Ticked every box! - My brother was visiting from Cairo, Egypt, where he has horses. As an experienced rider, he commented on how well looked after the horses were. This is a must do experience in FNQ, totally unique and a fabulous way to experience Myall Beach with the backdrop of the Rainforest and the Turquoise waters and fringing reefs off the beach. The crew were fun and friendly and took great photos of us on horse back. An experience we'll never forget. Thank you so much. I'll definitely be back with more visitors to show off our captivating region in style!

Wonderful experience - I had such a lovely time on this ride! The staff were great, they obviously love and look after these horses. Walking through the rainforest onto the beach, where else in the world can you do this? Jerry and the other guide (can't remember his name) were very knowledgeable and provided an educational experience as well. They knew the trees, the animals, the bush food and how to eat it. Mind you, I was lucky to be right behind Jerry (who has also had a lot of chef experience with bush food), so I got to ask questions and could hear everything he said. They had a guide at the back as well, so I assume he also talked about things that those at the back could hear. Those in the middle however probably did not hear anything. Perhaps they could improve this by providing some sort of personal audio so everyone can hear what the guides are saying? Although we only walked, it was advertised as geared to beginner riders, (maybe a little pricey) and the point of the ride I think was to simply take in the beauty of the surrounds. An excellent feature is that at the halfway point, they use your own phone to take pictures of you on the beach, including kneeling in the sand to get a good shot! At first, when they said it's photo time I thought this will just be another 'you can buy your photo for $25', but they use your phone. If you want to go galloping around the place, then this is not for you. To go horseriding in such a beautiful environment where the rainforest meets the beach is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
