Ride Overview

Tucked in just an easy drive from Brisbane is the bucolic Sunshine Coast of Australia – tranquil towns, coastal views, long and wide sandy beaches, back country terrain – you name it – this area has all you’ll want for a fun Aussie getaway!

What do we LOVE about this ride???? Beach and surf romps – so fun! If you’ve never seen an Australian beach – let us just say that it’s really its own “thing”. Who knew that it was also considered an actual road – yup – vehicles also have access to the beach if not traveling more inland. But don’t let that give you any pause – this beach is HUGE……wonderfully wide and with loads of space for us to ride and not be bothered by vehicles or folks walking/sunbathing.

And the chance to ride in the hinterland? An absolutely stunning area, so totally different than the coast. Think dense, rain forest area, lovely and long riding tracks and many chances for fun moving out. And keep your eyes peeled for wallabies and other fun wildlife!

And along the way – There are quirky little boutique breweries hidden away in little tucked away towns, accessible only to those that really know – hidden gems…….

But the cap on the top of our days of riding – our 5***** accommodations – a wonderful place to unwind, relax and get ready for your next riding day!

Saturday: Arrival

Arrive to your luxury hotel and check in. The remainder of your day is at leisure - to relax, get caught up on any jet lag, walk around, take a dip in the pool - or enjoy a massage in the spa!

Sunday

Your second day at leisure - if you've recovered fully from any travel weariness, you may want to join one of the winery tours or head into town to stroll around. Alternatively, you can ask at the concierge about a tour of Fraser Island - well worth the time as it's a full island made of sand - truly unique and a world heritage site!

Monday

After breakfast at your hotel, you are picked up at 9am and taken to the trail head. Today's ride is the Cooran Trail - a fun but gentle trail as you get to know your trusty steed for the rest of the stay. All of the horses are draft crosses or Australian Stock Horses - sweet, fun and willing!

After a stop for lunch at a hinterland pub, you'll head back - about 4.5 hour all together.

Tuesday

Your guide will pick you up again around 9AM and today you head to our Bush and Beach ride. It's quintessential for this area - a quick tour of what makes the Sunshine Coast so truly gorgeous.

The tour today is approximately 4 hours and you'll have lunch at a trendy fun pub before getting back to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Wednesday

Free Day - a perfect day to explore Noosa (or plan your trip to Fraser Island). Or, for the shoppers out there - the Eumundi Markets (https://eumundimarkets.com.au/) are fun and quirky and make a great afternoon destination.

Thursday

Back to exploring with your amazing steed - today's ride is our Kin Kin Loop with lunch at the Kin Kin pub.

This little pub and hotel is hidden away in the hinterland and it truly an institution. It's authentic Australian culture and rarely will you see tourists - so it's a super fun place to relax and slake your thirst.

You'll be back to your hotel late in the afternoon for a nice dip in the pool.

Friday

Your final day of riding is one for the books for sure! You'll start out weaving your way through the dense forest and exploring winding tracks along the way. And around one bend - the ocean and beach open up and beckon you for another fun romp - and - wait for it - the chance to swim the horses!

This is SUCH a special opportunity......so be sure to have your bathing suit under your riding gear!

After a fun time in the sand and surf, you'll head back to the farm for a variety of snacks and relaxing beverages while your re-live your day before giving your horse a final pat.

Saturday

Check out after breakfast. Or, if you prefer, we are happy to assist you in extending your stay, just let us know!
