Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely amazing experience! Partner and I did the camel ride on Amy with the unforgettable Xav who was very knowledgeable of the camels and an excellent tour guide during our ride.
We also did the hour trail ride with Sarah and Lily who made sure we were set up on Magic and Raff before taking off. During the ride, they were constantly checking in to make sure all riders were ok. We even got to do a few trots throughout the ride with instructions given to those who haven’t done this before. Again both were very knowledgeable. Only let down was not taking a walk through the creek.
Back in town, we finished the day with a carriage ride led by Darren with Blue and Roy. Thought the ride would be longer for the price but still a great experience.

On a recent stay in Echuca after doing the paddle steamer cruise, we decided to take the Billabong Ranch horse and carriage ride, which does a circle from the Discovery Centre around the block and takes around 15 minutes. We found the driver very hospitable and he answered all the questions we had. We enjoyed it very much and the horses were friendly and pattable.

Today it was a perfect day to try something new. We were in Echuca for holiday and went to the billabong ranch. I am a city kid and know not so many things from a farm. After today I know a lot more of living outside. The camel and horse ride were fantastic because the crew gave a good assistance during the ride. The Billabong staf was very friendly and answer all my (silly) questions..
The butter Chicken as meal was delicious.
I will return to do more things, like bungee jump, the archery and feeding the animals

We laughed so hard during the mini golf, easy but fun. Played frisbee golf, fed the animals, kayaking and pedal boats. The food was good, the staff are super friendly and smiling all the time! Love it. A short trip from Echuca and a short drive on a dirt road, but worth it.

The trail ride horses were perfect for beginners, we could probably have used a little more energy and speed given our previous experience but were satisfied that everyone had fun and were safe. The camels were a great experience, with an entertaining chat while we enjoyed our camel trek. We did pony rides, mini golf, archery, pedal boats, wall climbing, bungee trampolines and more. It was a fantastic day with something for everyone. The highlight however, was the staff! Such enthusiastic and engaging people who went out of their way to make sure we were having fun. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a fun day out. Our party had kids from 19 months through to 16 years and even the grandparents came along and had an amazing time. Thank you Billabong ranch.

Here, I got to tick a little thing off my bucket list – horse riding for the first time. I chose the 2-hour trail ride and was not disappointed. Excellent staff, very safety conscious. They love their horses, and it shows. They picked a horse for me named Harva – suitable for a nervous beginner (she was adorable).
Also, this is the company that operates the carriage rides over at the Port of Echuca. $10 for around 10 minutes might sound expensive but imagine the overheads they must have. It’s worth the cost (and cheaper for a family). No need to book, just rock up with cash on the day, as long as the weather isn’t too hot for the horses, they’ll be there.
Both of these experiences were fantastic, and I’d happily go again. Thank you to Delilah, Roxy and ccrew for everything!

This was so disappointing. $80 fo 2 children and it was over in less than an hour. Bouldering was done without any safety aspects. As was the peddle boats. No staff member to supervise life jackets, or use/misuse of boats. The Bungy trampoline was really only high enough for small children- bigger ones in Melbourne shopping centres. The Archery was the worst with 10 arrows for $10. Same shooting distance for children and adults, which is obviously not suitable. Staff member gave generalised instructions to 2 adults and 2 children- one only 8 years old. Finally deigned to help out the child when he had used 8 arrows with no success. Really badly organised and overpriced benue

My family and I are on a late holiday and came out to the ranch and were greeted by Kat.
She went over and above to ensure we were all well looked after and gave us everything we needed to know and ensure we had a great time.
The other team members were all also very friendly and great with our 3 kids.
I will definitely be back next time we are in the area and will encourage any one who is in Echuca to make sure they visit.
Thank you for a fantastic day!

Had a lovely weekend here with my boyfriend. The staff and owners were friendly and made it an experience to remember. There were lots of activities to keep us busy, like mini-golf and archery indoors, as well as outdoor activities like bungee and trail rides. The animal nursery had a good mix of farm animals and pets and the food from the fun park was great. I was impressed by the array of things to suit everyone's tastes, age, ability and weather conditions. I'm looking forward to going on a camel ride and doing frisbee golf next time I'm there.

We had a fantastic time at the billabong ranch & were so well looked after by all the staff. We had a group of 5 kids, aged 2 through to 7, and all had a ball on the pony rides, pedal boats, animal nursery, trampolines and playground. Will definitely be back next visit to Echuca!
