Blazing Saddles Adventures - Yorkeys Knob, Queensland

Did the ATV (quad bike) and Horse ride package. Man I'm going to sleep well tonight! Picturesque country with plenty of native birds, butterflies and you beaut Brumbies. Nestled in amoungst cane fields 15 minutes from Cairns it feels miles from anywhere and even comes with a billabong complete with salt water crocodile. I rode a horse called Peter who loyally followed the leader Lolly and was very patient with me. The ATV was dusty and muddy so ladies, forget about looking pretty, you're going to get grubby! Muck in a enjoy the ride! Michael took us through lots of mud, cane fields and rough terrain. It was my first time and I'm not embarrassed to admit I'm a bit sore now. It's a pretty full on day and I'd recommend long pants and long sleeves for going through the cane as well as being out in the sun. (sunscreen was provided). I'd also recommend a cap and sun glasses. All loose items such as mobile phones, car keys etc are left in a secure lock box at reception. Totally recommend leaving everything behind as one lady did lose an item on the horse ride. Most days a photographer tags along so you can immerse yourself in the experience and get the most out of it. Michael took pics today as well as guided the tours. It's a really full day and I'd totally recommend it for families as well as corporate functions. The staff are great, the horses are gorgeous and the disconnect from mobile phones etc and just being outside is fantastic.

Highly recommend! So much fun! Great views, lovely staff, and awesome activities. The ponies are smart and docile. Riding an ATV is super! Both activities are safe and interesting. It was raining a little bit when we were riding the horse, but that made the views even better. The grass, bush, and lake are so beautiful. And when we were riding the ATV, it was muddy but that's where the fun is. Don't miss it!

Loads of fun. Got on the first morning run before it got to hot. Great mix of fields to go through with dusty parts to slide out and muddy bits to flick mud around.

Bring a change of clothes for when you're done and some sunnies or goggles for the ride. Helmet provided along with sunscreen and bug repellent. Some gumboots and old sunnies available if you get in early.

I highly recommend this place.
When you think you have nothing to do in Cairns while it’s raining 🌧 this is a must for horse riding. They pick you up and take you out to the range and the horses are all ready for your ride. Doing this in the rain was such a unique experience and our tour guide was so lovely. At the end you can buy photos taken of you during the ride. Must do!

Highly recommend Blazing Saddles for everybody to try!
My brothers and I did the quad biking experience, and we enjoyed it so much, we went back a second time 2 days later!
The staff are brilliant to deal with, the experience is amazing, and the staff are quite accommodating to your needs. If you want to go slow, they're very patient, will help you out and keep you guided. If you want to go faster, they'll be there to give you a brilliant experience, all the while keeping you safe.
Thank you very much guys!!
