Wild Coast - South Africa

Wild Coast Adventure Trail

5 star rating   30 July 2022

Linda who has been on 21 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic week of riding - fast paced at times along the beaches | All expectations exceeded. Our third visit to The Wild Coast - back with more friends this time. Postponed twice because of Covid. Horses are amazing, sure footed, keen to run on the endless deserted sandy beaches but with brakes. Also foot-sure negotiating rocky rivers and gorges. They are a pleasure to ride and are clearly well loved and cared for. Fantastic to ride along the beaches and cliffs while spotting whales and dolphins. One of our top 3 riding holidays (and we have been on many). Julie-Anne and her team are doing a fantastic job. Mel and Tertia are brilliant guides and dealt with some challenging situations in a professional, caring and friendly way. We laughed a lot!

[Abbie from In The Saddle replies: We are so pleased that you enjoyed your return visit to the Wild Coast. Many thanks for taking the time to tell us about your trip].

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The accommodation is all great but the Kobb Inn and Wavecrest are the best in my opinion. Do have a massage at the spa at Wavecrest - really good and a lovely treat after long days in the saddle.

How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

All good, no improvement needed - particularly as we had to postpone twice because of Covid restrictions and had several (non Covid related) flight changes.
