Always a great experience with these guys. Have been to them at least 3-4 times with my 12 year old and he absolutely loves it.

These guys were great, all gear provided. Small groups so you get quality time. The kids picked up so easy and the teachers were really encouraging. They also gave kids a half hour extra with the gear to for free. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful horses, lovely people. I am an experienced rider must say it was one of the best rides I've had. ???

Amy really took her time to explain us everything. The horses are so well trained, it feels very safe even for beginners. The scenery is gorgeous, one of my highlights in New Zealand. When we were there, it was really quiet. We couldn't have had a better experience. The time with the horses is plentiful. Amy is very generous with her time. We had a great time. I recommend it 200%!!!

Amy was a wonderful host. Was pleasantly surprised when I discovered I was the only one on the trip as her policy is to provide a personal experience to every guests and that we shouldn't have to share the experience with a large group. Ernie my horse was just a sweetheart. Very gentle and forgiving to inexperienced riders but I was told that he could be a great ride for experienced riders too. Delighted to get a little trot on the beach. Been a while since I rode! Amy always made sure I was safe and comfortable and wouldn't push anything past my riding abilities. All on all, great experience and would recommend a ride with them.

It was perfect for a beginner like me as this is my first ever horse riding. The staff was super friendly and helpful. And the beach they took us on were amazing. Had a super great time and will recommend to everyone to have a go.

Both of us are novice riders, Vanessa, was very friendly, helpful and patient, after giving us the safety chat and showing us how to get on and off the horses, we got on and started our adventure. There are 2 rides, we went on just the beach one, after getting used to the motion of the horse, it was an amazing experience. I would advise that you wear jeans, because the stirrup straps can dig in to bare legs

Was absolutely lovely experience horse riding in small group, lovely day time walking on the beach and bourses playing with water! Spectacular views and enjoyable experience!

It was such an amazing experience and i loved every minute, and even though we were so amateur they made us feel comfortable the whole time, loved it!?

Lovely staff and it was a really nice day all around. This ride is definitely for beginners and you don't get to do a lot of trotting or canters (about 1 min of trotting 3 or 4 times on the ride). Beach was lovely, took my younger sister (12 Yr old) and she really enjoyed the ride, think it's the perfect one for first time riders! If you want to do more trotting or cantering I would recommend booking a more advanced trek (staff recommend the 2 hour ride)

First, This was my first experience of horse riding. Even I don't have any knowledge about riding a horse, I highly recommend this adventure for the beginner like me. The owner lady was super kind and give kind instructions such as what I have to & not to do for my safety. Once you on the horse, you will feel connection between you and your horse. our adventure day's weather was such a wonderful, sunny and a bit of breeze for chilling out. A view of Ruakaka beach is....you will just say WOW. no more words needs to explain. image cannot give what I actually felt at that time. Definately I would like to go again with my friends.

Thank you for such a great experience. The coach was really good in explaining what to do and the horses were really friendly and gentle.

Heloise and the girls was very friendly and accommodating. The horses was so friendly and docile. It was a relaxing time. Thank you..

Super laid back and totally professional team there. Loved the chance to get out on the water and appreciated all the expert guidance.

Excellent trip to Te Arai for a beginners session with the crew. They were really welcoming, friendly and very helpful in and out of the water. I’d be keen to return for the Surf Sistas 4 week programme! Cheers!

They'll provide you with all the skills and techniques you need to stand up on your day one in surfing.

My daughters surfing experience was very fascinating. My daughters loved the experience a lot. They are waiting to repeat it again. I think we will do it again in few weeks time. In fact, I recommend this activity for a couple of our friends. The team was very professional and they were very friendly and very suportive.

I had a great time in the water with Aotearoa Surf School. The instructors were super friendly, welcoming and made the whole thing a fun experience. We had a diverse group, ranging in age from under 10 to 40+, with different backgrounds and skills, yet the team managed to ensure everyone was supported at their own individual level. I appreciated getting personal feedback, with some instruction and guidance to help me correct some of the mistakes I was making. Thanks Corne, Lilly and Nils for such a great day. I'll back in the water with Aoteroa Surf School as soon as I can for some ongoing lessons.

After the bad weather we’ve had I decided surfing might be fun for a day out and it can be done in rain or shine. It did not disappoint. Che and the team were chilled and professional. They made me feel comfortable and confident with what I was doing. They helped me to stand on the board in less than two hours. The guys he has working for him were very helpful and you could tell surfing was a passion; which made them want to be there. I got the experience on a deal but both my friend and I would happily pay full price based on the experience I had. Highly recommend for individuals or groups. Thanks guys :)

We had great fun! This experience is really for everyone. No matter you are a first timer like me and my partner or you are super experienced, you will for sure enjoy the several hours hanging out in the bush and jumping off the cliffs! Conrad looked after everyone and encouraged us to enjoy the view and sport. Thank you Conrad!

We had the most fantastic time at “Jump of a Cliff”. You drive up to the visitor centre where you are greeted with a 360 degree view of Whangrei Heads. The instructor was so lovely, it was just me and my friend so we had a very professional and informative session where he dedicated his time to each of us so we felt safe. Both of us never abseiled before and we both was nervous about how high it would be, but with the expertise of the instructor we felt completely safe we started on a small rock to get a feel for how it works then gradually we went on the bigger rocks. I loved every minute of it and would recommend this to anyone, especially those who may be worried before booking! You do NOT need to worry at all, enjoy every minute of it! I want to do it again!
