Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book in advance at Rancho Grande Mallorca, or can I call on the same day?
Several reviews suggest that booking ahead is useful, but not always essential. One guest was added to the schedule on the same day after calling, and another was saddled up within 10 minutes without a reservation. For popular slots, such as the 3:00 PM group, it is sensible to enquire early.
How long is the ride at Rancho Grande Mallorca, and what does the full experience include?
Many reviews describe the ride as a roughly 2-hour excursion. Depending on the booking, the full experience may also include transfer, waiting time on site, and later BBQ, dinner or a show. One review mentions meeting at 10:00, starting around 11:00, and returning at about 1:00 PM.
Is the ride suitable for beginners, children and mixed riding levels?
Yes, the rides are organised by ability level. Reviews commonly mention three groups: beginners at walk pace, a trot group, and an advanced canter group. Several guests note that horses and routes are matched to the rider’s level, which is useful for mixed groups and families.
Do you actually ride on the beach at Rancho Grande Mallorca?
Reviews indicate that the beach is usually only reached briefly and is not the main part of the ride. Distances mentioned are around 200 to 500 metres to the beach access, while the rest of the route goes through woods, fields or open countryside. That is useful to know if you are expecting a long beach section.
Are there waiting times between the ride, dinner and the show?
Yes, several reviews mention a gap of about 2 hours between the ride and the later meal or show. For an evening event, one review notes an audience dance session around 9:45 PM and the show starting at about 10:30 PM. It is worth allowing for this when planning your evening.
Is there parking, and is it easy to reach by car or transfer?
Several reviews mention a large or ample car park directly in front of the ranch. Hotel pickup and drop-off are also offered, and one guest said the transfer ran on time. Rancho Grande Mallorca is in Son Serra de Marina, so using a sat nav or pre-arranged pickup is practical.
What animals and extra activities are there for people who do not ride?
Reviews mention a large site with many free-roaming animals, a small zoo or animal area, and a playground. That means there are options for companions who are not riding. Photos are also taken during the ride and can be purchased afterwards.
What food is included at Rancho Grande Mallorca, and is the BBQ part of the package?
Reviews frequently mention a BBQ or dinner package together with the evening show. Examples given include grilled meat for 2 people at €33 and sobrasada at €39 per kilo. For larger groups, one guest mentioned a bill of over €750 for 15 people.
