Brett Casey
Absolutely incredible experience! Riding through the lush Daintree rainforest and then out onto the beach was unforgettable. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable, no matter their riding experience. It was obvious how well they care for the horses, which made the ride even more enjoyable. Most of all the scenery was unreal. One of the best things I’ve done in Far North Queensland — highly recommend!
Response from the owner:thankyou for the incredible review Brett!

A magical experience! Beautiful horses who behaved so well with the beginners on our trip. The guides were outstanding - monitoring the behaviour of the horses, offering assistance as required, and pointing out many interesting plants/wildlife through the rainforest. Highly recommend.
