Includes a short walk where you’ll learn about the flora, fauna and rich history of the area as well as a 4 wheel drive coach rider through the above movie locations.

Water activities not your thing? Enjoy a gentle horse ride instead through breath taking scenery in the stunning Dart Valley. 1 hour and 2 hour options available.
