Horse Riding

Cape Tribulation Horse Rides runs every day, picking up from Rainforest Hideaway or another location of your choice around 8 am for the morning ride, 11:30 am for the mid-morning ride, and 14:30 pm for the afternoon ride. During low season the afternoon ride may not run.
The transfer vehicle will take you to the horse stables where you will be given a horse to suit your riding experience and skills and instructions on how to ride.

Then you will ride your horse through the amazing Daintree rainforest and several creek crossings until you get to to Myall Beach for a ride along pristine coconut tree lined Myall Beach with spectacular view of Cape Tribulation. On the way back to the stables you will again ride through the rainforest trails. For the more experienced riders there will be also be some opportunity to trot and canter.
