Bakers Beach Horse Riding

Set along the scenic coastline of Bakers Beach in Tasmania’s Narawntapu National Park, Cradle Country Adventures offers an invigorating horseback riding experience that connects riders with some of Australia’s most striking natural landscapes. Located at Bakers Beach Rd, this three- to five-hour tour threads through sprawling grasslands known for hosting wallabies, wombats, and Forester kangaroos. Riders receive a safety briefing and an introduction to their horse before setting off, ensuring riders of varied skill levels feel confident throughout.

What truly distinguishes this ride is the opportunity to canter along the pristine, untouched beach shores and, for the adventurous, the chance to swim alongside your horse in the cool Bass Strait waters. The ride also ventures through coastal bushland where stands of iconic Grass Trees punctuate the scenery, lending a uniquely Tasmanian character to the trail. Panoramic views stretch out over Narawntapu National Park, Bakers Beach, and the distant silhouettes of the Great Western Tiers including Mount Roland.

Cradle Country Adventures operates with an emphasis on safety and ecological respect, requiring valid Parks Passes for all participants in compliance with Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service regulations. All riders receive helmets, and expert guides tailor the excursion to each individual rider’s experience level. Thanks to its diverse terrain—from grassy plains to quiet beaches and native bush—this ride presents varied terrain and wildlife viewing opportunities that few other horseback adventures in Tasmania can match.

Positioned near Westbury, a short drive inland offers convenient access for visitors. Whether it’s a serene beach canter or a bushland amble, Bakers Beach Horse Riding offers a genuine connection to Tasmania’s coastal wilderness and native species worth adding to any outdoor travel itinerary.
