Sample day activities
Your first ride takes you down to the ghost ship Alkimos with lunch on a deserted beach.
Some day treks take you down towards the beach and along the coast in a large circular tour, you may also see Kangaroos, Emus or even an occasional Wedge Tail eagle floating almost aimlessly on the thermal air currents. If you are really lucky sometimes we see the Eagles catch an unfortunate rabbit for lunch. Lunch is usually near the beach at Lagoon Kiosk with time for a short swim at the Yanchep Lagoon beach on a hot day this is really welcome so don't forget your bathers, then its off to Yanchep National Park for the Aboriginal Heritage tour. A lesson in tool making in and around the Balga Mia village. A permanent demonstration site within the Yanchep National Park.
The Twilight Rides are world renown. The rides leave about 1 and half hours before sunset so you can watch the ever-changing hues as the sun slowly slides beyond the distant horizon. What a perfect way to end the day - a quiet stroll down to the beach on a horse or camel, watch the sun slowly set into the Indian Ocean.
Optional excursions (seasonal):
There is the option for a 4 wheel drive tour exploring more hidden trails and beaches to the north, with a visit to the Pinnacle Desert, a natural phenomenon about 150 miles north of Perth. We travel north through Lancelin then we explore the fishing settlement of Wedge Island and drive along the beach.
Riding/Canoeing Excursion:
The trip heads to Moore River traveling north through the small township of  Two Rocks then along deserted beaches and hidden trails, reaching Moore River in the late afternoon. Spend the night sleeping in a genuine Australian shearing shed, or under the stars. Aussie swags supplied for sleeping, no need to bring your own sleeping bags. The next day you explore the Moore River by Canadian Canoe. No white water but a pleasant river to explore with about 10 miles of navigable water.
The next day you return to the stables via an inland trail which follows the western boundary of the Yanchep National Park and the old Wanneroo Stock Route. The trail takes the riders through some interesting bush land varying from open coastal dunes to high Tuart forest which is a haven for all kinds of wildlife, especially kangaroos and emus.
Camel Rides
If you have never ridden a camel before we can offer you a first experience in Camel Trekking. A short one Hour Camel Trek along some very scenic bush trails south of Yanchep and for the more adventurous try the "2UP" Beach Ride, a two hour trek down to a deserted beach.

The list goes on and on, but you can choose the ride best for your needs from the drop down list below. Each page will give you a full description of the ride. Take home some holiday experiences you will remember for a long time.

Local beach:

A Scene from paradise? Not really - this is the local beach - Yanchep Lagoon at low tide, showing the natural swimming pool to the right of the picture with the breakers gently rolling in over the natural Lagoon reef. A safe place to swim, a delightful place to snorkel and an unreal place to body surf on the right tide.

Best time to go:
If are planning a trip to Perth or Western Australia don't forget the best months to visit are normally between March and November. It may be a little wet in July and August but you will miss most of the high summer temperatures.
