Catlins Horse Riding

Reviewed By MichelleA4784

We had an awesome 2-hour farm and beach ride! Cara matched us up well to her amazing good-natured horses. We had mixed riding abilities in our group of 4, and these were well catered to - those who wanted a slower steady pace were able to stay at a walk while the others of us had a good fast ride along the beach. It felt more like riding out with a group of friends than a trekking company ride. Such a beautiful area. Highly recommended, I'm sure we will be back.

We had the pleasure of riding out on this horse trek, absolutely fantastic experience and very well behaved horses. The views were stunning and so beautiful, our wee hut was brilliant. Genevieve was a awesome trek guide and host. A huge thank you to Genevieve and her family, also to grandma for the lovely scones. We all throughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

Surat Bay

Reviewed By Divinginnz - Wanaka, New Zealand

Easy to locate - toilet nearby entrance to walk - cafe (if you are lucky to arrive when its open - it was closed when we went) - a short walk through the bush to then walk out onto a most beautiful beach, lovely golden sand - you can walk for as long as you want to - we were lucky enough to have seen a huge seal which was just waking from a snooze and watched him go from the sand bank into the water which was pretty cool, having said that I was from then onwards on the look out for more which may be on the sand/beach (having been chased once by one a long time ago, its amazing how quick they can move!!). we never saw any more but did continue to watch the original seal in the shallow waters swimming around.... the beach walk was so lovely, quiet and so beautiful, we shall certainly return in the future.....
