Half Day Experience

Your unforgettable four-hour equestrian journey begins with a genuine connection. You will meet your gentle horse, learning to groom its coat and saddle up in preparation for the adventure ahead. This hands-on start builds a unique bond before you even set foot in the stirrups. Once ready, you and your guide will venture out into a spectacular backyard, a landscape waiting to be discovered from a unique perspective. The trek takes you through a world of natural contrasts as you explore this beautiful destination. You will navigate trails that wind through serene native bush, its ancient trees providing a peaceful canopy. The path then opens up into vast, impressive pine plantations, showcasing the diverse scenery of the region. The ascent leads to a famous local lookout, where you can pause and soak in breathtaking panoramic views. The journey continues as you descend from the heights, making your way towards the crystal-clear Waimarino River for a truly memorable experience. The highlight for many is the refreshing river crossing. Experience the incredible sensation of guiding your horse across the gentle currents and even swimming alongside your trusted companion in the cool waters. After this exhilarating moment, you will ride back to base, feeling accomplished. The experience concludes as you untack and groom your horse, a perfect way to thank them for the journey. Finally, relax and reflect on your incredible day while enjoying a specially prepared lunch.
