highily recommend

It's so wonderful to see the beach slowly showing up past the gate on horseback. It was amazing activity I’ve ever done. The staff was very kind and she has beautiful smile. The horses were nice. Since there is no bathroom on the farm, I recommend you empty the bladder in advance. 강 력 추 천 합니다 오클랜드에서 파이히아로 향하는 길에 여기에서 승마를 했는데 세상에 너무 멋져요. 해변에서 말을 타보는게 어떤건지 직접 경험해봐야 압니다 두번타세요 스태프가 무척 친절해요. 단, 농장들어갈때 게이트를 열고 다음에 꼭 닫으셔야 해요. 안그럼 말이 탈출해서 매우 난감할 수 있습니다. 저는 한국나이로 5살 7살 아이랑 같이 했는데 우리애들도 최고였다고 감탄했어요. 북미에서 예약하실때 어린이가 타거나 초보가 탈경우 앞에서 말을 리드해주는 직원이 필요하다고 적어주면 준비를 해주신다고 합니다. 그럼 즐기세요!!

Amazing Beach Trek for my 40th Birthday!

This trek was simply magic. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We had a group of 8, 3 adults and 5kids, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was stunning and the views simply breathtaking. I'd highly recommend this trek for an unforgettable experience ❤️

Awesome horse riding experience

Our family had an amazing horse trekking adventure. This was the first time our boys (12 & 9) have been horse riding, and they both handled it easily like a boss. The highlight of the trek was riding along Uretiti beach... a magical place. Thanks to Briar and Natalia who guided us expertly.

Insecure track

For our first trip it was quite desappointing because apparently the track horse they are using atm is a new track so the way was partially bocked with thorny plants what made the horses quite scared. My partner's horse jump (and apparently the inspector didnt know that horse could jump) when saw this thorny plants then my partner fell to the ground. My partner didnt hurt herself badly but could be bad. So was a new track, with thorny plants in the way, with scared horses with me and my partner who never ride horses before. The inspector was attentive and said they would change the track next time. Maybe was just unlucky but could and real bad. The beginning the track there are couple stell posts fence that could be dangers too if some beginer fall there too. So, ride was good but I think there are some safety things that could be improved.
