South Africa, Sunshine Coast

If you want to experience an exciting ride along "The Sunshine Coast", this is unbeatable.

Along with Jono and his endurance horses, many raised himself, you can canter for miles (without exaggeration) along pristine beaches. Jono is an experienced endurance rider who has lived here most of his life. He has a passion for maintaining and preserving wildlife, which makes him a fascinating guide.

You ride between 17 and 30 km (10-19 miles) per day, so it's important to be in good shape.

The tide plays an important role on this trail ride. In some parts you need to swim with your horse, which is a new and very fun experience for most riders.

Cozy picnics with time for a dip in the ocean provide much needed rest for weary riding muscles.

Besides the beaches, you ride through green valleys, along cliffs and through farmland. Some days you may encounter wildlife such as kudu, monkeys and antelopes. You will also visit the small charming coastal towns on the way and a game drive with more wildlife and have the chance to see the "Big Five".

You spend the nights in a safari tented camp and at various beach beach houses or guesthouses, each with its own story to tell.

After a long day in the saddle and a good meal, it is easy to get stuck with a glass of wine in front of the campfire and enjoy all the exotic sounds.
