뉴질랜드 여행 중 가장 잊지 못할 추억

원래 강가와 초원 지역으로 2시간 30분짜리를 신청했는데 진행 상황에 이슈가 생겨 파라다이스 지역으로 1시간 30분짜리로 바꿨습니다. 다른 걸 해보지 않았지만 단연코 바꾼 것을 후회하지 않을 만큼 멋진 장관과 친절한 가이드분의 설명을 즐겼습니다. 말을 타고 숲속과 언덕을 올라 내려다보았던 평원, 강, 산과 하늘은 잊을 수 없을 것 같습니다. 날씨가 조금 흐리긴 했지만 업체에서 주는 외투 덕분에 하나도 춥지 않아서 액티비티를 마음껏 즐길 수 있었습니다. 픽업샌딩을 담당했던 기사님도 굉장히 친절하고 이동하면서 설명도 많이 해주시고 사진도 찍을 수 있게 해주셔서 즐거운 시간이었습니다. 생각보다 말 타는게 힘들어서 처음 말을 타본다면 1시간 30분짜리가 좋을 듯합니다.

추천해요

말들이 훈련이 잘되어있어서 그냥 타고만있으면 알아서 잘가요. 말들끼리 순서도 있어서 순서 잘지키면서 가요. 세시간타면 엉덩이쪽이나 조금 아프긴한데 그만큼 멋져요

경치는 끝내줍니다.

나름 좋았어요.도감 느끼게 하려고 중간에 조금 달리는 부분 있는데.. 여자 한 명이 제 앞에서 떨어져서 놀랐어요. 사진 찍는 막대가잡고 있었는데. 말을 찌른 건지?...걍 추측 여튼 뒤말질 하면 등에 탄 사람을 떨어내는듯 뒤발질 슴하게...큰 일 날 뻔 했어요. 사진도구 잘 가지고 타야 할 것 같아요. 같은 시간대 2개 팀이었는데.. 우리팀 남자 가이드가 독일 여자에게만 말걸고 작업 거는듯 하고 나중에 2회 정도 여자 가이드에게만 맡기고 독일여자와 따로 타서.. 손님들 안전 덜 신경 썼어요. 별점 1개 줄수도 있는데. 걍 혼자서 즐긴 거로 4개 줍니다.. Employees' education are required. I couln't feel secure. Because male staff didn't keep an eye on us.

Most spectacular view!

It’s a walk on a gigantic park sitting on a horse while surrounded by spectacular view. The 2 guides we had (Emily and Caitlin) were very friendly and introduced us to the mountains where Lord of the Rings had a few filming done. The experience is well worth it and the air super fresh. Very good outdoor experience!

Amazing experience not to be missed

This was by far the best experience we had in Queenstown/Glenorchy - The views were spectacular and the horses were so gentle and friendly - Our guide was a super friendly young English girl (forgot her name sorry) had knowledge of the surround area and made sure everyone was comfortable. We did the 2.5 hour treck and was treated to some amazing views. Highly recommended experience for anyone who loves horses or natural beauty!
