Experience the untamed beauty of the Eastern Cape coast with Papiesfontein Beach Horse Rides, just outside Jeffreys Bay. This unforgettable adventure takes riders across 15 kilometres of rolling dunes, open fields, and wild coastline — a landscape that captures the true spirit of freedom.

Your journey begins inland, winding through scenic bush trails and sandy dunes before descending toward the river mouth. From there, the wide stretch of unspoilt beach opens up before you — six kilometres of pristine coastline where you can let your horse stretch out into a thrilling gallop or simply enjoy a peaceful trot along the water’s edge.

Intermediate and advanced riders will find this route ideal for an exhilarating challenge, while beginners are also welcome during quieter times, with guidance and support provided throughout the ride.

Papiesfontein’s trail offers more than just spectacular scenery — it’s a sensory escape into nature, where the sound of crashing waves, the scent of sea air, and the sight of galloping horses against the backdrop of endless blue sky create a truly South African riding experience.
