Three Sisters Horse Trails near Port Alfred, Sunshine Coast

The two day horse safari trail includes a 3 hour ride on day 1 to tree-house accommodation with braai facilities and hammocks in a huge old yellowwood tree overhanging a natural pool in the forest-lined Riet River. Day two is a two hour ride back along the Kleinemonde River after breakfast at the treehouse. Bring swimming costumes – you will certainly want to take a dip in the river after the first’s day’s ride.
