Wild Coast Adventure Trail

5 star rating   5 August 2023

Amanda who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Wild time on Wild Coast Adventure Horse Trail | Since this was our second time on this trail, we knew what to expect. However, due to high winds forecast the the itinerary was adjusted and we started the trail on the day of arrival after lunch. Everything was well organised and the horses were waiting for us at the Guest Lodge. This did mean we didn't have an introductory ride, but this didn't bother us as we're used to riding different horses and it was exciting to make a dash for the ferry before the weather closed in.

The scenery was breathtaking as before and it's excellent to ride across such a variety of terrain - the beaches are my favourite! I rode Percy (Persuasion) on the trail which was great fun and speedy!

We were in very safe, experienced hands with Tertia as lead guide, Jess and Alice as back up guides and Debs as driver. All were great fun to ride and spend time with.

We stayed 3 additional days so we got to experience some of the local routes and I got to ride 3 other horses -Tuwayisan especially was fantastic. This is such a beautiful part of the world and we will definitely return!

[ITS replies: Many thanks for your super feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed your return visit to the Wild Coast].

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The rooms were all cosy, comfortable and were with supplied extra blankets, tea/coffee facilities and drinking water. All hotels had great views - I loved the constant sound of the waves!

At the Guest Lodge, we stayed in the loft which was super comfortable and had the most amazing views from the deck. The food was plentiful and of a high standard - the food at the Guest Lodge was especially tasty.
