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
It was a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience of freedom, fun, and galloping through indescribably beautiful scenery (sand and steppe) with fantastic horses and a tour guide who knows his horses very well and handles them superbly. He takes fantastic videos while riding. Simply amazing. - Seibold

It was the most amazing experience! The horses are great and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Really made the best memories! - Lelanie
I have been involved in the horse industry for the past 50 years ...which includes Rodeo (barrel racing ) and riding Polo horses. While on vacation at Jeffrey's Bay myself and my boyfriend decided to stop by and go for a beach ride.. The first thing we noticed is the care of the horses is at a high level ...they actually rotate the horses to give them a break monthly... Our guide is extremely talented and skilled at reading the students skill level..... They've got a variety of horses which will handle every level from beginner to expert.. I highly recommend if you are looking for a fun and safe day riding horses in a gorgeous atmosphere .....This is the place to go... Jane - Jane
