Who is ready for a swim?☀️😎🏖

This is an unmissable extension to any African vacation or a horseback riding destination in its own right. The tropical colors of the sea must be seen to be believed.

When not exploring the coastline on horseback, relax and enjoy a spot of fishing, snorkeling on world-class coral reefs, or scuba diving

Thank you to Unicorn Trails rider Julie for the amazing photos and feedback from her recent adventures in Greenland!!
https://www.unicorntrails.com/europe/greenland/greenlandadventuretrail/

"A once in a lifetime opportunity to visit a beautifully preserved landscape and culture.

You experience the true Greenland with this tour. The host farming families were very welcoming and you spend a lot of time with them and their families, in their homes, sharing their facilities and learning all about their culture and way of life. They cooked us beautiful local dishes, and baked wonderful home made bread for our lunches. This trip is immersive in the Greenlandic culture; I felt very lucky to be welcomed into local homes and will remember well all those we met."

Julie has also kindly written a wonderful Blog about her trip - you can check it out here:

If you are interested in riding in Greenland in 2025 please do get in touch! - Sarah 🙂
