Noosa is a world-famous surfing destination, known for its expansive beaches and colorful bays. Hike across Noosa National Park's cliffs and forests, canoe through the Noosa River Everglades, kayak across the open sea or just bask in the sunshine on golden sand that stretches and sparkles for miles.

The views and peacefulness Lake Weyba brings is just beautiful. I am lucky enough to be a regular here and have had the pleasure of riding a different horse each time – they are all lovely with their own quirky personalities but I do have a soft spot for Sam! As an experienced rider, I was able to get the rush of cantering through the lake with water splashing everywhere and jumping various logs throughout the ride. For me, nature and animals bring a great sense of relaxation and happiness. Not only do you get to enjoy the company of your horse you also get to experience the other locals of the lake – the abundant wildlife! I have been fortunate enough to see goannas, birds, stingrays, kangaroos and even feed the fish at the half way point on the 2HR ride! The staff are very passionate about what they do and have a great love for the horses and give a personal experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider I would defiantly recommend Noosa Horse Riding to everyone wanting a fun day out full of rich nature and beautiful horses!
