Horseriding 

Kuranda Horseriding

What better way to experience the Aussie bush, rainforest and spectacular views than on horseback. Our horse-riding trails meander through beautiful bushland and rainforest, allowing you to get in amongst nature and experience it first hand. We have lookouts that provide awesome views of our gorgeous coast line and local beaches.

Our trails are perfect for absolute beginner riders through to the more experienced rider. We hand pick your horse for your particular skill level, provide you with a safety and introductory riding lesson and then split groups into skill levels so as to ensure you have a safe and fun horse riding experience.

Our horses are exceptionally well treated and maintained and all have a friendly nature (like our tour guides!) We will match each guest with a horse that compliments the riders experience and ability.

We have 2 rides daily - a morning ride and an afternoon ride - and the actual riding time for each is approximately 2.5 hours.

  • Morning Ride: Pick ups commence in Port Douglas at 7:50am. If self driving you will need to be at our stables by 8:20am. The ride returns at approximately 11:30am, having you back at your Port Douglas accommodation by 12:15pm.

  • Afternoon Ride: Pick ups commence in Port Douglas at 1:45pm. If self driving you will need to be at our stables by 2:20pm. The ride returns at approximately 5:30pm, having you back at your Port Douglas accommodation by 6:15pm.

You are provided with boots, helmets and appropriate clothing (if required), and we will allocate you a horse to suit your level of riding experience.

We supply water bottles on the ride and an assortment of soft drinks on your return.

Maximum group size is 15 and we follow a ratio of one guide to every six riders. Once at the beach the group is broken up into smaller groups according to levels of riding experience. This is to ensure that the experienced riders are given the freedom to go for a really good canter along the beach and the beginner riders are given further tuition and guidance to make their riding experience as enjoyable as possible.
