非常棒的體驗!一定會再來一次!

這次的騎馬活動大約距離Wanaka車程約20分鐘,需提早半小時到。就在Cardrona胸罩牆的附近。 費用不貴,整趟騎馬的行程大約兩個小時,兩位工作人員(帶領我們的是Fran)非常的專業且和善,會告訴我們每匹馬的習性,並適時給我們鼓勵和幫忙。 這個行程不像在遊樂園那種是有人牽的騎馬活動,而是可以真的騎著馬在山上及草原小跑;這次騎的馬叫Poggle,是隻超級聰明可愛的馬 <3 Cardrona的風景非常的優美,整趟行程都非常的開心和享受,連小孩子都能夠一起來體驗(但需事先跟他們確認),如果來Wanaka或Queenstown真的必推的行程,我之後一定會再來:) p.s. 如果來體驗記得穿長褲,不然可能路邊的草叢會刺到你。

美好、新奇的旅程

活動開始前半小時需抵達現場著裝、準備裝備。 非常慶幸預約了這次活動,馬兒非常乖巧、親人、溫馴。沿途雖然都是經過枯黃的草原,不過廣闊的天空、與綿延的山丘還是非常美麗。 馬兒會途經小溪喝水、較平坦路段教練會帶著大家奔跑、途中也會講解許多知識與介紹周圍地形與歷史,非常有耐心與親和力。 非常棒的人們與動物,值得一遊。
