Experienced guides escort riders twice daily along the 13km circular route. The trail takes about two hours to complete, leading 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. Here on this isolated beach, riders can canter their mounts in the shallows or have an exhilarating gallop on the sand.
The trail provides magnificent views of the area and affords ample opportunity to spot a variety of bird species, tortoises, bushbuck, plant and marine life. Imagine whale watching from horseback!
You may see seals basking in the sun and the rare African Black Oystercatcher is always to be found near the Gamtoos river mouth.
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.

Papiesfontein Beach Horse Rides
Amazing experience! Would highly recommend the beach horseback trail located at Pappiesfontein. You will be at awe at what beauty, nature has to offer. We have been for our third time, we are already planning our fourth. The trail ride is guided with excellent companionship. Trust that you are enlightened and will book your own adventure. 5/5 - Ellé
Definitely booking with them again, great guides and great beaches - Shaun
Had a great ride, was tailored to the group experience, would have liked to go to the water but the tide was coming in. Would recommend - Sandra
My daughter had a 2 hour ride and she was very pleased when they returned. Can't wait to go again. - Duane
We had an awesome time with Papiesfontein with Jan, Johnny and Cassandra. I was especially impressed with the flexibility that the team have us with rebooking because of bad wind and rain conditions. We were even given the option of a refund in case we ran out of time for finding a good slot. Luckily that wasn't necessary and we were able to enjoy a fantastic ride on well-kept horses with experienced and helpful guides. An amazing time overall. 5/5 - Andrew
