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.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Proper horse match and briefing beforehand. Ride lead and variation on ride excellent.. - Caroline
Loved every moment that allowed me to escape reality!! Horse are so well schooled that you can trust them so that you really can just relax and enjoy! The guide was friendly, caring and guided us well step by step especially that it was my daughter's first gallop. The horses were well matched to each riders capabilities. I get the general feel that the horses are well looked after. Thank you! Would definitely recommend this experience to others! - Barbara
