Cape Town: Beach Horse Ride with Hotel Pickup & Drop-off

1.Beach Horse Ride with Hotel Pickup & Drop-off

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 42 reviews · 4 hours · from $180Our pick

Travel by hotel pickup to Cape Town’s Noordhoek area for a gentle one-hour ride beside the Atlantic. Ex-racehorses walk through shallow waves while guides handle the horses and take photos. Advanced riders may gallop on a separate sand track. If the beach is full, you ride a mountain-view farm trail.

“Entspannter begleiteter Strand-Ausritt auf ehemaligen Rennpferden am traumhaften 8 km langen Noordhoek Beach. Die Begleiter sind zu Fuss unterwegs und machen Fotos mit den Handys der Gäste. Die Pferde sind in sehr gutem Zustand und einfach zu reiten. Laut Begleiter gibt es auch die Möglichkeit am Strand zu galoppieren aber nicht direkt am Wasser. Hat Spass gemacht.”

3.Kudu Trail Horse Riding Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 1h 30m · from $43Best value

Meet your horse and guide at Doornkraal farm near Oudtshoorn for a 90-minute ride through the Klein Karoo. Michaela and Manuela are known for matching riders with calm, well-trained horses and adjusting the pace for beginners. Expect farm roads, jeep tracks, game paths, wide views, and local nature.

“Diese Tour war ein absoluter Glücksgriff! Michaela war so sympathisch, sie hat uns tolle Pferde ausgesucht, der Ausritt durch die kleine Karoo Wüste war atemberaubend und auf einem Pferderücken ist es einfach nochmal etwas anderes. Ich würde es wirklich jedem ans Herz legen, diese Aktivität zu buchen, ich bin mir sicher, ihr werdet es nicht bereuen!”
