Horses Tours in Croatia: 7 We Would Book Ourselves

1.Dubrovnik Kojan Koral: Horseback Riding

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 100 reviews · 4 hours · from $164Our pick

Spend about two hours on horseback with Kojan Koral near Dubrovnik. Guides such as Pero, Kika, and Kristina lead small groups through forest paths, along rocky Konavle, and past Popovići’s archaeological remains. Beginners are welcome, but expect uneven ground. The ride ends with prosciutto, cheese, water, and local wine.

“wow - what a magical experience. I felt like I was an extra in Yellowstone. the environment is so peaceful, calm and quiet. Feeling connected to the horse, at dusk watching the sunset was really magical. Kika, our trail leader was so charming and reassuring. I have previous experience of riding, but can see how complete novices might initially be nervous given the terrain. They will soon relax into the experience though as these horses are well trained.”

Travel from Dubrovnik to the Mali Raj horse center in Konavle for a 60-minute ride through fields and forests. Antea, Iris, and their family match calm, well-trained horses to your riding level, with views toward Snježnica mountain. Afterward, enjoy local cheese, figs, grapes, bread, homemade drinks, and friendly ranch hospitality.

“Great experience. From pick up through to drop off the hosts were very welcoming and congenial. They have a small ranch with horses, goats, dogs and cats; very hospitable offering bread, cheese, figs, grapes etc with family brewed wine and liquors. Horse riding was straightforward and felt safe; we wished we had booked the longer half-day trip where you get to ride through a river! (Apparently you can find this listed as alternative experience in Viator). Everyone in our family (including two teenagers) agreed we all liked this trip.”
