Experience the charm of Matakana with a relaxing horse-drawn carriage ride through beautiful country park scenery
Enjoy a charming horse-drawn carriage ride through the beautiful Matakana Country Park, just 45 minutes north of Auckland.
Relax as you travel through the park’s leafy lanes, taking in the peaceful countryside and unique atmosphere of one of Auckland’s favourite weekend destinations.
Matakana is well known for its boutique vineyards, cafés, and restaurants, making this the perfect experience to enjoy before coffee at a local café or lunch at the Stables Restaurant.
A wonderful way to slow down, soak up the scenery, and experience Matakana a little differently.

Real highlights, tips, and the helpful advice straight from Bookme customers who’ve actually done this experience.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, it was a pleasure to take you all for a birthday ride for your son, we enjoy sharing our special horse with others. So pleased you got to go to Sheepworld afterwards for Alan to enjoy inter reaction with the sheep. All the best from both of us.
Absolutely fabulous day trip from Auckland. Christine and Patrick couldn’t be more friendly or accommodating and Lachie our Clydesdale horse was beautiful! Thoroughly recommend as a highlight of our trip and great value! Thankyou!
Thank you for your kind review, we love giving people the opportunity to enjoy our horses and you were great company to share them with. All the best for the rest of your holiday.
