This was an amazing time! From picking us up and dropping us off. The young lady and gentleman there were all so kind and welcoming. And we even had an extra season due to the sunset started and it was dark out and the next day we did another season. Love the out come of the all photos and Gia the horse was so sweet. Best memorable moment on our honeymoon.

We went for horse riding twice, a sunrise ride, and a sunset ride. The services they offer are wonderful, from picking us up at the hotel to the pictures and videos they took during the rides. Shajan was very attentive and helpful from the beginning. Raju the horse trainer/ handler is very experience and knowledgable so you're in good hands. Yohan has his own style and skill of taking the shots from his lenses. Overall I can say that it was a fun and we really had great times with Island Stables in Maafushi. Thank you guys for the memories. Will be back for more...

Absolutely incredible experience! The horses were so gentle and well-trained. Riding along the beach at sunset was magical. The guides were professional and made sure everyone felt safe. The photography package was worth every penny - we got amazing shots! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Maafushi.

Best activity we did in the Maldives! Never rode a horse before but the team made me feel completely comfortable. The horses Gia and Sophie are beautiful and so calm. The beach setting is unreal - crystal clear water and white sand. Professional drone photography captured memories we'll treasure forever.

Perfect family activity! Our kids (ages 8 and 12) loved it. The guides were patient and explained everything clearly. Horses were gentle with the children. Great value for money and the photos turned out amazing. Booking was easy through WhatsApp. Will definitely do this again next time we visit!

Unique experience you can't get anywhere else! Riding horses on a tropical beach in the Maldives - absolutely surreal. The team is professional, horses are well cared for, and the whole operation is top quality. The cultural stories during the sunset ride added a nice local touch. Highly recommended!
