Grootbos Reserve Horse Riding
The 2500-hectare Grootbos Nature Reserve provides excellent opportunities for Horse Riding. Grootbos has its own stables with 20 well-trained horses. Experienced horse riding instructors lead our horse tours and cater for all levels of riding experience, including complete novices. Experience the beauty of the fynbos from horseback, surrounded by the flowers and birds unique to the mountains of the Cape Coast.
Panoramic views of mountain and sea make this a truly unparalleled experience. Foals and two ponies are available for the entertainment of children. Children under the age of 12 are only allowed on pony rides unless accompanied by parents.
Beach Horse Riding
To expand the horse riding experience at Grootbos we are now also offering 3-hour beach horse riding excursions to the Walker Bay Nature Reserve. Gentle riding through the dune fynbos brings us to the beach where we then enjoy gallops for those who wish or gentle cantering next to the waves. Beach Horse Riding is not part of the standard Grootbos activities included in your rate.
Please note that you need to have riding experience in order to take part in beach horse rides. The activity is not suitable for beginners.
