Description
An alternative itinerary for those who want a little more but not as much as our other horse riding holidays. With just enough adventure, and more time at each hotel, this itinerary is ideal for riders who enjoy more time to discover the hotels and beaches of the Wild Coast.
This trail runs from Saturday to Saturday and is available most weeks.
PLEASE NOTE All riding and itineraries are subject to change due to variations in local conditions, hotel accommodation availability, riderโs abilities, the weather & the influences of the sea tides and during the rainy season the conditions of the rivers at the time of riding.

Lovely horses, mine just enough of a "challenge" to keep me riding and not get bored. Roz is a lovely guide and made sure that I was more than happy all the time. The waterfall was stunning ๐ค ๐๐๐ค and I could not believe how much amazing riding country and beach there was.
Looking forward my next ride.
Absolutely first class experience. Roz and Jess are great guides and the views or the Kei and Morgans bay amazing. You need to try this.
Wild Coast Horse Riding Adventures have been running incredible trails along one of the most diverse coastlines for the past 15 years. As a guide, I lead those trails for years and loved every second of it. The horses were too incredible for words - surefooted, responsive and reliable. All the saddles are Leon Liversage, making for a comfortable ride for both horse and human. If you haven't ridden the Wild Coast yet, it's time to put it on your bucket list.
I was apprehensive about my centre-based and mini trail week when I found I was the only guest for half the week and the other half with a Frenchman, but it worked brilliantly; the staff made me feel part of the team. It was a really wonderful fun week. Stunning, untouched landscapes, miles of perfect beaches for fast riding, excellent, well loved horses and lovely staff. Highly recommended
Unsafe horses. Arabian horses. Only for very experienced riders. Take a good helmet and vest! Lovely area.
