The scenery itself was pretty average along or two hour ride. It's great if you've not been riding much. However the girls at the stables were friendly and chatty. The horses were well looked after and we had a good time. Great match of rider experience and horse

Nice weather and awesome guide! First time to try horse trek. A little bit scary in the beginning but then start to become relaxed cos the horse can feel my emotions. Will come back again. Only 15 minutes drive away from my house. Easy to access!

My daughter (8) was given this horse trek as a xmas present so my husband went with her. The guide, Zoe, was very informative of not only the horses but the surrounding environment too and provided them with a running commentary for the entire trek. Super friendly guides and relaxed easy to ride horses made for a wonderous trek. Cant say enough great things about whole experience. Taylor came away with a lot to talk about and a smile on her face, even thouhh she toppled off at one point (not holding on tight enough) best present ever she says!! Thanks very much!!?

My guide Zsofie was super professional and friendly! I was a total beginner so I had to bug her from the very beginning and she was so patient with me, explained all the rules in a very easy way for me to understand. My horse was Nemo and he was such a good boy. The weather was amazing too and the river was beautiful, I am actually really interested in horseback riding now after this, definitely would recommend to anyone visiting or already in Christchurch to experience this with these guys and I will defo. come back!

We got instructed very well on the behaviour of the horses and what to do and not to do. It was a very nice scenic route that they took us on. Will recommend to do it ♡

It was my beginner riding a horse and I felt very happy on it. If I have the opportunity to ride again I would like to and I am happy to recommend people whose plan to try to ride a horse just come over to this place you will be happy and have fun.

Waimak Horses are great. Charlotte our guide was fabulous. So professional and friendly. She made us feel so welcome. Nemo and Dory our horses were a perfect match for us. So well trained and beautifully looked after. I will definitely be interested taking lessons in the future. Well done Waimak horses!

What a fantastic experience we had, all beginner riders and spent two hours riding comfortably by the beautiful waimakare river. Nina, our guide was brilliant, she had made each of us feel comfortable with our horses and gave a great introduction to the nature of the horse,how to sit in the saddle safely, how to use the reins and how to enjoy the ride. She had exceptional knowledge on the history of each horse as they were rescue horses from the racing industry. I thoroughly recommend everyone should experience this adventure. Not to be missed

Fantastic historical horse tracks, enjoyable first time horse riding, and well experienced guide.

Took my daughter on a 1 hour Trek after not being on a horse for about 20 years and my daughter about a year. They were absolutely amazing in the sense they eased us back into it, regularly checked how we were going and gave us the chance to stretch the horses legs with a trot and canter! The horses were great, you can see a lot of love goes into caring for the animals and the place they live. The trek scenery was very private and relaxing, it was the first time I have been on a horse in the water, great experience! Thanks guys, will definitely be returning when we move to Christchurch.

We went on the hour trek It was a beautiful experience the staff are awesome. Scenic peaceful ride. Our guide was informative taught us some interesting facts about horses. We loved it and would definitely recommend

We loved the experience ❤️ sachan was amazing host❤️

Highly recommend. Our tour guide was super lovely and made me feel at ease when I was slightly nervous. Super good value for money and a good morning adventure with friends.

The trail ride was peaceful, safe and on lovely horses that were well trained. The leader, Paige, was knowledgeable and gave us some local and geological information, although we couldn't hear much at the back! We felt it was a bit expensive for what we got, but for beginner riders it was probably a good taste. I had hoped we would be trekking through mountain terrain and seeing some views of Christchurch, but the horse farm was situated in a flat area. She did take us for a small trek through the river which was a highlight. Overall, it was a good experience! Thanks Paige!

What a beautiful experience ! Got to do it with friends on our holidays in Christchurch. The forest and the river was stunning, even got a sunny day for it. Horses are magnificent and staff great. Thanks x

We booked for 4 of us. When we arrived we had 4 lovely, well looked after horses waiting for us. Each of our horses was characterful, easy to ride and clearly living a great life with these guys. The trek was challenging enough for me as a beginner. The horses are very easy to trust and very forgiving of newbies. We went for the 2hr and it was the perfect length. The instructions were clear and simple. Highly, highly recommended.

Good experience in Christchurch

Thankyou you were all brilliant. Our family of four had a beautiful ride, amazing horses and guides, we will definitely want to do that again.

The staff made our family of five beginner riders feel safe and relaxed during our ride, right from the moment we stepped onto the property. They were knowledgeable and chatty, and gave us lots of information as we rode. The stars of the show were the horses. They were beautiful and gentle, and put everyone in the family at ease. Just the absolute best experience. Highly recommend Waimak River Horse Treks to everyone, a brilliant way to spend the afternoon outdoors. Thanks to Nina and Paige for being such great hosts on our trek, and to Art, Ace, Dash, Tonna and Nemo for putting up with such beginner riders!

A friend and I did the 2 hour trek. Our guides were so lovely. The safety briefing was the best I have seen on a trek (have done a couple) The horses were beautiful and trekking through the bush near the river was amazing. Recommend to anyone! Support local 😊

Had a great day. Very professional. Lovely staffs. Horses are calm and gorgeous.

My daughter and aunty loved the ride and the highlight of riding near the river. This was accompanied by great service and commentary. The horses are mainly rescue horses which was a bonus. We will definitely go again

100 % reccomend doing this. Paige has so much knowledge about the horses and the area, they really care about their horses. Great fun. Thanks heaps

Guides were fantastic,friendly and put you at ease. Lovely cared for horses, lovely scenery. Was perfect for my level of riding. Thank you Carolyn and Ida for being so wonderful and thank you ' inky' my beautiful gentle horse x

The Horses are beautiful. The location is stunning and the GIRLS are amazing. I would 100% recommend you pop out and see them.

Awesome! well worth the money. Loverly ladies. Would definitely recommend.

My first time on a horse and Bill was just a lovely horse to ride. What an experience! A must do

Very enjoyable, beautiful views, lovely guide. The horses were well behaved and easy going. Thank you so much

I would definitely recommend the experiences here!!! I had a horse trekking here with my bf Today and ut was awesome❤️The staff here were super patient and friendly. They provided detailed introduction and guidance during our experience. They have quite a lot of horses and doggie as well as a cat. All of which were super nice and cute. I personally it is safe for children to have some interactions with them under the guidance of the staff aside. They also provide experience for children with additional needs as a kind of therapy. I think that super cool!!! WRRC is definitely a loving place to be. Will definitely come back for maybe a riding course.😊 We had a therapeutic time here.❤️🌸

We had a great 2hr trek the guide was awesome the horses were great. Thank you

Very professional from the start to the end . Safety demo and lesson before hand very adequate . Amazingly informative host who just loves her horses and her job . Horses really well cared for and great riding gear . Would 100 % recommend this trek and I’ve tried many horse trekking centres .

Awesome experience exploring the wildlife! Enjoyed feeding the birds and farm animals!

Had a ball, great experience, nice setup, took 2 hours without hurrying too much, saw all 4 kiwi’s roaming in the dark area. Went at 2pm so missed all the feeding, but feeding the animals ourselves was great fun anyway. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved it, hands on and amazing, you need to dedicate more Atleast 3 hours to really take it all in A++++
