Beach Horseback Ride at Haskell’s Beach
Our 75+ minute Private Beach Ride offers the most intimate way to experience Santa Barbara’s coastline—an entirely personal journey set directly on the sand, with no roads, overpasses, train tracks or interruptions along the way.
Located in Goleta, just north of Santa Barbara and adjacent to the iconic The Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort, this experience begins through a discreet, private access point to Haskell’s Beach within the Elwood Beach Preserve. The setting is quiet, expansive, and deeply tranquil, allowing you to fully settle into the rhythm of the sea.
Wide stretches of shoreline, rolling dunes, and abundant coastal wildlife define the landscape. Guests frequently encounter pods of dolphins offshore, pelicans gliding low over the waves, and—on rare occasions—a whale passing gracefully along the horizon. It is an experience that feels both exhilarating and serene—a true bucket-list moment.
Weekday bookings may enjoy $30 in savings per couple, offering added value without compromising the exclusivity of a private ride.
Every booking also includes a complimentary two-for-one wine tasting gift certificate from Carr Winery, with locations in downtown Santa Barbara and the Village of Santa Ynez—an elegant way to continue the experience after your ride.
