​

Step into the saddle for a true high-country adventure designed specifically for confident and experienced riders who seek the thrill of adventurous riding and immersing themselves in the wild beauty of New Zealand’s landscapes.

Your experience begins at Moke Lake, where your ride ventures deep into remote valleys, native beech forests and along rugged mountain ridgelines, toward the Moke Lake lookout and along the Ben Lomond Ridgeline, with spectacular views of the Southern Alps, Lake Wakitipu, Cecil peak and Walter peak, offering breathtaking perspectives at every turn.

​

Halfway through the day, you will pause for a fully catered gourmet picnic lunch in a secluded alpine setting, providing a perfect moment to soak in the tranquillity and grandeur of your surroundings. The ride continues across glacial rivers, sweeping tussock country and through dramatic landscapes, some of which have gained fame on the big screen, finally making your way down Moke valley and back into base before giving your trusty horse a treat and saying goodbye.​

​

With each step, the landscape shifts- from rugged mountain ridges to serene valleys and ancient forests, ensuring you’re never far from a fresh view.

This is more than just a ride; it’s a journey through one of the most diverse and beautiful places you’ll find anywhere around. Prepare to be amazed by how much this incredible landscape changes, keeping your senses alive and your spirit inspired throughout the day.
