Description

There is something therapeutic about exploring the natural environment on horseback. Escape the everyday as we ride between two natural wonders of the world - the pristine Daintree Rainforest on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other.

Locally owned and operated, Wonga Beach Horse Rides operate horse trail rides in one of the world's most scenic settings. For two and a half hours, you can choose to walk, trot or canter along the golden sands and through the water of Wonga Beach followed by a gentle ride through the stunning Daintree rainforest and a tropical fruit orchard. There are two sessions a day - 8.30 a.m. for the early risers and 2.30 p.m. for those wishing to sleep in! Seasonally (from November to March) there is also a Sunset Ride which departs at 4.00 p.m. for a one and a half hour ride along the beach.

The rides can be enjoyed by all whether you are a beginner or skilled rider with the Wonga Beach team ensuring you are partnered with a horse that suitably reflects your riding ability. Boots, helmets and suitable clothing are provided on arrival and everyone undertakes a short lesson in horsemanship before getting underway!
