Ride along perfect white beaches of the Walker Bay Conservancy and whale sanctuary which is arguably the best land-based area in the world to watch whales (whale watching capital of the world from June to December – whales and their calves often come within meters of the coastline). Admire these magnificent creatures and their “aquabatic” displays, splashing, crashing and blowing, breaching, lobtailing, spy-hopping and sailing close to shore.
Enjoy the sandy beaches and experience the thrill of beach canters. Just before De Kelders the coastline gets rougher with rocky beaches and limestone cliffs which flatten out onto sandy stretches of die Plaat. The coastal landscape will give way to mountain fynbos when we hit the slopes of the coastal hills to return to Grootbos.

This was honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had. I loved every minute. It's quite a long ride down to the beach so there were sections of trotting and cantering through beautiful scenery. When we reached the beach there was only us there, so stunning. We galloped up and down the beach and through the water, would definitely do this again if I was back in the area, it was worth every penny and our guide Janika was great! - Rebecca
Einfach traumhaft - Der endlos lange Strand im Naturschutzgebiet ist perfekt zum Galoppieren. Die Pferde sind gut gepflegt und trainiert. Ich war jetzt schon mehrfach da und komme immer gerne wieder. Absolut zu empfehlen. - Kathleen
Everything very good! Thank you so much!!! - HAYSSA
Best beach ride in the Western Cape! - Gina
It was a beautiful outride with great horses and wonderful guides. The run on the beach was lovely, but the ride is mostly the way to and back from the beach on the dirt road between Stanford and Die Plaat and not as much on the actual beach. Loved every second and would do it again! - Minette
