My partner and I had the most amazing morning at Gunnamatta trail rides. They were very accommodating and made us both feel very comfortable having never been horse riding before!
The instructors were lovely and we got great photos on the beach!
Great experience, highly recommend.
My partner and I enjoyed the experience very much. The quick training session was enough to send us on our way. The horses know the trail so the only skill needed as a beginner rider is riding while the horse is trotting.
Absolutely horrible management. They run the place like a scammy business and not what a service provider should do.
My girlfriend and I paid for an expensive service as you can check on their website, and we were late by 10 minutes due to the traffic (We have to come all the way from the city). But we informed them early that we will be slightly late, which they did confirm and told us to keep driving there. But when we arrive, they simply told us that we were late so they dismissed our service. No money refunded, no voucher, nothing at all. And they still talk to us like we owe them more money. Absolutely disgusting attitude.
We also checked out the track that they go on. Definitely overrated and not 'fantasy experience that you need once in your lifetime'. Don't waste your money on this.
This walk is advertised on the website as a "mesmerising" beach walk in which we "explore the coastal bushland as soon as you leave Gunnamatta stables, then traverse the high sand dunes overlooking the expansive wide panoramic ocean view."
In fact of a 2 hour ride, 90m minutes was spent walking along a main road with traffic often drowning out words from instructors, before finally getting to the beach and spending a total of 10-15 minutes on the beach.
I have attached a photo which is a better representation of the walk than the beach photos seen on the website.
While the staff were attentive and organised, and the horses in excellent condition, I felt the description of the walk was therefore misleading and disappointing. Paying around $500 for myself and 2 children to spend 10 min on the beach was a bit of a let down.
Everything is nice, except the weather is way too hot. Horses are very calm and controllable, even beginner can ride well. And instructors are really helpful. They teach us how to ride horses easily and also take care of horses. All the way to the st Andrew beach, the view is spectacular. Amazing experience!
I bought my girlfriend a private ride for her birthday last year. She injured her back and could not go so we had to re-book. In that time she unfortunately had to go have SURGERY and has only just recovered enough to go riding.
We called only to be told the owner will no longer allow her to ride because too much time has passed! He will only offer 25% discount on another ride if we choose to go again.
We were NEVER told there was an expiration date on when we could re-book and considering what my girlfriend has gone through we thought that they would choose kindness over money. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Please do not book with these people. There are many other places you can go that treat people with love not greed!
