Awesome time Must do activity in christchurch
Despite the rain it was a fantastic and fun activity to do. My kids loved it and wanted to stay longer!
Great activity that challenges all...staff were very friendly and knowledgeable ☺
Really great venue, courses for all abilities, some upper body strength needed brilliant day. Staff were really great always to help
Had so much fun even though I've been a few times it's always fun with new people I drag along:p
Adrenalin Forest beat my body aware 11 year old climbing freak - we look forward to coming back in a few years to complete the last two courses! The safety standards were the very best we have seen with an innovative connection technology that ensures that you are always connected to the safety cable, while giving you the flexibility to manoeuvre by clipping and unclipping rather than dragging lops round the course. One of the huge advantages for us was that because my son is over 1.45m tall he was able to go on the course on his own, with me spotting/supervising from the ground.
Went as a group of adults and had an awesome time. If you're fit i think its a bit easier and quicker to pull yourself around the obstacles and back out of the water but there are still lots of handles to help out. It would be great to do an adult only session.
My 2 boys aged 13 & 15 had lots of fun playing on the inflatable water playground. Staff were friendly & engaging. I bought a blanket & picnic, and watched to boys from the river bank. Great day out for us all. Highly recommend.
The kids loved it. Next time I’d bring their wetsuits as it’s pretty cold. You do need to be able swim and it does require some upper body strength to pull yourself out of the water. The wobbly floating round obstacle was really fun! We could do the air pillow due to the wind which is fair enough. The staff were great and I felt in safe hands.
This was a really fun experience, highly recommend! The guides were so lovely and informative and you can see they really love and care for the horses! The trek is the perfect amount of time and the sights along the way are just absolutely tranquil, with the sounds of the birds and the waimak river - the water crossing was a highlight for sure! And I loved learning about each horses individual personality and backstory! Great for all levels and ages our group that we were booked with had children in it as well and they did so well on the horses and the horses did well too! Also there was a very cute dog and cat that were loving pats as well! I Recommend this hidden gem experience!
I would definitely recommend the experiences here!!! I had a horse trekking here with my bf Today and ut was awesome❤️The staff here were super patient and friendly. They provided detailed introduction and guidance during our experience. They have quite a lot of horses and doggie as well as a cat. All of which were super nice and cute. I personally it is safe for children to have some interactions with them under the guidance of the staff aside. They also provide experience for children with additional needs as a kind of therapy. I think that super cool!!! WRRC is definitely a loving place to be. Will definitely come back for maybe a riding course.😊 We had a therapeutic time here.❤️🌸
Very enjoyable, beautiful views, lovely guide. The horses were well behaved and easy going. Thank you so much
What a fantastic experience we had, all beginner riders and spent two hours riding comfortably by the beautiful waimakare river. Nina, our guide was brilliant, she had made each of us feel comfortable with our horses and gave a great introduction to the nature of the horse,how to sit in the saddle safely, how to use the reins and how to enjoy the ride. She had exceptional knowledge on the history of each horse as they were rescue horses from the racing industry. I thoroughly recommend everyone should experience this adventure. Not to be missed
Highly recommend. Our tour guide was super lovely and made me feel at ease when I was slightly nervous. Super good value for money and a good morning adventure with friends.
Took my daughter on a 1 hour Trek after not being on a horse for about 20 years and my daughter about a year. They were absolutely amazing in the sense they eased us back into it, regularly checked how we were going and gave us the chance to stretch the horses legs with a trot and canter! The horses were great, you can see a lot of love goes into caring for the animals and the place they live. The trek scenery was very private and relaxing, it was the first time I have been on a horse in the water, great experience! Thanks guys, will definitely be returning when we move to Christchurch.
My first time on a horse and Bill was just a lovely horse to ride. What an experience! A must do
We went on the hour trek It was a beautiful experience the staff are awesome. Scenic peaceful ride. Our guide was informative taught us some interesting facts about horses. We loved it and would definitely recommend
It was my beginner riding a horse and I felt very happy on it. If I have the opportunity to ride again I would like to and I am happy to recommend people whose plan to try to ride a horse just come over to this place you will be happy and have fun.
Nice weather and awesome guide! First time to try horse trek. A little bit scary in the beginning but then start to become relaxed cos the horse can feel my emotions. Will come back again. Only 15 minutes drive away from my house. Easy to access!
Guides were fantastic,friendly and put you at ease. Lovely cared for horses, lovely scenery. Was perfect for my level of riding. Thank you Carolyn and Ida for being so wonderful and thank you ' inky' my beautiful gentle horse x
The staff made our family of five beginner riders feel safe and relaxed during our ride, right from the moment we stepped onto the property. They were knowledgeable and chatty, and gave us lots of information as we rode. The stars of the show were the horses. They were beautiful and gentle, and put everyone in the family at ease. Just the absolute best experience. Highly recommend Waimak River Horse Treks to everyone, a brilliant way to spend the afternoon outdoors. Thanks to Nina and Paige for being such great hosts on our trek, and to Art, Ace, Dash, Tonna and Nemo for putting up with such beginner riders!
The Horses are beautiful. The location is stunning and the GIRLS are amazing. I would 100% recommend you pop out and see them.
We loved the experience ❤️ sachan was amazing host❤️
We got instructed very well on the behaviour of the horses and what to do and not to do. It was a very nice scenic route that they took us on. Will recommend to do it ♡
Thankyou you were all brilliant. Our family of four had a beautiful ride, amazing horses and guides, we will definitely want to do that again.
My daughter and aunty loved the ride and the highlight of riding near the river. This was accompanied by great service and commentary. The horses are mainly rescue horses which was a bonus. We will definitely go again
Fantastic historical horse tracks, enjoyable first time horse riding, and well experienced guide.
We booked for 4 of us. When we arrived we had 4 lovely, well looked after horses waiting for us. Each of our horses was characterful, easy to ride and clearly living a great life with these guys. The trek was challenging enough for me as a beginner. The horses are very easy to trust and very forgiving of newbies. We went for the 2hr and it was the perfect length. The instructions were clear and simple. Highly, highly recommended.
Good experience in Christchurch
What a beautiful experience ! Got to do it with friends on our holidays in Christchurch. The forest and the river was stunning, even got a sunny day for it. Horses are magnificent and staff great. Thanks x
Awesome! well worth the money. Loverly ladies. Would definitely recommend.
Waimak Horses are great. Charlotte our guide was fabulous. So professional and friendly. She made us feel so welcome. Nemo and Dory our horses were a perfect match for us. So well trained and beautifully looked after. I will definitely be interested taking lessons in the future. Well done Waimak horses!
My daughter (8) was given this horse trek as a xmas present so my husband went with her. The guide, Zoe, was very informative of not only the horses but the surrounding environment too and provided them with a running commentary for the entire trek. Super friendly guides and relaxed easy to ride horses made for a wonderous trek. Cant say enough great things about whole experience. Taylor came away with a lot to talk about and a smile on her face, even thouhh she toppled off at one point (not holding on tight enough) best present ever she says!! Thanks very much!!?
100 % reccomend doing this. Paige has so much knowledge about the horses and the area, they really care about their horses. Great fun. Thanks heaps
A friend and I did the 2 hour trek. Our guides were so lovely. The safety briefing was the best I have seen on a trek (have done a couple) The horses were beautiful and trekking through the bush near the river was amazing. Recommend to anyone! Support local 😊
Had a great day. Very professional. Lovely staffs. Horses are calm and gorgeous.
