Papiesfontein Beach Horse Rides
Horseriding trail combining bush, river and beach with experienced guides near Jeffrey’s Bay in Kouga country.
Papiesfontein Beach Horse Rides offers guests an unforgettable view of the bush, river and beach around Jeffrey’s Bay and the chance to see wildlife including bushbuck, rare birds and even whales, as well as breathtaking dunes and vegetation on guided two-hour horseback rides.
Started by Frankie and Esré Lötter in 1996, Papiesfontein Beach Horse Rides now have plenty of well trained, good-natured horses, as well as experienced guides who escort riders twice daily on a 13 km route culminating in a 6km stretch of pristine, deserted beach.

What a wonderful experience. The guides, after watching us for a little while, were confident in our abilities to gallop independently down the beach. What a thrilling experience and one I wish I could've done over and over. Had we stayed in the area longer we probably would've booked the ride again. It was gloriously fun. The horses are clear about their jobs and, while they love the fast gallop, are very responsive when you need them to slow. Amazing experience all around. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful place to ride, the dunes are spectacular ! I asked for a Beginner ride and the horse I was given was very suitable. The guide that rode with me was exceptional in his support and advice. Cassandra herself is just lovely! Add to that mix some beautiful dogs and cats and Papiesfontein is an awesome place!
