I went horseback riding with my parents and I thought the horses were really well cared for. I rode Bella, and at the end I gave Pipen some cuddles. They’re so cute! 😍
An incredible experience — horse riding at the meeting point of two UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef are simply a dream. The horses are beautiful, gentle, and it’s obvious they’re extremely well looked after.

As beginner horse riders we enjoyed the experience. We felt safe and our confidence grew as the ride progressed. It was an interesting transition in scenery from farm to rainforest and beach. Just do it 😀
