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.

"So elke nou en dan kry jy 'n perd wat kan vlieg" - Bianca Brits Waar die golwe jou perd se hoewe soen, Waar die wind jou hare deurmekaar waai, Waar jy loshande oor die wit strand gallop, Waar die son die landskap in 'n sprokieswereld verander, Daan staan tyd stil, Daar is jy vry, Daar sal jou glimlag vir altyd by jou bly. - Bianca
It was the most amazing ride I ever did! The Galopp on the beach was just pure magic, you hardly find places where you can galop as long and as fast as you want to and nothing will ever get in your way! The guide took amazing videos and pictures of me even during the fastest sections. It was great - Sara
I loved every moment, it was very nice and everybody was friendly and helpfull - Nelmari
Loved every minute of the ride the horses are so well trained and the view was amazing. - Amy
How do I describe this amazing place? I think last Saturday was my 5th return. I brought my younger brother with that last rode a horse in 2009. I selected advanced as he was also keen for a challenge. The guide Resie was an absolute Godsend and spent so much time teaching my brother the ins and outs while my husband and I gallopped up and down on the hard sand on our super fast horses- Cheeky and Frank, I think. My brother managed to do a few canters and he is so excited to return, which I never expected. Thank you so so much Papiesfontein. We love you guys and will forever return when we are in the area. (We are from Cape Town). Keep doing your amazing work and caring after these beautiful gentle giants. I look forward to my next visit. For now I have videos to reminisce about. - Leonora
