Begin your adventure by arriving at the stables, where you’ll be greeted by our friendly team and matched with one of our calm, well-trained horses. After a brief safety induction and helmet fitting, saddle up for a scenic 1.5-hour guided ride through the peaceful forest trails of Byron Bay. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and scents of the Australian bush as you meander your way toward The North Byron Hotel. Upon arrival, tie up the horses and settle in for a hearty pub lunch and a refreshing drink in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The maximum weight for beginners is 100kg, or 105kg for experienced riders.  Please contact us if you are slightly over this weight though, as we may still be able to take you.

No experience is necessary, however we will need to know your Age, height, weight, and experience level (0-5) to pair you with the right horse. Please use the following as a guide in your booking notes:

0) Never ridden a horse before.

4) Experienced: Comfortable at all gaits and with a more spirited horse

The minimum age for our group tours is 10 years old, however kids aged 3+ may still be able to ride on private tours or pony rides. Please contact us for more information or to arrange a private ride.  Note that all riders under the age of 18 must have parent or guardian present at the beginning of the tour to complete the waiver on their behal

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time. When you arrive, please make your way to the front porch of the ranch and wait here for staff. Do not approach the horses. If coming from out of town, please allow adequate travel time, as we are unable to wait more than 15 minutes past your scheduled tour time. If you don’t turn up for your ride (‘No-Show’), this will be considered a late cancellation and we will be unable to reschedule or offer any sort of credit.

You are unable to bring cameras (including GoPro) or phones along on the ride due to safety procedures. Our guides take iPhone photos throughout the tour. These photos are available to purchase as a paid add-on. These packages are available to pre-purchase at checkout (recommended), or—subject to availability—they can be purchased post-tour if suitable images are available. Please note: while we aim to deliver high-quality images, results can vary with light, weather and other ride conditions. Guide photos are typically processed within 5-7 business days. Once ready, you’ll be able to download high-res versions to keep. If your main interest is photos, we recommend considering our professional photography package. This package includes approximately 50-100 professionally captured and edited images, delivered via email link within 14 days of your ride. When booking a ride online, you will have the option to add one of these photo packages at the time of booking.

Our forest rides at 10 people, however we can also cater for bigger groups with overlapping or back to back rides. We also offer private tours, for as little as one person.

No refund will be given for cancellations within 14 days your ride. For cancellations outside of 14 days we can provide a refund on the cost of your booking (excluding any booking fees), less a $50 per person administration fee. For cancellations within 14 days, sometimes we can offer a reschedule or credit, however they will be assessed on a case by case basis. Please also note we do not offer refunds on rides that are postponed due to weather (see below for more info). Please ensure you have the relevant travel insurance to cover you in the case of unforeseen events including (but not limited to) weather events, travel restrictions, and border closures.
