Do I need any prior horse riding experience?

The guided horse ride is open to new riders to experience riders.
All of the horse rides are conducted at walking pace only. This is regardless of your rider experience. The purpose of these tours is to take it slow, to settle into the rhythm of the rainforest and your horse. Riders are not allowed to trot, canter or gallop at any time during the tour.

Is there limits on the horses?

All minors under 18 years old participating in a horse activity must have a parent or legal guardian on the ride with them. No refunds will be provided for children booked on a ride without an adult.

Maximum weight limit is 95kg.

Conditions and wet weather cancellations.

Rain in the rainforest! This is part of the experience! Cape Tribulation is one of the wettest places in Australia, so be sure to dress for wet weather. Please note, we do not offer refunds for wet weather if you choose to not participate. 

In the event that management feels the weather conditions are dangerous for the horses or riders, we will unfortunately cancel the tour due to safety concerns. In this instance all participants will be given a refund.

Medical Conditions

We do not recommend riding if injured and we require all Pregnant ladies to have a medical certificate if they wish to ride.
