Great experience all round. Horses were calm and looked well cared for.
Horses looked well-cared for and were calm - great for beginner riders. Staff were friendly and organised. No time was wasted standing around. Staff took photos and shared them with us at the end of the experience. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins surfing while we rode down the beach. Great experience.
A wonderful experience, beautiful horses, a gorgeous beach
My daughter and I loved the horse beach ride. The horses were so beautiful and gentle, my daughter had never ridden before but we both felt so secure in the hands of these horse-loving people. The walk along the beach was so picturesque and we walked away feeling so glad we did it.

I booked a 1.5 hr beach ride, which costed a lot more than just an inland ride. On the day, I woke up to a 7am text saying that they cannot do beach ride today, could only do inland ride due to transport issue. I already planned and booked a 1 year anniversary for 3 days 2 nights stay at Byron Bay, and my partner really wanted to ride a horse bad, so I went ahead with the ride inland ride. I did try and ask for partial refund but got nothing out of it. The guide and her daughter were lovely, but the inland trail ride only last 1 hour, not 1.5hr. Overall, I felt really misled. Booked for a 1.5 hr beach ride, turned into a 1 hr inland ride. I felt I truly overpaid for my experience. I specifically chose Byron Bay for our trip purely because it was one of the only places that offered beach rides. Overall my experience was not the best. Did not get my value for money.
