You’ll ride for one hour beside Cape Town’s Atlantic Ocean on former racehorses, with guides walking nearby and taking photos on your phone. Hotel pickup and drop-off, transport, helmets, riding gear, and an English-speaking driver-guide are included. If the beach ride is full, you may ride a mountain-view trail through farmlands instead.

“Entspannter begleiteter Strand-Ausritt auf ehemaligen Rennpferden am traumhaften 8 km langen Noordhoek Beach. Die Begleiter sind zu Fuss unterwegs und machen Fotos mit den Handys der Gäste. Die Pferde sind in sehr gutem Zustand und einfach zu reiten. Laut Begleiter gibt es auch die Möglichkeit am Strand zu galoppieren aber nicht direkt am Wasser. Hat Spass gemacht.”
