What an unforgettable bucket-lust adventure. Sure-footed, enthusiastic horses who cantered, swam , climbed steep hills and were consistently steady during the beach rides, river trails and game viewing. Even though I am still a novice when it comes to horse riding, Jono paired me with first Hazel and later Abby - and both of them were a perfect fit. I never felt unsafe through out this amazing adventure and both of them carried me with the utmost care. We experienced breathtaking views, enjoyed and enjoyed exceptional home-made food. I loved the tented camp, the farm dogs, wildlife and the interaction with Jono and his team (Edain our trail guide, Catherine the wonderful cook and Thulane who helped with the horses, the swims and trekking us around). Jono also went out of his way to add to our adventure and we enjoyed late afternoon sunsets on the beach and end off with an excillerating boat ride on the Kariega river. I met the most wonderful and exceptional group of people that made this adventure unforgettable. I would most defintely recommend Beachcomber Horse Trails to anyone who loves to experience the outdoors on horseback.
2. Papiesfontein Beach Horse Trails
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 120 reviews
Just 10 km outside Jeffreys Bay and 70 km from Port Elizabeth, between the Gamtoos and Kabeljous rivers, lies the farm Papiesfontein. Here, on this special piece of land, the unique combination of bush, river and beach come together to offer you an unforgettable ride. Experienced guides escort riders twice daily along the 13km circular route. The trail takes about two hours to complete, leading through beautiful fynbos coastal vegetation, towards the Gamtoos river with breathtaking views from the dunes and finally returning along a 6 km stretch of deserted beach. Here on this isolated beach, riders can canter their mounts in the shallows or have an exhilarating gallop on the sand.The trail provides magnificent views of the area and affords ample opportunity to spot a variety of bird species, tortoises, bushbuck, plant and marine life. Imagine whale watching from horseback!

What an awesome adventure, not for the faint hearted but most certainly one not to be missed.. Start off through the bushes then onto an open private beach and in the ocean, what an adventure.. You get to ride at a good pace & the instructor is very good at teaching you what to do & when. Well worth it, great value! Look forward to doing this again.
