Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Everything about the beach ride at Zephyr was fantastic. Camille our instructor greeted us with enthusiasm so I knew instantly it was going to be fun. The horses were keen and lovable, the beach was deserted and spectacular. We enjoyed every moment and I will never forget my first beach ride. I look forward to coming back in the future.

My kids were not overly impressed when we told them we had to be up at 5am for our sunrise ride at 5.45am. The teens especially. However, they were all in complete agreement that this was a real highlight on our trip. Guides Camille and Jasper looked after us and we’re friendly, reassuring, informative and lovely company! They allocated the horses to us based on size and temperament. They were all so calm and well behaved- as beginners we really did not have to do much!
The ride lasted for 2 hours and was spectacular. A beautiful route through the forest spotting Kookaburras and wallabies before opening out onto the beach to watch the sun come up- simply wonderful.
Camille took my 10 year old on his horse into the sea which he loved. We all felt very safe at all times and even had a go at trotting on the way back.
The guides took plenty of photos for us which was really appreciated. Not having the distraction of a camera/phone enabled us to really enjoy the experience. The photos taken for us were perfect.
I would not hesitate to recommend this experience for all ages and abilities. It really was a highlight for us.

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary by doing the bush & pub tour. Grace was our head guide and was amazing, she was even so kind to clear all of the spider webs along the way. The service the guides provided was impeccable. Thank you to all of the guides and Maresy & Fireball (FB) for creating such an amazing memory for us. It is truely a day I will never forget.

We had the most magical sunrise beachride with Britt and Grace. They really accommodated all rider abilities, from my 7 year old niece's first riding experience, to allowing me to canter on the beach. Highly recommended for a great family experience.

Our guides Joel and Lisa were fantastic! Always making sure we knew what we were going to do and offering the best experiences for us- a little trot or cnter based on our experience. The horses were beautiful and so well behaved for new riders.

I always research riding stables to make sure I will be able to do more than just walk nose to tail. Zephyr horses lived up to its previous reviews. I did the two hour trail ride through the forest to the beach. There were only three of us on the ride. The scenery was spectacular and emerging from the forest over the sand dune onto the beach was just stunning. The horses were beautiful. We walked, trotted and cantered. Although we only cantered in the woods and not on the beach . Jasper was our guide and the owner Kate took photos on the beach that we were then able to download for free. Overall it was a great experience that I would definitely recommend.

Hi,
We are located at the end of Bayshore Drive, Byron Bay (out the back of the arts and industry estate, just past Elements Resort). It’s approximately a 5-10 minute drive from the centre of town.
A taxi will cost about $10-$15. There is also now the Solar Train from town which will drop you off a 5 minute walk from us. Alternatively, it’s a 1 hour walk (approx) along Ewingsdale road to us.
Cheers!
is the forest ride recommended for kids? age 9 and 7 height of 140 and 120? and is the rides available in August as well?

Hi Candy, Yes for ki's that age we recommend the 1 hour forest trail ride, however they will still also be able to do the 1.5 hour forest to beach ride. These rides will be available throughout August. Please email us for a ride schedule. Thank you.
Can we canter and or gallop as we are experienced riders? We don’t want to just stroll along the beach

Hey Debbie, Yep, even on our mixed experience group tours you will have the opportunity to canter, however not all parts of the track are suitable for fast-paced riding in groups. We also offer private tours if you want to set your own pace! :) Dave

Hi! Please wear long pants and enclosed shoes. We also recommend bringing sun cream (if it’s hot!) and a rain jacket (if it looks like it might be wet!). We supply helmets (note Helmets are compulsory). We also have some riding boots available but please bring enclosed flat shoes.
