Krabi Horse Riding at Ao Nam Mao Beach

Picture yourself on horseback along Ao Nam Mao Beach, feeling the ocean breeze as your horse’s hooves splash through shallow waves. This 2-hour ride combines the thrill of horseback riding with one of Krabi’s quieter stretches of coastline. The horses are gentle and well-trained, making it perfect for beginners who’ve never been in the saddle before. The highlight comes when you ride right along the water’s edge – there’s something magical about the rhythm of your horse matching the sound of waves lapping the shore. With just you and up to 9 other riders, it feels intimate rather than crowded. Your guide keeps things relaxed while ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe throughout the ride.

Trip Store Krabi keeps the logistics simple with hotel pickups from Ao Nang and Ao Nam Mao included in your $45.59 fee. You’ll need to arrive at Krabi Horse Riding Camp 20 minutes early for a safety briefing and to get fitted with your helmet. The English-speaking guide walks you through basic riding techniques before you head out, so even complete beginners feel prepared. The small group size means personalized attention – your guide can adjust the pace based on everyone’s comfort level. They provide drinking water and basic accident insurance, though you’ll want to grab lunch elsewhere since food isn’t included. The entire experience flows at an easy pace, giving you time to actually enjoy the scenery rather than rushing through it.

This tour earned a solid 4.6 out of 5 stars from 43 reviews, and it’s easy to see why. The “easy” difficulty rating is accurate – you don’t need any riding experience or special fitness level. However, pregnant travelers and anyone with back problems should skip this one for safety reasons. Weather can affect the schedule, so book with some flexibility in your itinerary. If you’re staying outside Ao Nang, factor in extra pickup fees: 100 THB from Klong Muang Beach, or 200 THB from Tubkaek Beach or Krabi Town.

Insider Tip: Book this tour for late afternoon when the beach is less crowded and the lighting is perfect for photos. The free cancellation policy means you can wait for good weather conditions.

Safety Tip: Even though helmets are provided, wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to protect your legs from rubbing against the stirrups and saddle.
