What travellers are saying
- Marlene S116 contributionsLearning more about penguins was very interesting but this location and staff are responsible for rescued penguins. This is a free activity and so worthy of sharing more knowledge on the dangers to this incredible animal, you won’t be disappointed especially if you can catch their feeding time.Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BOFA BOYBridge of Allan, UK1,410 contributionsWe were staying at Whale Huys and decided to walk along the cliff top path to the caves which was well worth it. One of the caves is currently being converted into two underground swimming pools. Well worth a visit.Written 17 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Britt M2 contributionsThis is the second hardest review, i ever had to write. Because this experience meant so much to me.
From the first whatsapp messages i felt well taken care of Sarah. I am no full beginner, but far away from a good rider and i got nerves. I had goals for these rides, lucky me i booked two rides a few days apart. I was so nervous on the first (which was still the most lovely outride), but wow, i got the whole experience on the second run.
Sarah and Kos are amazing, so many laughs. Their Volunteers are fun, their staff is lovely. Sarah does not only have the highest respect and love for her animals, but a very tuned antenna for her guests. She saw where i was struggling and just knew where she could push me a bit further. Whereever you are in your riding journey, she will pick you up right there and show you the way to take it to the next step.
Bathing with the horses was definitely a once in a lifetime experience (just see the plenty of pics... they are not lying), but that Sarah took me onto the run through the dunes on my second ride, is the stuff my dreams are made of since that day.
THANK YOU.
I most definitely will be back soon.Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
