The beach horse trail was such a beautiful experience! I came to visit my dad, who lives in Jbay, and we have always wanted to do the horse trail at Papiesfontein. We chose the beginners ride as my dad had a shoulder operation and needed a gentle horse, which our horses were. The staff are friendly, accommodating and very experienced. We felt comfortable and, led by Giant, were in excellent hands. He checked on us often and took photos and a video of our ride on the beach. The whole experience from the beautiful horses to the scenery and views was very special. Thank you!

We had a wonderful and magical time with our guide Giant. We were quite lucky being only the 2 of us for this ride. My partner being more of a beginner/intermediaire and myself an advanced rider, we both had a blast. Giant really was accommodating to both of us. The landscape is just magical, going through the bushes, up the sand dunes and then on the beach. A dream come true. Horses are well taken care of, they look healthy and happy. They gave us horses according to our level of riding. Perfect experience. We would love to come back and would definitely recommend this place.
