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.

I had a really great time. Although we were a large group, Lucy and Holly managed it perfectly and I felt perfectly safe. I could trot and canter. My horse was very motivated and sure-footed. The material is good quality. Landscape and lookouts are amazing!!

What an amazing experience! My ten years old daughter convinced me- I have never been on a horse before.But perfect Peanut was such a sweet and calm horse and let me feel confident. The trekking was awesome, with wonderful views and even the rain didn't disturb. My daughter fell in love with her horse, too and we had really a great time
Thank you, Lucy!

Amazing! What a day. Lucy is a fantastic guide. Lots of laughter and adventure. The views are spectacular. I highly recommend 2.5 hour trek for the best views.

I was nervous and Lucy put me at ease. My horse was Dallas and we were best mates by the end.

Wow! This was hands down our favorite New Zealand adventure! Lucy was an awesome guide, giving us local knowledge and history all throughout our ride. The horses were beautiful and perfectly matched for our riding ability. We did the 2.5 hour ride and it was so magical. Every time I thought we’d seen the most lovely sight, we’d crest another hill and another stunning expanse greeted us. We loved seeing the sheep and cows grazing throughout the fields. We were even able to canter a little which is always special. I cannot recommend this horse trek enough! We will absolutely be return customers!

Really great experience. Some awesome views of the lake and the pasture. You got to ride up to start then down at the end. Horses were easy to ride.

Apparently most clients are relative beginners to horse riding - and I’m sure the horses would take you around nicely if you are! If you’re a bit more experienced, the 2.5 hour ride is amazing - you get a pretty steep climb though rainforest and then, once you’re finally on top of the hill, you have a stunning view over Lake Okareka and Lake Tarawera and a few trot/canter spots. It’s our first time in Rotorua and we felt that this was one of the best and most memorable ways to experience New Zealand. What better can you ask for than seeing volcanic lakes and NZ heritage forest on horseback!
