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.
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.
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!
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!
Amazing day at snow farm, great staff and very friendly instructor to learn x-country skiing
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.
Great experience. Horses are gorgeous and good natured, and the scenery is stunning. All the staff were lovely and our guide, Sarah I believe, was excellent, full of information and funny. Definitely recommend this.
We were offered some extra layers when we arrived slightly under dressed which we were so thankful for! Our guide was amazing, the horses were suited well to us and the trek itself was so fun! Over all highly recommend! Couldn’t have been better!
What a great afternoon in the backcountry of cardrona. Great for all levels of riders, many laughs and a fantastic guide deb! I couldn't believe how calm the horses are and well mannered. Great kiwi experience even for kiwis! ? Thank you will come back one day!
We had a great time. The drive from Queenstown was beautiful as well. Debs and Jo were super friendly and obviously very passionate about what they're doing. Our horses were very gentle and calm! We were surprised how sore our legs were after riding. Had a great time, would definitely like to do it again if we're visiting.
Great ride, with a lovely chatty tour guide and group of similar level so we could enjoy riding at a faster pace than walking! Lovely country.
I’ve been on many a horse ride and this one was, by far, the best of all. Firstly, the horses - beautiful, responsive, and very well behaved. I love Appaloosas and riding them across such picturesque surroundings felt like something out of an old Western. For me, that was heaven. Actually, calling the scenery picturesque is an understatement - it’s beyond words. Add to all of this our wonderful guide, Frenchie, who, not only led the ride, but was attuned to each riders ability and allowed them to ride accordingly. A “must-do” in a list of awesome activities around Queenstown. Heading back soon with the whole family next time!
We booked for the morning riding slot but due to poor weather, we were able to shift the booking to the afternoon slot. Do remember to give them a call beforehand to confirm your booking. The horses were gentle and easy to handle even for riders with no experience at all. The ride was really scenic too. Very safe and suitable for all ages!
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.
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left Debs and Fran made us feel welcome, at ease and completely confident with what both they and we were doing. We were paired with horses that matched our abilities and travelled as a group. The horses were amazing, the scenery breathtaking and the whole experience magical. Will I be back?? Try and stop me!!
Such a fantastic experience! Really well organised and all of the staff were really friendly. The views were stunning and the route was perfect. Would definitely 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.
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.
very experienced and friendly staff nice way to see the country good value for money highly recommended
Horses were beautiful, countryside was picturesque and Deb and Rach were super friendly and knowledgable. Amazing experience!
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!
