Canter along golden sand beaches and through lush coastal hinterland on a guided horseback ride — one of Cairns' most beloved outdoor adventures, right on the doorstep of Yorkeys Knob.
What to expect
Expertly matched to your riding ability, you'll walk, trot, or canter through tropical foliage and out onto the sand where horses splash through shallow surf at the water's edge — a simply exhilarating sensation. Guides share stories of the local landscape and wildlife, and the unhurried pace means you're never rushed past a magical moment. Early morning rides are particularly magical, with golden light filtering through the palms and almost no other visitors on the beach.
