2h – Evening & Moonlight Trail

Franschhoek

Activity Description

Have you always dreamt of riding off into an African sunset? That is precisely what we do on this evening & moonlight trail. Planned around the full moon, it is a truly unique way to explore the area at a gentle pace allowing you to take in the breathtaking views and magnificent sunsets at the historic Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, and neighbouring farms nestled in the foothills of the Simonsberg in South Africa’s most celebrated Franschhoek wine valley. The speed of this ride will depend on your riding abilities, but the beauty of the African skies will not disappoint. We will stop at the lookout point for some lovely Sundowners and snacks to enjoy another Gorgeous day in Africa and the ultimate African Sunsets. The duration of this ride is 2hrs.

The law prohibits the sale of alcohol to a minor (anyone under the age of 18 years). It is not prohibited for minors to buy, attempt to buy or consume alcohol.

Notes

Please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your time slot begins to ensure your indemnity is completed and you receive the safety briefing.

Any riders arriving late will forfeit time out of their booking. A minimum of 2 riders is required for a ride to go out. Group size limited to 15 riders. For larger parties, please contact us so we can accommodate your needs. No under 8’s on horses. This service is weather dependent. All of our trails are led by experienced guides, ensuring a safe and memorable experience. We are conscious about the environment, we respect nature and adhere to strict operating guidelines to protect the amazing space we operate in.

We do not allow any rider over 95kg on a horse, or any rider over 110kg on a quad bike, and reserve the right to put a rider on a scale should we feel that they are over the weight limit. If you are over the weight limit when making the booking you will not be liable for a refund.

The Horse Drawn Carriage is a great option for persons over 100kg, but we do need to be notified in advance to ensure there is space on our carriage.

All riders are required to wear a helmet. Helmets are tight fitting; please note that wigs or extensions can cause the helmets to not fit. Therefore, we request that all riders have their hair in a practical hairstyle when coming for horse or quad bike riding as no one will be allowed out without a helmet. If you have any concerns about the above restriction, we recommend booking a carriage ride and/or a glamorous photoshoot instead.

I warrant that I’m free of any drugs and / or alcohol.
Indemnity forms must be completed with the same particulars as per ID or passport document.
Valid ID, Passport, or driver’s license must be supplied on arrival.
