic views where the sea meets the hills, and to feel the steady rhythm of hooves on soft earth.
