All of our 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.
Yes, knowledgeable local guides are with you throughout your Cape Trib Horse Ride providing information on the local area and flora and fauna.
As avid horse people, we at Cape Trib Horse Rides understand the healing properties of being around horses. Due to the open National Park and Beach format of our trail rides, we do not have an enclosed/controlled equine riding environment. We also fully respect the specialised coaches, training and equine equipment required to safely facilitate therapeutic and disabled riding. As a result, we reserve the right to limit the availability of horseback riding due to anything which may in our judgement pose a threat to the health and safety of either horse, rider, fellow riders or guides. This includes but is not limited to being able to independently, promptly and without assistance respond to, follow and execute on trail guide direction as well as mount and unmount independently and without assistance.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to discuss these with you.
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.
Guests are not allowed to ride double on one horse. All children must be accompanied by an adult you will need to book a ride for yourself and your child.
To ensure the safety of our guests, staff, and horses, no dogs (including service dogs) are permitted on our horseback rides or anywhere on the property. This policy helps prevent any interaction between dogs and horses, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.
We do not recommend it and require all Pregnant ladies to have a medical certificate if they wish to ride.
