Tassie Tiger Trail horse riding experience
Trust us, once you bite into the Apple Isle, you’ll want to pack your bags and move there. Discover for yourself what makes the island of Tasmania so magical by exploring its rugged mountain ranges, pristine beaches and enchanted forests from the back of a horse.
With Quamby Bluff as the backdrop, your hosts Jeremy and Jenny from Gem Farm welcome you to mount up on their fit-as-a-fiddle endurance horses and explore the never-ending forestry trails, which traverse through countryside, alongside waterfalls and through 300-year-old rainforest as part of the famous Tasmanian Trail.

This five day, four-night itinerary is ideal for experienced horse riders as well as beginners and is a hit among families and couples wanting to explore the island at a slower pace. No two days are the same—from riding to a salmon farm and savouring Tasmania’s gourmet delights, to loping along a pristine coastline beneath a cloudless sky.
On day four of the itinerary riding guests head to the beach of the famous Narantapu National Park—Tasmania’s smallest national park and the only one where horses are allowed access to its trail and 16-km stretch of beach. The wildlife is prolific: wombats and wallabies escort you to the beach, and dolphins frolic in the waves in front.

Your chefs will collect fresh abalone and oysters for a seafood extravaganza dinner that night. On route to the beach guests will have the opportunity to experience the very best of Tasmania's cuisine. You’ll visit the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm, Ashgrove Cheese, House of Anvers Chocolate Factory and Honey Farm. Talk about foodie heaven!
First-time visitor to Tasmania, Rachel Bridger, loved the Tassie Tiger Trail horse ride: “A fabulous few days—delightful hosts, beautiful horses, interesting rides, gorgeous scenery and yummy food. Even the weather was kind. All over too soon."
We believe there is no better way to discover the bush land, beaches and the world-famous food than from the back of a well-educated, endurance horse. Giddy up!

With passionate guides who are infatuated with their island home and a fleet of beautiful purebred and part-bred Arabian horses, your horseriding holiday to the Apple Isle will be one to treasure for years to come.
