The pilot gave us great views and good commentary, very helpful and we had a fantastic time! I only wish it could've been longer, not saying its not value for money, only that no matter how long it was, I would have probably asked for more!!!
Ben and Kat are fantastic. They seem passionate about their jobs and love Queenstown. All the gear was excellent. Safety briefing excellent and we were also provided with a two way radio. We paddled around Lake Moke. Awesome scenery with a little bit of wildlife around to keep it interesting. We had a fantastic time and we are very happy to highly recommend hiring Paddles and kayaking around lake Moke.
Love the entire experience and she's very knowledgeable and safe to be around with. After the trek, we stayed to watch the after care for the horses. We had a great time!
Difficult gravel road to get to the lake but well worth the journey. Very professional, friendly and helpful guides. Stunning views 360°
Honestly if you are in Queenstown, this is a must-do!! Spectacular views and honestly just an all round incredible experience. All the horses were beautiful! The staff here went out of their way to make sure we had an awesome experience! Flo the instructor was so great and kind! If you are in Queenstown you have to do this!!!
Really enjoyed it. I have never ridden a horse before, the guides were so helpful and really patient with everyone. Perfect beginner trek
Absolutely great spot for a hose trek surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear streams. The horses were nice and very well behaved. Would definitely do this again.
Beautiful scenery and amazing horses and host!! Elle was brilliant at guiding my wife and I through the valley and answering all our questions!! My first time on a horse and it was awesome, will be doing it again for sure, thanks guys!!😍
The drive to Moke Lake is gorgeous. The scenery during the trek is absolutely stunning. The guides are super helpful, kind and just all around lovely. The horses are so calm and although I was initially scared, I put my trust in my horse (as advised by the guides) and Jojoe did not let me down. He was such a great horse. I would 1000/10 recommend. The 45 minute tour was great for us beginners. I just cannot rave about this enough. It was wonderful.
We had an awesome time with Flo. She's been a great guide and the track we take was also gorgeous! The horses are beautiful and taken care well. Definitely coming back when we are in Queenstown again!
Great guide, awesome horses and unbelievable view. Totally enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend.
Great guides, super friendly and the views are simply stunning!
Had the best time riding the horses around moke lake. Very professional team, was well looked after by Carolyn. Thank you!
What an amazing trek! Loved the scenery, the horses were lovely and Missy was an excellent guide. We’d definitely go back for the longer trek.
My husband and I booked this at 9am in the morning, and I guess that it made the journey much better The sun wasn’t too strong, but we could still soak it up The lake was so calm and still that we could enjoy the view of mountains reflected on it The beautiful lady, Layna, who helped us to trek was very helpful and super nice even though my husband is not fluent in English The horses that took us were very gentle as well Everything was just awesome and beautiful, couldn’t be better :) I dare say it was the best moment in my life Thanks
I rode with JD the horse and our tour guides marta n ezra were fantastic...never ride a horse before let alone a big horse like JD..it was an interesting experience and another ticked activities of me bucket list..? Hope to see JD really soon..
Great guide.. Laura, great horse...Jo joe. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you to everyone. Rosemary Lindop UK
Amazing experience. Super friendly and chilled horses and guide. Really enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you. ❤️
This is a opportunity to ride through a stunning part of the country, really enjoyed the ride and I am not a horse rider normally. The operators and guides were excellent.
It was well worth it. Very calm horses and beautiful scenery. And the guide was fantastic.
Was a lovely chilled out and relaxed place and the staff were lovely and very informative and chatty. Horses were well looked after and very well behaved. You can tell the guides really know each individual horse. Beautiful surroundings and a fun ride trough water and little hills, was a all round fabulous experience, thanks guys!
Surprised my boyfriend with this horse trek. It was a really enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend it. I have never been on a horse before and they were really good at explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable and confident. Thank you
Definetly worth the experience! Scenery of the lake was amazing. But if you are used to farming environemt the farmland scenery is a bit underwhelming at times. Lovely people to ride with. Being at the back you sort of feel segregated maybe would have been nice to have a guide at the back.
A group of 3 of us booked onto this horse trek and ended up having a private trek since we arrived a little early. Missy was an amazing guide, chatting through the whole trek and making us feel comfortable and relaxed. She knew the horses so well which definitely put me at ease after having a little fall in previous riding. Our ride was at 9am and since it had been raining the night before the valley was looking soooo beautiful, low clouds and some sun poking through and a very still lake. I got to ride Dude who was just the sweetest boy. All the horses were very relaxed and chilled out, they knew exactly what to do and where to go. A true testament to the team looking after and training these rescued retired race horses. Thanks so much, I’ll definitely be back again!
what a stunning backdrop for such a great experience. Staff were so friendly and informative. Had a great ride and would happily recommend this trek
Fantastic experience. Breath taking views everywhere you look. Great trek for beginners. Missy was our guide and made sure we were all well looked after. We rode Boom, Reno and Tigger and they were great. Recommend it and look forward to doing again.
My 10 year old daughter, sister in law and I went on the 1.5 hr trek. Got picked up with the free shuttle from Queenstown and drove across to Moke lake which is where the horses are. Our guide was Missy and our horses were Boom, Reno and Tigger. I was super nervous but Missy was calm and confident which made me relax. The horses were calm and just followed each other. The trek was mainly flat with a few little hills that the horses would go faster up. We went through water crossings, past cows and sheep surrounded by the beautiful mountains. Felt safe, the saddles were comfortable and Missy was full of information about the area. Our trek was a loop that finished at Moke lake which was beautiful. Beautiful hot sunny day. Great ride for beginners. My daughter loved it. Would 100% recommend this trek and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Missy you are such a natural and a great guide. We had great fun.
Such a wonderful time - horses were beautiful and well chosen for us. My 75 year old Mum did with us and loved it ❤️ The guide Ezrah was so bright cheery and lovely and made trek very relaxed. Loved our horses and stunning sights while riding- recommend this activity ? %
This was a really fun trip! The guiders are very experienced teaching us how to ride as beginners and the views were stunning! I will bring my other family members and friends back again.
Had an amazing time doing the 2 hour trek. Our guide Missy was awesome. She was very helpful & informative about the horses and area. We had a really fun time and it made our sore backsides and blisters worth it 100%. Thanks to our horses Munster & JD too!
Everything's great! 1.5hrs Moke Lake Trek is suitable for beginners horse riding. Will back to try for longer riding next time!
I took my partner along and it was great for him, it was a lovely hack with great scenery. If I were to go alone I would love to go on the 2 hour ride for experienced riders. The horses were well behaved and our guide was friendly. Captain was great to ride and Reno looked after my partner well. Thankyou :-)
Riding through the valley and up to Moke Lake was a magical experience! There were spectacular views in every direction! Our guide Kim was lovely and knowledgeable, and our horses Munster and Tigger were great companions for novice riders like me and my husband. We highly recommend this trek!
I did this trek with my 7 year old son, it was fabulous and the scenery was breathtaking!
