Exceptional and exciting day

Fabulous polo experience with my coach Ezequiel. The intro and instruction was clear and thorough in English. The one on one teaching was excellent. I was able to control th horse and hit the balls. Great introduction to the sport. Would recommend any friends to this.

Amazing

While the weather was awful, the staff ensured that I had a wonderful experience. The location is just stunning and lunch was incredible. I would recommend this tour for absolutely everybody no matter what your horse experience is. I’d travel all the way from Australia just to do this again
