Australian adventure trek & beach horse riding tour nsw.

Riders enjoy a week of horse trekking in the Hinterland of the NSW Mid North Coast, exploring different valleys and the Comboyne Plateau of the Greater Port Macquarie and Manning Valley Regions. Starting and ending at the Kerewong 60 acre horse farm property in the Lorne Valley, 5 days of horse riding tours cover different terrains, scenery and paces. 

This horse riding tour itinerary is appreciated by travellers who like to see, experience and stay at different accommodations. The horse riding and the area covered on horse back is of a similar nature as the Stationary Country & Coast Tour (A) and there is some overlap in the trails and area we cover,  but this Hinterland Trek goes a little further and brings you out of the forest and into small communities.

Four nights (first two and last two) are spend at Kerewong, the tour operator's 60 acre Horse Farm. The Kerewong Lodge and Farm is a beautiful, peaceful place to unwind, relax and enjoy the horses, hospitality and Australian nature and wildlife. The 3 riding days / 2 night circular trek will give you a sense of adventure, riding in remote bushland, following old logging trails, escarpments and the first road into Comboyne, discovering a charming little country Australian community, boutique accommodations, spectacular lookouts and breathtaking beaches.   

Horse Riding Adventure Trek Lets You Discover Australia On Horseback

Over the five horse riding days you will ride fit and forward Arabian horses across the beautiful and diverse landscape of Australia's NSW Mid North Coast hinterland and finish the week with a fantastic beach ride. Riding routes cover Australian hilly bush landscape, eucalypt- & rainforest, a long sandy beach, green farm valleys, mountain terrain and small rural communities of the Australian NSW Mid North Coast. You might see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat both during rides and on the Kerewong horse farm. Follow quiet little horse trails, 4WD Tracks, Fire trails, Forestry roads and rural council roads experiencing NSW Australian forests, farm land, eucalypt plantations, rainforest valleys, creek crossings, impressive rock formations, climb up and canter along escarpments and ridges, and take in the views from spectacular mountain top lookouts. Tie your horse outside a small village store to have lunch & coffee, stay in a luxury Country Guesthouse enjoying gourmet meals. Ride into remote bushland and along the first road that was built into Comboyne. See the picturesque views of the Comboyne Plateau. Soak your muscles in the outdoor hot tub of a small cabin atop the Comboyne Plateau while gazing at the Milky Way in the starlit night sky. Ride along the elevated farming region, to take in the breathtaking views to the coast and finish with riding along the Pacific Ocean for kilometres of long deserted beaches.

Horse Riding Tours

Horse riding tours are a unique way to explore Australia's striking landscapes and diverse wildlife. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, horseback riding experiences allow you to appreciate the surrounding environment in a way that is difficult to achieve through other modes of transportation. Our horse riding experts and friendly horses make your journey easy, and the close bond you form with your horse adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your adventure, enabling you to walk away with memories that will last a lifetime.

What types of horseback riding experiences are there?

At Adrenaline, we offer a variety of horseback riding experiences to suit different tastes and levels of experience. From short, one-hour rides, to challenging multi-day treks, there really is something for everyone:

Trail riding Trail rides allow you to explore everything from bushland and beaches, to rainforests and creek crossings, and even farmland and vineyards. With many of our horseback experiences including quick and easy training sessions to get you started, you’ll be walking, trotting and cantering like a pro before your adventure's over! And for the more experienced horseback riders, we have several free-range trails where you can chart your own course. Either way, you’ll be paired with the right steer or mare to meet your desired thrill level on these animal encounters . So, hop on a horse and get ready for an up-close and personal adventure like no other!

Beach horse riding Explore our country's epic beaches from the back of a horse! With miles of pristine sand and turquoise waters, our beach horse rides are truly an unforgettable experience. The rhythm of your horse's hooves in the sand, the salt air on your face and the sound of the waves crashing all combine to create a truly magical moment.

Vineyard horse riding Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, the vineyards provide a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely horseback ride, where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings and connect with nature. The gentle pace of the horse allows you to take in the scenery and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.

Horse riding for kids Horse riding tours for kids are a fun and exciting way for young ones to experience the beauty of the animals themselves as well as the surrounding environment. With specially trained horses and experienced guides, our tours are designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for children. Short rides through scenic landscapes, or even a trip to a nearby petting zoo, provide a great introduction to horseback riding for younger children. For older kids, there are more challenging rides that provide a greater sense of adventure, such as beach rides or scenic treks through the countryside. These tours not only provide a fun outdoor activity, but also help to develop a love for nature, animals and the great outdoors.

Where can you ride horses?

Our range of horse riding experiences in Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania take you to Australia’s most sought out attractions. Here’s just a small sample of some of our more popular destinations: Horse riding near Sydney Blue Mountain horseback rides offer up towering cliffside views and misty trails so spectacular you’ll feel like a character plucked out of one of Tolkien’s novels. Equally impressive are our Glenworth Valley horse riding adventures, situated just an hour out of Sydney. Highlights here include lush rainforests and frolicking fauna such as wallabies and kangaroos. These nature trails are among the liveliest on the globe. Horse riding near Melbourne Without a doubt, these are the most romantic trails in Australia! Saint Andrew’s Beach rides offer postcard Pacific views and an endless supply of memories. Take in the sun’s shimmering reflection as you and your special someone trot over sandy dunes and bond with your animal. Horse riding in Tasmania Horse riding in Tasmania sends you deep into the bush. Surrounded by old-growth eucalyptus, you’ll navigate your horse through dense vegetation until eventually making your way to a clearing with awe-inspiring views of Cradle Mountain.

What to wear horse riding?

• Full-length pants - if you have jodhpurs or moleskins that's great, otherwise jeans are also easy to ride in
• Footwear should be fully closed with a flat sole and a small solid heel
• You can bring your own horse-riding helmet if you have one
• It is recommended to wear sunscreen, insect repellent and a brimmed hat - if you don't usually sunscreen, insect repellent, and disposable rain coats are available on site

Home to Australia’s most iconic city and blessed with landscapes of remarkable beauty, New South Wales is packed with extraordinary cycling experiences.

Its coastline offers up famous surf breaks, scenic coastal drives and some of Australia’s most spectacular white-sand beaches—and a journey inland will take you to rugged national parks with striking bushland, wild rivers and waterfalls while the atmosphere in the towns, some of them historic, are just further assets in the NSW arsenal.

From the renowned food and wine of the Hunter Valley and Southern Highlands, and pretty Sydney with her cosmopolitan dining, convict history and dazzling views over the Harbour Bridge and Opera House to the famous Blue Mountains National Park, you will be spoilt for choice.

Head just out of Sydney to cycle the south coast, or north to the splendid Myall Lakes district, these and many other landscapes are ripe for exploring by bike.

Join us as we pedal into the most beautiful pockets of NSW by bike!
