Pacific Horseback Ride on Beach and Sand Dunes

Posted By : Ameerudeen N
The tour was amazing! Sean had so much knowledge of the area. The private horse back riding is definitely a must do if you want to enjoy the landscape of the sand dunes, beaches, forests and the river. The best part, it is not a group tour. Since this is a private tour, you are enjoying all of these by yourself!

Sean was an amazing guide, who was well spoken and incredibly knowledgeable of the area and history in Chile. He drove us through Vina Del Mar and ensured we saw the best views prior to our horseback riding tour. Sebastian and the team at the ranch were also fantastic guides on the horses and very knowledgeable and caring with their horses. I felt very safe throughout the entire experience and would absolutely recommend this trip to anywho who wants to see some of Chile’s coolest parts in just 1 day! After our horseback ride, Sean even offered to stop and let us grab some empanadas and a quick wine sampling before dropping us off at the airport. The team is very personalized and are able to cater to your group’s individual needs. A great day all around.

My wife and I hired Chilean Dream Tours for two full day tours: Casablanca Valley Boutique Wine Tour for 2 and the Pacific Horseback Riding on Beach and Sand Dunes Tour. The following is some detail about those tours.

Sean was our planner, driver, and guide, he is of half American, half Chilean decent and is fluent in both English and Spanish. What was wonderful is that Sean not only customized our tours but also provided assistance in chosing restaurants and shops as well as provided significant historical context to the area and to Chile overall, which was important given evolution of the Chilean economy and the Chilean Presidential election occurred during our visit to Valparaiso.

Given the timing of our visit -- the omicron variant of COVID-19 was spreading worldwide -- it was especially important to have a guide who was aware of and observant of the country's healthcare policies.

The Casablanca Valley Boutique Wine Tour for 2 included an excellent mix of wineries to visit. I worked with Sean to customize the tour to find the area to visit, the desired wine quality, price points, and variety of facilities I wanted to see and sample. Those included wineries that range fron one that uses ancient production techniques as well as produce olive oil and liqueurs to one that has a very modern facility and provides dining experiences. We also had time to tour around other towns between Casablanca and Valparaiso as well as downtown Valparaiso.

The horseback ride on the dunes is a must do for anyone who really knows how to ride and wants to ride across a variety of terrain. It's a bit of a drive to get to the family-owned ranch in Ritoque for the 3-hour ride. After which you get to drive through a variety of coastal towns and cities to get a better flavor of the area, e.g., Las Ramaditas, Reñaca, Concon, Viña del Mar. We were able to have lunch at a restaurant on the beach in Concon then stopped around Viña del Mar to sightsee, e.g., the museum, by the casino, and shops to buy some personal items.

Chilean Dream Tours offers many other options for standardized and customized experiences in and around Santiago and Valparaiso.

This was the most AMAZING ride I’ve ever been on!! My third tour with this company and Sean did not disappoint!!! It was a surreal landscape like another world or a scene from a movie! Then an amazing forest ride with the beauty and scent of fresh pine! Finished by a beach ride and real gallop! Sebastian was a great guide on the ride and his passion and care for these animals was evident!! Even his dogs followed along and helped!!! Truly a unique experience that you will not find on other “riding tours”

Sean found the most amazing place for lunch with reservations complete we had no worries and the best table overlooking the ocean was our view with Lobster Thermador that I won’t ever forget!

The scenic ride was spectacular and Sean’s knowledge of the culture and history was priceless! DO NOT hesitate to book this tour!!

@ChileDreamTours creates these two tours for us and what a great tour it turned out. We started this tour Horseback riding on the beach, then moved on the the woods, into the dunes - stopped to a short break then back onto the beach. The Huasos (Cowboys) were great with us - they gallop and raced (safely) with my nephew across the beach. They were a fun bunch and we loved that we had their dogs as companions.
Then we stopped for lunch before continuing to Valparaiso for a city tour. We had a great time with our tour guide Esteban Thanks #ChileDreamTours for a great day.

The tour allows us to ride in the forest, trot and gallop on the beach. The horse man is so friendly and experienced, we feel safe and enjoyable. Not only biscuit and drinks, he brought even a honey dew melon to be served during rest! Highly recommended to all horse-riding lovers at all levels.

Had an amazing day exploring the Concon sand dunes on horseback with a great local family, and a visit to the Quintessence Alpaca Farm! Would highly recommend. Sean was our guide, and was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.
