Cape Tribulation Horse Riding

RAINFOREST RAMBLE TO THE BEACH

Cape Tribulation Horse Riding

Our scenic rides are a journey of discovery. Surrounded by ancient trees, you’ll walk past a rainforest creek and down to the beach.

Along the way you’ll ride through Cape Trib Camping grounds where if you’re lucky, you might spot a cassowary moving through the undergrowth. Moving alongside Myall Creek, you might see a crocodile sunning itself (from a safe distance of course) and then it’s on to the sand for breathtaking views of the Cape Tribulation headland.

The pace is intentionally slow and mindful, allowing you to truly appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds you here at Cape Tribulation, the only place on Earth where two UNESCO World Heritage sites meet: the Great Barrier Reef and ancient Daintree Rainforest.

Cape Trib Horse Rides > The Rainforest Ride

The ride begins at our rainforest stables, at Cape Trib Camping Grounds. Here you will be paired with a horse before we commence our journey, following a lush rainforest trail towards Myall Beach. During the ride let the sounds of the forest wash over you and keep a keen eye out for local flora and fauna. In addition to being scenic the Cape Trib Horse Rides also provide the chance to connect and learn more about this special place, thanks to the narrative from our local guides.

Myall Beach > Cape Tribulation

Emerging from the dappled light of the rainforest, we ride onto the sands of Myall Beach for panoramic views of the Cape Tribulation headland. We pause to take in the significance of the area and its untouched beauty, with plenty of time for photos. On the return journey, enjoy sweeping views of Mount Sorrow rising above the rainforest canopy. The tour is not about going fast, in fact it’s all completed at walking pace, providing an intentionally peaceful and grounding experience.

Die Besitzer der Ranch sind beide total hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Wir hatten leider nicht die Chance eine Tour bei ihnen zu machen, wurden aber von Ihnen aufgesammelt als unser Auto liegen geblieben ist. Wir durften uns außerdem auf einen Teil ihres Landes stellen bis wir eine Lösung gefunden haben. Super nett!

You're not guaranteed to get to walk in the water (the guides need to be able to see there are no crocs or sting rays 🙃) but even the walk on the beach is lovely and they stop and take photos for each group on their horses which was lovely. Walking in the water was unreal though. Made it the coolest trail ride I've done so far 😍

My family and I all went riding and loved it. The horses were well trained knew what they were doing so we didn't really need to worry about it. We also enjoyed the random facts about the Daintree from the guide up front. Yes, my feet were undoubtedly sore afterwards but it was definetly worth it. Especially when my mothers horse decided to go bush. We got some really good pictures and some good laughs (mostly at each other). Would definetly recommend this to people who've never ridden before.

We had a very enjoyable ride, even my husband that had never ridden a horse felt relaxed and comfortable on the well cared for horses. Jackie and the other team rider made the experience pleasurable with their knowledge of the local area. Thank you :)
