People visit Cairns for the stunning natural environment – sweeping secluded beaches, lush emerald rainforest, cascading waterfalls surrounded by moss-covered rocks, majestic mountains and rugged valleys. You can see some of these features of Cairns and surrounds by car or coach, even more by quad bike and trail bike, but who can truly immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere with all that engine noise and exhaust fumes? You can walk the rainforest trails and sandy shores, as this would allow you to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the wilderness, but this expands a lot of energy. There is one option that helps you see all these beautiful areas, without leaving you exhausted or ruining the experience with noisy motors and fumes – horseback riding!
Imagine sitting atop a comfortable saddle while you’re gently and sure footedly conveyed along winding rainforest trails, along sparkling streams and fern-lined ponds – cantering along wider bush tracks and in the shallows of a white-sanded beach. Horseback riding allows you to hear, see and smell the sounds around you, allowing you to feel closer to nature. There’s really no other manner of transport that compares, and we offer a variety of horse trekking options for those wishing to experience Cairns by Horseback.
If you’d like a convenient option that offers you a two-hour tour (or one-hour if opting for the sunset tour) around a stunning 18 acres of farmland, rainforest stands and lily-filled duck ponds, all teeming with native wildlife, amphibians, birds, peacocks, geese and ducks, then the ‘Blazing Saddles’ tour is for you. Located just 10 minutes from Cairns, this is the ideal option for those wishing to fill an afternoon with something fun and relaxing. You might even spot the resident croc!
If you want to get into the wilds of Cape Tribulation’s Daintree Rainforest and stretch your horses legs along Cape Tribulation Beach, the ‘Cape Tribulation Horse Rides’ option is the perfect tour for you. With the option of a slow, steady ride for beginners, or a ride with a little more speed for those experienced horse people, you’re guaranteed to find your ideal pace as you meander through the oldest living rainforest in the world, stop for a drink at a mountain stream and trot, canter or gallop along a gorgeous, scenic rainforest-lined beach.
If you’d like to combine your horse riding experience with another Cairns adventure, you can combine the two and save some money. With the ‘Ballooning & Horse Riding Combo’ option, you’ll enjoy an early morning hot air balloon ride over the stunning Cairns Highlands, before enjoying a two-hour horse ride at Blazing Saddles. The ‘Green Island & Horse Riding Combo’, you’ll experience two-hours of aquatic bliss as you explore the amazingly beautiful Green Island, before enjoying the afternoon at Blazing Saddles. Our ‘Horse Riding & Barron Rafting Combo’ gives you a morning two-hour ride at Blazing Saddles, with the afternoon spent enjoying an exhilarating white water adventure on the scenic Barron River. Finally, the ‘Horse Riding & Quad Biking Combo’ allows you to experience a two-hour horse trek, as well as 1.25 hours of exciting quadbike riding on the same property, at Blazing Saddles. You’ll even enjoy an Aussie hotdog lunch in between!
