It couldn't be easier to sign up for the AdventureRide horseback riding vacations! Simply choose any trip and go through the on-line reservation process. We confirm your booking with a prepayment of 25% of the trip cost. Prepayments can be made by PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, AMEX or Discover. Final payments will be made at your arrival.

All available dates for horseback riding vacations can be found in our on-line calendar during booking process (step 2). The earlier you book, the better selection of available departure dates you will find. Furthermore AdventureRide provides an on-line option to easily adapt length of routes to the length of your holidays. But check with us even short term special offers - often we can still get space only a fewweeks to go.

Our horseback riding vacations include pickup at airport (port, railway station, central bus station), all transfers, accommodations, meals (as indicated, see "Good to know" section), guided activity, horses and helmets. None of our rates include airline reservations.

Yeap! Sign up 6 of your friends or family and the 7th guest travels at half price or in some cases participates for FREE! The discounts apply only to groups who jointly confirm and pay reservations for the same trip.

NO, as AdventureRide recommends to wait for our confirmation before. Do not make firm air reservations until we confirm the trip with you in writing. We recommend to visit our "How to get" section of our website to get helpful information about flights.

It takes from 1 to 6 days for us to confirm a reservation (excluding weekends and holidays). Confirmation time depends on the form of payment you choose. If you choose payment via bank transfer then it takes longer time. Once we have received payment confirmation, we will send you a booking confirmation by e-mail that also includes information such as what to bring, general travel info, etc.

Currently we accept PayPal and all credit cards provided by PayPal (like VISA, Maestro, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover etc.). You can also pay by bank transfer. Please, keep in mind that your trip is not confirmed until we have received your deposit and confirmed that to you in writing!

Definitely, Yes! We always love to see you again. You will receive 5 to 20% discount from base price for your next bookings and other small surpises. Amount of discount depends from the horseback riding vacations route and bookings you have made before.

Cancellation fees depend on various factors and are posted on our website under "Cancellation policy". In some cases we may be able to re-schedule your trip to another date for you.

You may transfer from one date to another of the same horseback riding vacation trip in the same year if available - for an administrative fee. For complete changes our cancellation policy applies. In general it is not possible to switch to another trip altogether at no charge.

Note that usually you only use half of what you take along anyways. On vehicle supporting rides weight is not so crucial, but keep it within reason! Soft luggage is always better than large hard suitcases. In all cases you can leave some luggage at the starting point and pick it back at end point. There is a limit of 10kg (22 lbs) per person to take on horse.

On some trips luggage is transported by vehicle between inns. You only need to carry clothing and personal items desired for that day's activity (in some cases lunch). Parts of some routes could be only supported by horses and horse baggage is limited to 10 kg (22 lbs).

Requests for single rooms should be submitted at the time of reservation of horseback riding vacation. On some trips single rooms are limited; therefore we suggest that you book your trip at least 90 days prior to the departure to ensure availability. Single supplement price will be provided by e-mail.

International travel requires a passport. We will provide you with information about required documents in our Booking Confirmation Packet.

Transfers and airport (port, central station) pickup are included mandatory for all of our trips, as well as back to departure point for all of AdventureRide trips.

Upon receipt of your reservation and prepayment, we will send a booking confirmation with information packet. This packet will include a daily itinerary, suggestions for preparing for your trip, a list of items to bring and other useful information.

Besides your spirit of adventure, all you need to bring is your personal gear. Don't worry, we'll send you a detailed clothing and equipment list in your booking confirmation information so you know what you'll need.

The AdventureRide horseback riding vacations are designed for all abilities! Some trips or days are more challenging than others and we suggest that you refer to our experience level indicators to identify planned activity level and the type of adventure you're looking for. Our consultants could help you choose the trip that's right for you by asking detailed questions about your riding or outdoor background, physical activity, and preferred style of travel.

While you don't have to be an "athlete" to enjoy AdventureRide horseback riding vacations, you will get the most enjoyment from your trip if you are reasonably fit. We encourage you to engage in some sort of aerobic activity three times a week and to slowly increase the distance and difficulty of this activity. A week or two before the trip you should be comfortable riding, walking or biking, etc. the distance or duration that is typical of a day on your trip.

Though it varies from trip to trip, the average is 3 to 6 hours per day.

The average group size on AdventureRide trips is 7. Very few trips may be 10+ participants. Each trip descriptions indicate the maximum number of participants, but there can be exceptions for group bookings.

For help in arranging air transportation, pre- and post-trip hotels, rental cars or rail tickets in conjunction with your AdventureRide trip, we are happy to assist you for a nominal fee, but normally we leave this up to a local travel agency. Most of our clients make their other flight arrangements simply via the internet.

Unfortunately due to the safety reasons Riding in cross-country is not available for the persons under 18 years old. Any bookings accidentally made for the persons under 18 years old will be refunded in about 10 days. We have plenty of non-riding activities available for your kids ;)

Standard accommodations on our inn horseback riding vacations are double/twin occupancy or apartments and almost always with private bathroom. Accomodations are specially selected to be in harmony with selected trail and environment.

This information is given on this website "How to get" section. In most cases it will be Riga city (RIX).

Yes, most trips are suitable for non-riding companions, but they should be prepared to rent a car, so they can go sightseeing on their own during the day. Our Non Rider rates usually do not include any activities - just the accommodations and meals. Just add information about this person in "special considerations" at booking process step 3.

Yes, AdventureRide supply saddlebags for all riding tours.

Yes, in most cases this is possible. Keep in mind that AdventureRide reserve the right to refuse the saddle if the guide thinks that it could hurt the horse. Check with us first!
