Port Vila Horse Trek

OVERVIEW

Ride horseback through a lush rainforest and on to a beautiful stretch of sand, where you will have the opportunity to swim in the sea with your horse. The venue for this adventure will be Club Hippique, the last word in its name meaning “equestrian” in French, one of the three official languages on Vanuatu. During the introductory briefing, you will be paired with a horse that suits your riding ability and level of confidence. Then, off you will ride, following the guide through a former plantation and a serene rainforest. Your destination will be Erakor Point, a laid-back idyllic setting that a sugar-white beach rims. Feel free to tether your horse and simply relax at your leisure or ride bareback into the sea. Your horse is used to swimming, which will make the experience all the more pleasurable. Keep an eye out for dugongs, a marine mammal much like a manatee often spotted in these waters.
