Horseback Adventures on Durban’s Stunning Beaches

Just 20 minutes south of Durban lies Warner Beach, one of the wide, golden stretches that make KwaZulu-Natal’s coastline so famous. Here, Gary’s Beach Horse Rides has been offering unforgettable beach riding experiences since 2002. With a team of beautifully maintained, beach-loving horses, riders of all abilities can enjoy the thrill of trotting or galloping along pristine sands.

The stables are set on a scenic track through coastal dunes, giving riders time to settle in before reaching the beach. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced equestrian, Gary and his team ensure you are matched with the perfect horse. For younger riders or those feeling nervous, lead reins are available to make the experience safe and enjoyable.

Rides range from gentle guided sessions to more adventurous outrides, where competent riders can feel the exhilaration of a trot or gallop on the soft sands. With 24 well-trained horses, there’s always the perfect match for each guest, making it easy to enjoy a personalised and safe ride.

Gary’s Beach Horse Rides is the ideal way to experience the beauty of Durban’s coastline, taking in the warm Indian Ocean, scenic dunes, and fresh sea breeze—all from the back of a horse. Whether it’s a family outing, a solo adventure, or a romantic ride along the beach, this is the ultimate way to explore the area.
