    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lovely ride to an awesome beach.

    Really nice sand horses and people. 3hrs is quite a long ride if you are not used to it,best to factor a few recovery days afterwards!! They do have shorter rides available.
