The Tour Your morning starts with a pickup from accommodation where you will be taken to Blazing Saddles to begin your horseriding adventure. Saddle up for a journey through rainforest pockets, mangrove wetland, sugarcane fields and native bush on horseback! Tours are completed with freshly made morning tea served by the Billabong lagoon. Trails are perfect for absolute beginner riders through to the more experienced rider. Your horse is ‘hand picked’ for your particular skill level and you are provided with a safety and introductory riding lesson, then split into groups of varying skill levels so as to ensure you have a safe and fun horse riding experience.
