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.

Such a great day out with the team at Papiesfontein! For a nervous, first timer - the guides made us feel comfortable and safe, while still having fun. The horses were well cared for and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, and cannot wait to come again! - Megan
It was a lovely experience, feeling one with nature and connecting with my horse was a great experience. The beach part was the best part of the ride for me? - Ria
