Waimak River Riding Centre is a family-run operation and is the closest horse trek business to Christchurch city.
Located within the Christchurch City limits you can be forgiven for thinking you are in the middle of nowhere. The lower reaches of the Waimakariri River are noted for their large braided river beds, bird colonies and stunning glacial blue waters!.
Our trails take you past the patchwork paddocks and hedge windbreaks typical of the Canterbury plains, through the lush foliage of the woodlands next to the river and out onto the expansive river bed. With the river permitting we will guide you through the crystal clear waters where we can water the horses and enjoy the unique sensation of river crossing on horseback.
Twice as much to see and experience on this two-hour ride! We have horses to suit all abilities so you can choose the pace that suits you (a leisurely stroll or trot /canter) and soak up the stunning scenery and great riding spaces along the Waimakariri River.
Our experienced guides will lead the way through this beautiful area and take photo's along the wayand will be sent to your email address.

nice trek with an excellent guide
I had a good time on the 2 hrs horse trek as it was only me and the guide. My horse Blacky was easy to ride and I could go for some trots and awesome canters. The guide Alisa was informative and took care of me really well.

Horse Track - sehr zu empfehlen
Wir waren zu viert unterwegs und es hat super Spaß gemacht. Die Pferde werden gut behandelt und waren sehr pflegeleicht und entspannt

Sehr entspannter Ausritt
Ein sehr schöner Ausritt durch den Wald und am Fluss entlang in der Nähe von Christchurch. Alles war super. Die Pferde waren sehr lieb und unsere beiden Begleitungen ebenfalls. Nur die Besitzerin hätte ein wenig freundlicher mit Personal und Kunden umgehen können.

Amazing tour guide and was an enjoyable ride however it would have been nice to have a little variety to do more than just walk the entire ride and the two hour trek did become a little boring just walking. At the end they didn't treat us with a hot drink and biscuit (please bring some water and snacks for yourself, will keep you happy after 2 hours)
