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.

The most incredible experience! I would 100000% recommend this trip, we booked the 3hr beach ride. Horses were just lovely, fun to ride and like excitable puppies at the beach. Galloping along the sand with the sea one side and mountains the other was just an unforgettable experience, even for my boyfriend who's not that horsey. It left us smiling for the rest of the day! (And aching for a few after that haha!) - Amy
my clients enjoyed it very much - Chris
A no-nonsense fantastic morning with a terrific guide who allowed us to soak up everything good about being on horseback in such a beautiful setting. A brilliant experience that will be remembered and spoken about for a long time to come! Highly recommended. - Ian
