Our story begins back in 1984, when the very first ride set out from the old Drysdale Arms – one of the original backpacker lodges in Cape Tribulation.
With just six horses, the adventure began. Over the decades we have grown to a herd of more than 23 horses and become the oldest running tour in Cape Tribulation. We’re also proud to remain the only beginner-friendly beach ride in Australia – a truly unique experience, just like our location.
Throughout the years, the business has changed hands, welcomed countless staff and guests, and shared thousands of unforgettable rides. But one thing we can all agree on: this is still the most scenic ride in the country. Our goal has always been simple – to connect horses and people with the natural world around them and what better place to do that than here, in the world’s oldest rainforest and on the land of the world’s oldest living culture.
The current owners are a helicopter pilot and a cowgirl from outback Queensland. You’ll often spot them in the background, keeping the horses and pastures in order. They’ve called the rainforest home for over a decade and love the off-grid lifestyle and the beauty of this special place and can’t wait to share our backyard — and our best friends, the horses — with you.
