About this tour
When Mia from our BugBitten team ran this Mallorca evening tour, it felt like the kind of night that ticks several boxes at once: genuine countryside riding, a proper feed, and live music without the tourist-trap vibe. You're on horseback for about 70 minutes along the quiet north coast, then back to a ranch-style setup for grilled meat, sangria, and a horse show with country music. The whole thing runs seven hours door-to-door, with hotel pickups included. It's pitched as all-levels, so whether you've ridden before or not doesn't matter much.
Highlights
- 70-minute ride through peaceful north-coast trails, not a crowded beach route
- Barbequed meat dinner with proper Spanish sangria, included and decent
- Live country music and horse show — cheesy but genuinely fun atmosphere
- Air-conditioned vehicle both ways; hotel pickup saves logistical faff
- Guides cater to mixed abilities; nervous riders get reassurance
- Casual evening vibe, no stuffy dresscode or rigid schedule pressure
- Small-group feel means you're not herded through with 50 others
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in the late afternoon, then driven to a working ranch in Mallorca's quieter north. Once there, you're fitted with a helmet and matched to a horse suited to your experience level. The ride itself winds through scenic but mellow terrain — not adrenaline-pumping, more meditative. Your backside might protest if you're not used to saddle time, but the pace is steady and guides keep an eye on everyone.
Back at the ranch, you'll sit down to a barbequed spread with sides and sangria flowing. The food is straightforward and filling, not fancy. Then the live music kicks in with a country theme, a horse show runs alongside, and it morphs into something between a barn dance and a cabaret. It's unpretentious and the energy carries you through.

Good to know
This works brilliantly if you want a genuine slice of rural Mallorca without the gloss. Riding suits most fitness levels, kids tag along (must be supervised), and the all-in dinner-and-show combo means fewer decisions on the night. The sangria is proper Spanish, not syrupy.
Souvenir photos are extra (and will sting if you want pro shots of yourself on a horse). Gratuities aren't built in, so budget for tips. Evening rides can be affected by weather or daylight, so the itinerary may shift. If you're a nervous rider, speak up early — guides are patient but you're still on a horse for over an hour. Wear comfortable shoes and casual clothes; the terrain isn't challenging but it's dusty. Group size varies, so it can feel busier some nights. Not wheelchair-accessible.
