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.

Wonderful experience with friendly staff. - Amy
I really enjoyed it. Saw lots. Would have preferred to be on a group to have some chats while riding. I felt lonely and I was told there was also 1 lady on the morning, I would have joined the other session to not be on my own. Horse was lovely, Valentino and Jan was a great guide. - Lucy
A great experience. My being 63 yr old and my wife 60 yrs, we could obviously not perform like the youngsters but the guides devised the group after a short trip into groups with varying abilities. Some were galloping, some were cantering and we were mostly just walking with some cantering included. The guides are very professional and knowledgeable, informing us of techniques the whole time. I would definitely recommend this experience to all interested. The routes are also beautiful. Thank you Gerrit van Bosch. - Gerrit
