About Horse Riding on the Beach
Go for a two hour horse ride in along the spectacular Noordhoek beach, combined with a short bush ride.
Find accommodation near Noordhoek Beach to make the most out of this magnificent stretch along the Western Cape coastline when planning your trip to South Africa.
This beach extends for eight kilometres and remains one of the most pristine and untouched in the country. While long walks on the white sand or days spent sun-tanning under the hot South African sun are idyllic, galloping along the shores on the back of a responsive horse really is quite special.
Horse rides in Noordhoek last for around two hours and are suitable for experienced riders as well as for newbies. The well-trained horses are insightful, and are drawn to their riders, giving you the opportunity to hold the soulful gaze of one of these powerful animals and to interact with them in very personal ways.
The horse rides are guided by experienced riders that know the animals’ individual personalities and quirky characteristics. They also know the areas well and are committed to providing a fun and safe ride for all.
Along the way, look out for the impressive variety of bird species because the bush ride circles the wetlands. So, you may see a variety of water birds; including flamingos, cranes and geese. Cast your eyes to the ocean to spot (hopefully) dolphins playing in the surf or, in the latter half of the year, whales breaching and blowing impressive sprays. Otters and seals may also make their very cute appearance.
Guided rides are conducted at various times of the day. Riders need to be at least 12 years or old, and need to have a maximum weight of 95 kilograms / 14.9 stone / 209 pounds. Book your ride well in advance to avoid disappointment, particularly during the busy summer months.
