Maldives 🇲🇻First experience of horse riding on the beach
20250626
At the end of the trip, we finally managed to add a horse riding trip to the beach. I thought it was beautiful when I saw people riding horses and wanted to find someone to book this activity. However, after asking around, it seemed that no one knew who to ask. They only knew that if there were horses, it was right to ask them (nonsense 😆). However, it was also very casual, just like the style of the Maldives, haha. Let’s get back to the point. As expected, when we had just finished watching the sunset and were about to give up looking for horses and walk back to the hotel, we met someone leading horses (all kinds of unexpected trips 😜). We asked them and they said it was $12 USD for a round trip to the beach. At first, it sounded quite cheap, so we made an appointment with them. However, when I saw the horse spitting, I thought it was unwell, which made me want to give up again 😆. I don’t want my happiness to be based on the suffering of animals, so I repeatedly asked the grooms if they were sick? Or did they need to rest? They told me that they were very healthy and strong. I thought, okay, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this. It just fulfilled my dream of riding horses by the beach 💭. On the way to chat with the groom, I learned that the horses were named Sophia, she was 14 years old, and I also chatted with the groom. He said that he was from Sri Lanka and now lived on the Maldives resident island. He asked me if I liked it here, and I said I liked it very much. But, in my heart, what I like most is the people here, who simply and sincerely welcome and respond to the feelings of every traveler. Although we know that we have only met once and are just passers-by, the reality of the moment is very beautiful, and I like it and miss it.
🕰️Business hours: Unfixed (they said they want to find horses😌)
📍Address: Maafushi Beach🏝️
💰Per capita consumption: $12/person
💞Recommendation reason: In fact, the overall cost is not expensive. It is really a great experience to walk along the beach with the sea breeze and watch the sunset or scenery.
🗓️Itinerary arrangement: Maybe it would be better to ride before sunset, because the effect of my photo after sunset was not so good (it needs post-production and photo editing otherwise it will be dark)
