Great day spent horse riding through the rainforest, amazing experience recommended to all. Very friendly staff and tour guide, and views that are breathtaking. The only thing they could have done better was lunch, we had hotdogs that we made ourselves and it was on a table uncovered. Perhaps a spread of covered sandwiches and tropical fruit would have been... More

It was awesome! I love horses and those horses are fantastic and very well looked after. When I first booked the horse riding with the caravan park i'm staying i was told that the horse riding is cancelled because I was the only booking for the selected day. A couple of hours later I was told that they now got... More

I was determined on the night before my flight home to SA to go horseback riding in Cairns. I called at 7pm that night and spoke to the lovely owners of Billabong Horseback Adventures to see if they could cater to my request. My flight out was at 1:10pm the next day. They were so accomodating and made my last... More

We've done two trail riding tours during our stay in Cairns, one of them with Billabong Horseback Adventures. We can honestly say that our experience with Billabong Horseback Adventures in comparison was nothing less than professional, very safety focused, and an overall extremely enjoyable experience for all of us. Our transfer from our accommodation was on time, the driver was... More

Came out for a ride with Billabong Horse Rides after picking up their brochure at the hotel. The product was exactly as described, the rainforest scenery was stunning, and their horses very well cared for, and just perfect for us (raw beginners). Our guide Laura was very professional, and told us a lot of interesting facts about the rainforest. We... More

Just arrived back from our afternoon ride with Billabong Horse Rides. Our guide, Tom, was just fantastic with the horses. He had a very calm, gentle and kind manner with the horses, and the horses were willing but easy to ride, and very well cared for. My horse, Xena, was lovely, and a real pleasure. Our afternoon started when we... More

We have ridden a few times with Billabong Horseback Adventures, and each time we have had a marvellous time riding through creeks, forest and to see beautiful scenery. My youngest daughter was 5 when we first rode with Jo, who was extremely encouraging and safety minded, and whose clear instructions gave Grace the confidence to ride on her own towards... More
