Experienced guides escort riders twice daily along the 13km circular route that takes about two hours to complete. The trail leads through beautiful fynbos coastal vegetation, towards the Gamtoos river with breathtaking views from the dunes and finally returning along a 6 km stretch of deserted beach where riders can have an exhilarating gallop on the sand.
The guides escort every group and assist riders in selecting horses just right for their respective capabilities. This outride is ideal for intermediate and advanced riders, though in quiet times, we also accommodate first timers and beginners. Experienced riders can choose not to go with a guide and have the freedom to explore the valley at their own pace.

This horseback riding tour was absolutely amazing! The views were breathtaking, and we all had so much fun. The guide was super cool --- he took the time to see how well we could ride and even let us gallop, which was such a highlight. He also took lots of photos and videos for us, which was a really nice touch. I've done a few similar rides in other countries, but none of them were as great as this one. It was simply incredible. I'll definitely be coming back! - Kyla
We had a pleasant trail ride. Would do it again :). - Elke
This is an AMAZING horse ride. The guides are really great and take videos while you're riding. The horses are also fantastic. Would definitely recommend that you put this on your bucket list when visiting JBay or surrounds. We will be back soon - Alison
Amazing Experience -- Highly Recommended! This was an absolutely fantastic experience! The horses are treated with great care, and the guides are very attentive to all experience levels. The ride takes you through beautiful nature, and we even had the beach all to ourselves---truly magical! There are multiple guides ensuring that everyone feels safe and comfortable. If you feel confident, galloping along the beach is the absolute highlight---it's an unforgettable feeling of freedom! Thank you for the trust and for such a wonderful ride! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure. ??? - Leah
