Howqua Valley High Country Horse Ride


Experience the breathtaking beauty of Victoria’s High Country on a memorable two-night getaway featuring a full day of horseback riding through the spectacular Howqua Valley. The adventure begins with a relaxed Friday afternoon arrival, allowing guests to settle into the peaceful surroundings before preparing for an exciting journey across scenic mountain landscapes. Surrounded by natural beauty, the experience offers the perfect escape into one of Australia’s most picturesque regions.


The riding adventure begins after a hearty country breakfast, followed by a short drive to a historic high country farm where the trail starts. From there, riders set off through rolling hills, mountain tracks, and open countryside while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. Along the route, guests may encounter native wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, and a variety of colorful bird species, creating an authentic Australian bush experience. A picnic lunch at a traditional bush hut provides a relaxing break before continuing along peaceful creek beds and bridle trails.


After a rewarding day in the saddle, riders return to comfortable countryside accommodation nestled within the valley. Guests can unwind with a refreshing hot shower before enjoying a hearty roast dinner in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The tranquil setting offers the perfect opportunity to relax, reflect on the day’s adventure, and appreciate the peaceful surroundings of the High Country.


The following morning begins with a traditional country breakfast before riding to the renowned Kate Camerons Peak, famous for its connection to the classic "Man from Snowy River" film. Visitors can admire spectacular mountain views while standing near the location of the movie’s iconic riding scene. Suitable for adults and children with some riding experience, the Howqua Valley High Country Horse Ride combines scenic landscapes, wildlife encounters, and Australian heritage to create an unforgettable outdoor adventure.

My friend and I just completed the 5 day Howqua River ride. Michael was quick to respond to questions during the booking process which helped planning our travel either end and what to take. Just before the ride started the Vic heatwave was forecast so we were informed about the itinerary change of completing approx 5 hr daily rides in the cool of the morning, instead of being split rides, with the afternoons forecast to be very hot. This turned out to be a great decision for horse welfare as well as human welfare...enabling the group of 16 to completely relax, socialise and cool off in the river every day, needless to say we got to know every one on the ride very well and had so much fun. The amazing staff/guides pampered us the whole time with yummy and seemingly endless food and drinks. The scenery everyday was breath taking and varied from mountain ridges to lush river forests. The horses were perfectly matched to our individual riding experience and the guides [Lakota, Leah, Theo and Marley] were spot on with grouping people for trots and canters, keeping everyone safe and satisfied. The horses were in great condition and my steed Woody was my trusted partner just like Toy Story lol. Thanks for the memories and I'm sure we'll be back.

My husband and I just completed Watson’s 5 day Man From Snowy River Ride. Doing this has been a dream of mine for my whole life, and it was an amazing way to spend my 40th birthday. The staff takes EXCELLENT care of people and horses and are a joy to be around. We had the best food prepared for us, the accommodations were great, the scenery was incredible. This trip was above and beyond my expectations. I worried about my husband, as he doesn’t ride much, but his horse and the staff looked after him. My own mount Ozzie was sure footed and the best sort of trail partner. We can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you Michael, Aimee, Lakota, Grace & Martyn!

What an awesome experience!!! We did the 5 day ride for my wife’s 40th birthday and felt welcomed every minute. The staff was excellent!! Courteous, engaging, and accommodating even for not a horse person like myself 🤠 we saw so much wildlife, all the things in the movie, and had simply the best food, accommodations, and conversations anyone could ask for. We made Aussie friends for life!! And my horse Dallas took the best care of me!🐎 Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back next year.
