Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty making it an ideal location for a horse riding holiday. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to deserted beaches beaches, perfect for a riding holiday. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.
Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next will have to re-think their grasp of geography in this huge country. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia - and its diverse population - much of its character.
However everyone who visits Australia should get into the bush or outback and onto the famous beaches. A cattle ranch stay is also highly recommended. Of course a horseback holiday is one of the very best ways to experience this natural beauty.
We have a superb ride in New South Wales called Bush and Beach. You ride in spectacular diverse scenery - through forests, up mountains, on glorious beaches and in the rainforest.
Choosing rides from our huge range of horse riding holidays can be a challenge in itself and you may find yourself going into overload with all these fabulous holidays, but we can help you to narrow down your choice. You may already know which regions and countries you are interested in. However check out our ride category selector.
So as you can see there is something for everyone. WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!
Don't forget we can always arrange an extension to the riding element of you holiday. You may like us to suggest something or perhaps you have your own ideas. Whether it's time to relax on a beautiful beach, explore an area or try something more active such as white water rafting, we will be delighted to make the arrangements for you.
*We'll confirm your places and booking within 24 hours!
