There's nothing quite like a morning horse ride to invigorate and get you ready for another perfect day in Sal. Head to the stables where you'll be paired with your horse for an hour-long ride to the world-famous Kite beach. Canter along the sand and take in the panoramas from your new, higher vantage point. This is an easygoing, slow paced ride, ideal for families and beginners.
