Our most popular ride, we will climb up to the Inverness ridge, about 1300 feet, passing a osprey nest. You will view the Olema valley as you pass through bay wood groves, ride among moss covered towering Douglas fir trees that reveal peeks of the pacific ocean to the west. The trail then drops down into the serenity of birch and alder forest along peaceful Olema creek.

Wildcat Beach Ride, approx. 6 hours
$180.00 per person

Minimum of five riders required
The Ride of your dreams! Climb through the forest over the Inverness ridge where the Farallon Islands point out the way to Wildcat beach. Here we will break for lunch (bring your own ) before heading down one of the most beautiful, remote white sand beaches in California to spectacular Alamere Falls. This is an experience you will treasure for a lifetime.
Private Rides
Private rides are ideal for those who desire a more personal setting
such as celebrating birthdays, anniversaries or honeymoons. They are preferred
by more experienced riders, as we can better tailor the ride to your level
of horsemanship. They are also utilized by those who desire to depart at
a custom time rather than at one of our regular departures. Our personal
guide will show you the way. A private ride makes a unique and special
gift!
Pony rides
Available all day
$15.00 each
Our gentlest horses and ponies take your young Buckaroos and Buckarettes on a hand-led ride around the Five Brooks pond where we will see a variety of Point Reyes wildlife, such as the Western Pond turtle, Great Blue Heron, and California Quail.
