Had never really rode a horse before and was made to feel comfortable and had a great time.
The trip was breathtaking and way more than I expected.

Awesome trek.
Road up on top of Old Mans Rock so the views were fantastic. I am a fairly advanced rider and the horses were well maintained, treated and well behaved. One trek caters for all levels from beginner to experienced.

Simply amazing!
Awesome crew and great ride with incredible views! Old man's range is best.

Had an absolutely amazing afternoon.
Great hosts, good horses, awesome views and just a good around experience. The local iSite mucked up the booking, but the hosts were great and coped wonderfully. It was a real 1.5 hours of actual riding, which was great. I had expected the 1.5 hours to include some prep time, so again happy customer again... Well done all around.

Great experience!
Friendly, well-run operation. Made you feel at ease (even a non-rider!) and clearly took care with matching horses and riders. Did an excellent job with a mixed ability group in difficult weather and the scenery was magnificent, especially the awesome Wharariki Beach.

I have ridden out several times with this Trekking company in Golden Bay and on every occasion have had a great time.
The guides are experienced - not just teenagers who want to go for a blast - and genuinely love the riding and the scenery, he Old Man Range is my favourite trek, probably the most scenic trek you could do in New Zealand and excellent value at $110 for 2 1/2 - 3 hrs in he saddle.

5.0/5
Highly recommended.
Unforgettable scenery with a very capable and patient young lady (Nika) as our guide. Riding through the hills and on the beach was an expereince of a lifetime.
