Born in Agadir. Raised with horses. Passionate about sharing Morocco.
My name is Ismail. I was born and raised in Agadir, just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful coastline that our horses now explore every day. I grew up around horses, my family has always worked with them, and from a very young age, I understood that there is no better way to experience the natural beauty of Morocco than from the back of a horse.
For over ten years, I have been guiding riders of all ages and all experience levels, from nervous first-timers who have never touched a horse before, to experienced equestrians looking for a unique challenge on Morocco’s dramatic Atlantic coast. Every rider receives the same patience, care, and personal attention. Every ride is different. And every ride ends with photographs and videos that I send to your phone for free, because I want you to leave Morocco with memories that last a lifetime.
Bakadir Horse Riding is not a tour company. It is a personal invitation to experience my home, the beaches, the mountains, the Berber countryside, and the magic of the Moroccan Atlantic coast, in the most authentic way possible.
The horses come first at Bakadir. Every horse in our stable is carefully selected for its calm temperament, regularly checked by a veterinarian, well fed, and given proper rest between rides. We never overwork our horses — their wellbeing is non-negotiable.
Our horses are matched to each rider based on their experience and confidence level. A nervous first-timer receives a gentle, slow-walking horse. An experienced rider who wants to gallop along the beach gets a horse that loves to run. We take the time to introduce you to your horse before the ride so you feel comfortable and confident from the very first step.

EXCELLENT Based on 65 reviews Posted on Jasmin S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Der Ausritt mit Ismael und seinen Pferden war einfach nur fantastisch. Ismael ist ein super Pferdetrainer, er geht gut mit den Tieren um und ist sehr sympathisch. Die Pferde sind großartig. Sie sind verlässlich, offensichtlich gut trainiert und haben eindeutig Freude daran, über den Strand zu galoppieren. Der Ausritt hat mich sehr glücklich gemacht und ich kann es jedem nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank Ismael!Posted on Judith CarrascoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Increïble ruta a caballo con Ismael. Simpático y muy profesional. El mejor sin duda.

If you wanna try it, don't husitate 🐴Posted on Stéphanie SuciuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a magical evening on a beach horse ride in Tamarat with Ismail! As an experienced rider, we did some separate galloping along the shore, while my friend, a beginner, felt totally comfortable and confident at a walk under his patient guidance. This experience is perfect for everyone, the horses are very well-trained, calm, and responsive. Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure!Posted on Bernard BoohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ismail is a great guide and a very friendly person. His horses were kind and sweet to ride. If you want a ride in Morocco you won’t forget, his is the person to go to. 👍Posted on Hina JabeenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best horse riding instructor I have ever come across who gave me my first official experience on a horse after years of not having the confidence after a fall. Ismail is incredibly skilled and intuitive and I will always recommend him to anyone, especially those who want a truly relaxing experience with a well looked after horse!
