Tour Description

This is a four hour trek, along the national trail to a private water lily lagoon and then riding the stock route through the Australian bush savannah to see views of the Great Barrier Reef. You do not need to be an experienced rider to enjoy the four hour trail.

You ride through spectacular rainforest and enjoy views of the Great Barrier Reef from high mountain tops and the 500m magnificent Mowbray Falls. Our four hour trail is tailor made to suit your family or group. Our horses are specifically trained to suit all levels of riders - from absolute beginners to advanced. Your hosts have a lifetime of horse experience, with the added bonus of being conservationists with indepth knowledge of the area you will be riding in.

We give you a free horse riding lesson prior to, and during your ride to enhance your comfort and experience. We are on the border of the wet and dry tropics therefore there is an abundance of wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, dingoes, prolific bird life, brumbies, wild cattle and feral pigs.

You will also see a selection of animals on our farm such as cattle, chickens and working dogs. Our local area boasts the second highest population of bird species in the world and you can meet our native pet rainforest free flying parrots - who may even join us on the horse ride!

A picnic lunch can be arranged on request. We take digital photographs of you during your ride and can email them to you on request. We are members of the Association for Horsemanship Safety and Education in Australia and provide certified Australian standard safety helmets for your protection.
