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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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 .

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!

Amazing countryside, fantastic guides and gorgeous horses. Thank you :)

The ride was safe and fun. Did a 2hrs tracking up the mountains. All the horses are well trained. Fortunately we had a great weather too! Highly recommended!

great

Absolutely incredible experience! The ride felt really personal and tailored to each group, instead of super commercialised. The guides were really helpful and knowledgeable on both the landscape and the horses. It was so nice seeing and supporting a locally owned and operated small company, when there are so many big corporate chains in the Queenstown area. You can also tell they really care for their horses and put the horses needs first which is super important. 12/10 experience - would recommend to people of all ages and riding abilities

The most amazing adventure in the Qtown area. It was My wife and 2 daughters first time on a horse and the staff were lovely and patient. Would pay double the amount price to do it again. Loved it and recommend it to everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Awesome, awesome, awesome activity! The guides were nice. The horses were great. The views were marvellous. Will come back again! Highly recommended!

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.

This was a great day in the saddle. Although we were absolute beginners we were instantly allowed to get on the trek in the horses. They are very well trained and we instantly felt comfortable. We were even taught to trot :) Our guide was really nice, encouraging, and absolutely enthusiastic about what she was doing :) Thanks for the awesome experience!

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

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

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！

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

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 my first time riding a horse and surprised how easy it was. The horses are so beautiful and calm and it made riding a breeze. I even got to canter. Must do if you are staying in the area!
