Cape Town: Beach Horse Ride with Hotel Pickup & Drop-off - How the 4 Hours Really Break Down, from Check-In to Drop-Off

1.Cape Town: Beach Horse Ride with Hotel Pickup & Drop-off

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 42 reviews · 4 hours · from $180Our pick

Cape Town beach horse ride with hotel pickup and drop-off, 1 hour on Noordhoek-like Atlantic sands, plus scenic drive and a mountain trail backup.

“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.”

1-hour guided horseback ride through Vrede en Lust Wine Estate in Franschhoek with mountain views, helmets, calm horses, $75.

“Es hätte nicht besser sein können. Die Pferde wirken entspannt und ausgeglichen. Sie sind aber keine typisch gelangweilten Schulpferde, die einfach in einer Reihe hintereinander hertrotten. Sie warten darauf, dass du mitarbeitest. Und trotzdem ist die Tour für jeden was, ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschritten. Das Pferd wird nach deinen Kenntnissen extra passend für dich ausgewählt. Alle Helfer sind super lieb und bemüht, dir das Beste mögliche Erlebnis zu bieten, was sie ohne Probleme geschafft haben!”
