Tour Description
Take a guided horse riding adventure tour through our unspoilt natural tropical rainforest wonderland, which borders open eucalypt woodlands and natural freshwater creeks and streams. Billabong Horseback Adventures is also habitat to many native animals such as the Cassowary, Bush Turkey, Wallaby, Paddemelon, Lace Monitor & the famous Ulysses Blue butterfly.
Our sunset Horse Riding adventure begins approximately 1 hour prior to the daily sunset time, and we begin a journey to a breathtaking lookout to admire the sunset over the surrounding valley.
Following the setting of the sun, and transpiration to last light, we re-mount our horses, switch on our special helmet lights and continue our journey in almost complete darkness through the rainforest to our base where you will enjoy a delicious serving of supper around a real aussie style campfire, and roasting marshmallows. Enjoy this with complementary tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other refreshments.
Billabong Horseback Adventures caters for all experience levels and focuses particularly on operating small groups to make your tour more personallised, and not make you feel lost among a crowd. Infact, in any one group there will only ever be a maximium of 6 riders, accompanied by 2 experienced riding guides whom will instruct you on how to ride a horse, and answer any questions you may have during the tour. They will make sure that at all times you feel comfortable and do anything possible to ensure your adventure with us is unforgettable experience that you will want to return to again and again.
Professional photography is also provided with every tour, and digital A4 souviner photo prints can be purchased for $15 upon conclusion of your tour.
