Welcome to Billabong Horseback Adventures & Cairns Horse Riding.
Billabong Horseback Adventures is located in on a private rainforest property in Kuranda, only a short 30 minute drive inland from Cairns in Far North Queensland.
We are a family owned and operated business, and are horse lovers, having spent may years of our lives around horses, not just riding, but also training, and teaching. Our passion for horses is what we want to share, and make your Cairns horse ride a rainforest horse riding experience, one to remember.
Since our establishment in mid 2008, we are rapidly becoming known as the premiere Cairns horse riding destination particularly for our small personalised groups, amazing rainforest trails, our very calm well cared for horses, as well as being family friendly, and having a positive focus on customer safety and satisfaction. We are the closest horse riding extablishment to Cairns itself, yet surrounded by an environment where you feel like being miles from anywhere!
Our property is a conservation neighbourhood that lies within a wildlife corridor which is habitat to many native animals such as the cassowary, bush turkey, wallaby, pademelon, and goannas, which roam free on the property. Other natural attractions include the giant Strangler Fig trees which are hundreds of years old, basket ferns, gum trees, termite mounds, and our tranquil Billabong which is home to water dragons, ducks, turtles, fish and eels. We also have our very own tame kangaroo sanctuary with feeding and photo opportunities available following all tour sessions.
Our rainforest horse riding tours operate daily, all year round. Tours are guided by professional horse trail riding guides with years of horse riding exprience, and a passion for horses in general. Our group sizes are small with a maximum of 6 riders per group. We cater for all riding abilities from beginners to professionals with a horse to suit everyone ranging from Stock Horses, Arabians, Quater Horses, Brumbies, and ponies suitable for small adults and children, as well as heavy horses for larger guests. Private tours are also available.
Our family friendly operation welcomes riders as young as 5 years of age to participate, with no previous horse riding experience required. All participants are provided with a safety breifing & short riding lesson prior to departing our base, and also fitted with Australian safety approved helmets.
Courtesy transfers from Cairns & Northern Beaches accommodation outlets are available to all travellers visiting Cairns.
