Picnic in the Blue Mountains after an exciting trail ride! The beautiful Megalong Valley has spectacular scenery you won't forget. Just two hours from Sydney, your horse riding adventure will take you through to a gazebo where you’ll enjoy a delicious picnic in the perfect setting.

During this exhilarating horse ride you will travel into deep gullies and along high ridges amid stunning scenery of lush pastures, rugged mountains and pristine wilderness.

If you’re looking for a real Australian experience, then this horse riding and private picnic is perfect for you. It is a great way to see the spectacular Blue Mountains and spend some quality time with a friend or partner.

This trail ride is perfect for beginners as we have over 100 horses of differing temperaments for you to choose from. When you arrive you will be matched with a horse that compliments your level of riding experience. At the guide’s discretion, more experienced riders may be able to break away from the group at intervals during the ride.

Your ride leaves from the farmyard and slowly meanders through paddocks, up along ridges, and then down through the wilderness.

You will see horses, cattle, sheep and dogs along the way. You may also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some of the native animals that live here – wallabies, kangaroos, goannas or even dingoes

The property is very large and is located in the heart of the World-Heritage listed Blue Mountains. Our guides are friendly, highly skilled and love the outdoors. They will thoroughly enjoy showing you around this unique and picturesque environment.

Your horse ride ends at a gazebo where a delicious picnic lunch will be set up for you. Your picnic will be a selection of cold meats, salads, cheese, crusty bread, apple pie and cream, fruit, and include wine, fresh juice and soda’s.

Sit back with and enjoy a few refreshments after your ride; look out over the beautiful Megalong Valley and reflect on your gorgeous day out!

This was a great experience and we enjoyed it very much. The horse ride was relaxing and so beautiful followed by a lovely picnic inside by a fire because it was cold outside. They were very accomodating and overall fantastic day. Would do it again if I could :)

My husband and I had a wonderful time. The homestead is a great place, with horses suitable both for experienced riders and beginners. The ride was very very relaxing, the staff was friendly , the picnic was a real treat! The only downfall - the two hours went too fast! We are definitely going back there! Great experience for everyone!
