Company Overview
At Equinatur we bring horses to all ages very close to Lake Banyolès in Girona.
We specialize in horseback riding from our facilities in Serinyà, in Girona. In addition, we offer you different equine modalities, always combined with routes and walks on our animals so that your learning is enjoyable:
- Classical dressage lessons that will allow you to get started in the most traditional horse riding.

The routes can take you around our center or very far to places like the Costa Brava in Empúria Brava or to the Pyrenees themselves. They are divided according to the days of duration into routes from 1 day to 7 days.
Children are also another of our focuses of action through horse riding camps and holiday esplai for minors between 6 and 16 years old.

I had a great time on the horseway route, I had never set up crossing a river and it was cool.
When the boss arrived, he gave me some councils that I later put into practice.
The monitor who touched me was very nice, and dominated well since my mare was more dry and did not want water and that was going well to cool off hehehe, and we trot a little and everything. So, very complete. -

The horseworthy adventure was simply great. We had great horses that adapted well to us. We learned a lot, we were able to prepare and brush the horses ourselves and heat with them on the track.
Rafael was very sensitive and comprehensive. The best thing was to bathe in the water with the horses.
The landscape was very nice while we rode through the field. We will certainly return next year.Company's response:
Thank you very much for sharing the adventure. See you soon! -
CCarla VermeulenReviewed the 21/09/24My daughters absolutely loved their horseriding tour through the beautiful woods and countryside. Their favorite part was wading through the river. Communication was a bit difficult because of the language barrier (daughters do not speak any Spanish,the instructor speaks little English), but the friendly staff and experienced instructor made them feel at ease. Thank you! Definitely 5 star recommendation ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️

I went with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary, and the truth is that I would recommend it to anyone who seeks to spend a few hours of disconnection and enjoy nature and animals.
The route was precious the excellent treatment, from the equestrian staff to the guide that gave us a memorable experience. -

The tour was fine. I give you 3 stars because we had stayed in a specific hour, I arrived 15 minutes before, nothing was prepared, we had to wait almost 50 minutes until the horses were ready. I paid for the 2 -hour route and only lasted 1 hour 25 minutes. -
