Must visit

It was a really enjoyable ride, the view was fantastic especially when the sun came out. Staff members are really friendly. I would recommand people leaving from Auckland to leave slightly earlier because it was kinda far. Would definitely like to visit again.

Very enjoyable day

The sun was shinning and no one fell off! It was my first time horse riding and I went along with my fiance as she loves horses. I had a really great day and the horses were very well behaved and easy to control.
