Great for those that are adventurous. Simon our guide was very chilled, laid back, fun. We unfortunately got hit by a blizzard and around minus 25˚C but we knew the conditions on that day and we aware - also knew we would be in good hands. We got snow, wind, sun the works - awesome! Quad Bikes were great and handled all the terrains, steep hills, slight cambers, up and down. One of our best tours/experiences as local Kiwis!

One of the best highligts of our trip! Such a thrilling, but worth it experience!

The owner/tour guide was awesome. Our safety was top priority! The experience and panoramic views were outstanding. Highly recommend people to do this. Happy customer.

It was such a great experience that I won't forget where you drive the quad bike up to the mountains throughout the farms till you reach the highest peak on the mountain where it literally snows and the time we reached there it was snowing and it was the best experience of my life. I'm more than happy to do this again with my family and would highly recommend to anyone who is just wanting to get some adventure. Our host was amazing and she made sure that I was comfortable riding the quad bike. The photos you see is real and that's what you will see and person which is just unreal. 5/5

It was the most fun activity I did while on my stay in Queenstown!! 100% would recommend , felt super safe and went all the way to the top! Amazing 360 views!

Amazing guide Tim. Unbelievable views. So much fun riding in the snow. Such a beautiful country NZ is. Will def bring the kids back for the experience. We were lucky to get a great discounted price with book me but I would not hesitate in paying for full price for this life time experience. Thank you.

We had so much fun Nordic skiing, the tracks were awesome, and many, the staff were great, and it was a well spent day and value for money.

Me and my four mates, our first time quad biking didn’t know it was that simple. But definitely a must do activity, very fun when with a lot of people. Stuffs were very kind and cool. I would definitely do this again .

Pretty good experience, would definitely go again. Not much people go there so that’s good. We had a Toyota Corolla make it up the hills with no problems without the chains.

Big day of family fun in the sun! No lifts or crowds, plenty of space, an epic view and a scenic drive. Our 4wd had no worries on the well maintained, wide dirt road and ample parking is at the door. The 3 and 5 year olds had a great time at Mini Merinos while hubby and I squeezed in a beginner lesson. Lots of little kids there being towed in trailers and playing in the snow zone. Took about 30mins on the 13km winding drive from Cardrona. Rental gear is light and super comfy. Cafe is good value, at town prices. We enjoyed a perfect blue sky day and needed only wear a merino layer and a shell jacket. Thank you Snow Farm. See you again next week!

In general, being outside is good for you, but, being outside in the snow is better! Wonderful staff in a great spot. Escape the chaos of the ski resorts and head to Snowfarm :)

Such a fun experience. My family amd I had never skied before and the instructor was so patient with us. Definitely be on our list of things to do when we come back!

Amazing day at snow farm, great staff and very friendly instructor to learn x-country skiing

Great experience ridding at that place with lots of information and different trekking. You might want to catch it before they shift. Great horses and greater friendly hosts.

This was a really great value trip. I'm not an experienced rider myself but I really liked how the experienced people in our group got a few canters and the rest of us had good instruction on trotting.

It felt like a long wine-dy drive to get there and we were unsure uf we were getting anywhere bcos it was all mountains and grass, jus take your time and be careful when driving but so worth it wen we finally reached the place and experienced the horse riding at such scenic place. The horses were gorgeous, we had hokey and smokey and they were so cute and well behaved! Service from the ladies was lovely, we also bought some honey! Including manuka honey. Havnt tried it yet but they look yummy ? Definately recommend

Cannot recommend this place enough. The staff are so friendly and lovely and the animals are the same. A stunning trek through the cardrona backcountry, including some trotting (or cantering if you’re up for it), creek crossings and hill climbs. Our ponies were lovely and Frenchy (our guide) made this a wonderful experience. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

The horses were great. The scenery amazing. Highly reccommend.

Words cannot explain how beautiful it was, the scenery was magnificent.

Our family had the most amazing time horse riding with Backcountry Saddles through the beautiful Cardrona Valley. It was a highlight of our trip to NZ. We were all complete novices to horse riding yet we all felt completely at ease with Deb and her beautiful Apaloosa horses. Even our 5 year old was riding solo. A truly wonderful way to enjoy beautiful Cardrona Valley.

Fantastic out ride up the Cardrona slopes. What beautiful country and amazing horses. The added bonus was having Dixie dog join us on the trail and hunt rabbits. The experience completely exceeded our expectations.

Great value ride. 2 hours of riding, which is a perfect amount. Really unique experience riding appaloosa horses through the valley.

Don't hesitate to take this activity. Just believe your leader and partner(Hourse ^^), you'll be safe and happy then. Ouch...I forgot the name of my leader and partner.ㅜㅜ Both of them are very nice!!! They made me feel comfortable while I'm riding a horse. NZ information was for free from our leader is the good bonus~!!! Thanks again!

Lovely people, well behaved abd trustworthy horses, spectacular scenery I highly recommend this experience, I'd do it again!

Fantastic time, Fantastic ladies. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely be back.

Spectacular views of the surrounding mountain rangers. Riding through streams and gullies. Providing options for all level of riding skills (walking, trotting and galloping. Frenchy was an exceptional tour guide. By the time we completed our 2 hour horse riding experience, Frency knew everyone by name and little bit about each other.

We arrived ahead of time and had some good time to take pictures with and of the horses that were coming out to get ready. The lead taking the tribe was great and taught us how to handle the horse, trot and trek with them. Mine was called Pawnee and she’s a beautiful girl. The terrain was beautiful, a little muddy but we were given protective coats, helmets and gloves to shield us. Do wear boots if you can, it does make the ride a little more comfortable. There’s a little female dog named Dixie on the ground as well. Friendly team and great experience!

very experienced and friendly staff nice way to see the country good value for money highly recommended

2 hour ride through beautiful countryside. We were matched a horse that suited our abilities. My over 40yr old friend had never rode a horse before and was a bit nervous. We both had a great time with Jo leading the way. Would def recommend.

Would 110% recommend this to anyone of any age. My friend and I are both in our late 20s and had a blast. The views were unreal. The guide was fin and knowledgeable and you absolutely fall in loce with the horses!

Enjoyed the day and weather was beautiful Horses very good trained and the staff freindly and amazing Learned a lot about horses Brilliant views Loved the experience and will go back again

The staff were excellent with my nervous 10 year old and coached her along so she rode without a guide rope and was confident enough to Trott. Can't praise them enough, although now she does want a pony! The staff are very knowledgeable about the area and act as tour guides as well as riding instructors. The horses are beautiful with lovely pleasant natures and obviously the scenery is spectacular. We will definitely return on our next visit. I would thoroughly recommend Backcountry Saddles to beginners and experienced riders alike.

Horses were beautiful, countryside was picturesque and Deb and Rach were super friendly and knowledgable. Amazing experience!

原本打算去Glenorchy騎，後來考量到時間就改來比較順路的Caradrona，事實證明當初的決定是對的！兩個小時的行程中，牧場主人先做了些簡單教學讓我們和馬熟悉，接著就出發去繞山丘，馬如果渴了就在小溪喝水，餓了就在路邊吃草，非常特別的體驗 過程大部分是散步，偶爾會小跑一下，超級好玩！在大草原騎馬的感覺實在是太棒了，而且我們的馬都很溫馴，每隻都有可愛的小個性，我的馬是裡面的爸爸有時候會越走越慢需要提醒牠不要落隊，還有一隻不愛走別人走過的路愛另闢蹊徑，我們都很愛自己的馬♥️，也能感受到主人把牠們照顧的很好，如果有機會再訪紐西蘭我一定會回去找阿瑞(我的馬)！阿瑞等我！
