Come along for this relaxed scenic horse trek located on prime Queenstown back country.
Saddle up and explore the treasures of Moke lake with this relaxed scenic horse trek located just 20 minutes from central Queenstown.
Perfect for beginners, families and children, all of our horses are hand picked to match each and every rider.
This 45 minute trek covers relatively flat terrain, allowing riders to sit back and get a feel for riding while taking in all the stunning scenery on offer. We cross grand Queenstown farmland and fresh slow moving streams before reaching the shores of Moke Lake for the perfect photo opportunity.
You can be assured a smooth ride - our horses are equipped with soft freeform endurance style saddles that provide maximum comfort for our riders while fitting perfectly on our horses. You will be accompanied by an experienced and supportive guide who will make sure you get the most out of the experience.
Thank you so much Samantha for your amazing review! We indeed love our horses ( and our job!) Hope to see you again next time :)
Would take my son next time we go
Thanks for your review Sandy, we hope to see you and your son very soon again :)
First time riding a horse, it was wonderful! Guides were knowledgeable and calm. Stunning country!! 45mins wasn't enough
Hi Ivy! Thanks for your lovely review, you should come back on our longer treks ;)
Hi Kacey and Joshua, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a lovely review! We are very pleased to hear that you had a great time with our awesome team! We hope to see you again soon!
My husband and I had a lovely trek on two gorgeous horses, led by instructor Missy, who was full of facts about the area we were riding in. The horses were very gentle and we both felt confident riding on them, and also safe in the hands of Missy. We will definitely be coming back to Ben Lomond to do a longer trek next time we are in Queenstown, because 45 minutes wasn't long enough! Thank you Missy, and thank you Ben and Reno for giving us a fun afternoon.
Hi Emma and Marty, thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad you had a great time with Missy, she is awesome!

Best trail ride ever - great family experience
I was so impressed with the running of this trek on every level. The guides were extremely helpful in every way - from arranging transport from Queenstown to selecting the right horse for each rider and showing us how to manage our horses. They kept an eye on everyone during the ride, and reacted quickly if anyone was having difficulty, and also talked to the group about the scenery along the way. They even offered to take photos of us on our horses with our own cameras at the end. The most impressive part was the exceptional treatment of the horses. The horses are relaxed because they are not overworked and are treated with great respect and care. And that's before you even mention the beautiful views!
