Magnetic Island, Townsville
I'm not a big fan of horse riding but this experience is one not to miss! It starts with a little trek on horseback through the bushes until we arrive to a beautiful beach. Whilst on the beach, we get to ride on the sand until we are asked to unsaddle and get in the ocean riding the horse bareback. You can feel the horse enjoys this moment as much as you do!
