It was a great experience for me and my wife. It was our first time on the horse and we were scared. The lady from the tour came and picked us from our hotel but when we reached the place, it was raining! We were offered to take back the fee and get dropped back to the hotel. But we... More

I was a bit dissapointed because we were not encourage to go trotting or cantering in our group. My family loved it, I was just looking for a bit more freedom to run. Lots of open space so why not. Magnificant scenery. Good value. The profits go to charity so they say. More

Loved the set up and the way the team deal with giving you an experience to rememeber. The wife wants to take up the sport and its to do with the way they professionally deal with novices. Added to that, the location is beautiful and close to town. Special thanks to Chloe who was superb. More

There are multiple companies that take guest for horse back riding. We decided to go with this company based on the proximity to the Queenstown. Most others company are 45 min away from the Queenstown, this is only 15 min away. We really enjoyed our trek, the horses were well behaved and trained. We did the Moke lake trail which... More

Completed the 1.5 hour Moke Lake trip with family. Was a great way to see some of the Queenstown country side - I wish now I'd chosen a longer treck. Free hotel pick up and only 20 mins from the heart of Queenstown. Great email service to organise. Friendly, experienced guide. All happy to help out with my family;s individual... More

We had an awesome trip, the horses are wonderful and are all well behaved but with personality! We went on the Moke Lake 1h30mins trip None of us had any experience with horses but that was no problem. The guide was brilliant and answered all our questions about the horses which was really interesting. The scenery really is beautiful in... More

We did the shorter Moke Lake trek on a lovely sunny day. The trip includes free transport to/from Queenstown. The horses were all well behaved and seemed very well looked after. Scenery was very nice, but I think you need to do one of the longer treks if you're after a bit of variety (the Moke Lake trek just goes... More

I picked this company to go with because it had the lowest price for a horse ride 80$ (around 50$ less than any other company). Also, the money you pay goes for breast cancer in NZ. The experience was great. It was my first time on a horse and although I was scared the horse (Morgan) was really good. The... More

What an amazing experience! We went on a sunny day . The scenery was spectacular, very lord of the rings like. It was one of my first times on a horse and the guide kindly explained the basics. We were also instructed how to go fast if we wanted. I would definitely recommend this activity. Proximity to town was also... More
