Ride the beach
It was a beautiful ride on the beach and through the rainforest. Very nice relaxed horses and it's great that they look at your experience-level!

Ride the Beach
Our ride was cancelled due to weather (cyclone) however Ride The Beach kept in contact with us and we were able to re-book 2 days later. The ride was great and the horses were reliable, responsive and trustworthy. Our group were friendly as was our guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Next time we are in Port Douglas we will be re-booking.

Amazing Morning Ride
We were fitted with boots, helmets and wet weather poncho's because it rained for half the ride. The property and ponies are extremely well maintained and our guides (there were two of them even though there were only 4 guests) were friendly and knowledgeable about the horses and the area in general. We rode through bushland and rainforest to reach the beach and then went for a trot / canter along the waters edge. The scenery was beautiful and the rain did not perturb the horses. The horses had been matched against riders ability and they were all calm although mine preferred to eat rather than walk through the bushland! A fabulous experience not to be missed.

Rainy day, yet excellent fun
I had enjoyed my day on a horseback tour to the beach, the weather unfortunately wasnt the best, however the friendly guide made the day thoroughly enjoyable, the group was small (only my boyfriend and I) which made the ride pleasant. I would highly recommend this tour, such a beautiful beach and glorious rainforest.
