Horse riding

Ride along 14 kilometres of deserted beach and feel the wind through your hair. This horse trail has been named one of the best in South Africa.  It follows natural dune fields along it's course and sometimes after heavy rains these dune fields are filled with emerald pools. If you're lucky, you can also spot whales and dolphins along the way. You can choose your pace – either an easy walk or trot, otherwise a gallop that will make you want to shout with exhiliration!
