Went as a group of adults and had an awesome time. If you're fit i think its a bit easier and quicker to pull yourself around the obstacles and back out of the water but there are still lots of handles to help out. It would be great to do an adult only session.
My 2 boys aged 13 & 15 had lots of fun playing on the inflatable water playground. Staff were friendly & engaging. I bought a blanket & picnic, and watched to boys from the river bank. Great day out for us all. Highly recommend.
The kids loved it. Next time I’d bring their wetsuits as it’s pretty cold. You do need to be able swim and it does require some upper body strength to pull yourself out of the water. The wobbly floating round obstacle was really fun! We could do the air pillow due to the wind which is fair enough. The staff were great and I felt in safe hands.
A visit at Silverstream Alpacas was an absolute delight! Spending time with those adorable animals were incredibly enjoyable, and the experience was both informative and relaxing. Highly recommend visiting for a charming and memorable time!
This was such a lovely morning activity. Kit is very passionate and knowledgeable about his animals and easy to listen to. Our toddler absolutely loved her time here and Kit was very accommodating to her. Thank you!
We enjoyed the farm tour guided by Kit.. there are lots of lovely alpacas in his farm that you closely touch and feed. Kit also shared the history of his farm and the habits of alpaca. Amazing experience!
I've never been to an alpaca farm, it was great experience and would definitely visit again. The farm owner, Kit, showed us around the farm as a farm tour guide. Kit was very friendly and pleasant to speak to. It was very educative to learn about alpacas and the background of the farm. Seeing and interacting with award-winning alpacas felt like a special experience, and surprisingly we weren't spitted by them at all! (yes, I was a bit scared in case that happened) After the tour we were allowed to stay in the farm with alpacas and feed them, baby alpacas were so cute and we were able to pet them a lot. We knocked on the door before leaving the farm, sorry we missed saying goodbye to you Kit, but we will definitely come back again. Thank you for the amazing experience! :)
What a wonderful experience! I was a bit nervous that our 18 month old would be afraid because she hasn’t been around alot of larger animals but the gentle alpacas at Silverstream made her feel quite at ease and she really enjoyed patting and feeding them. Our guide was excellent and we learned so much about Alpacas and their wool. Would 100% recommend. Definitely hope to go back again!
Amazing flight a must do for aviation fans. I did this this for my 13th birthday the instructor was really friendly and cool, probably the best present ever!
Despite the rain it was a fantastic and fun activity to do. My kids loved it and wanted to stay longer!
Took my kids, 7 and 10. They had a blast and the staff were patient and helpful. Worth the money, I highly recommend.
Awesome time Must do activity in christchurch
Great activity that challenges all...staff were very friendly and knowledgeable ☺
Really great venue, courses for all abilities, some upper body strength needed brilliant day. Staff were really great always to help
Had so much fun even though I've been a few times it's always fun with new people I drag along:p
Adrenalin Forest beat my body aware 11 year old climbing freak - we look forward to coming back in a few years to complete the last two courses! The safety standards were the very best we have seen with an innovative connection technology that ensures that you are always connected to the safety cable, while giving you the flexibility to manoeuvre by clipping and unclipping rather than dragging lops round the course. One of the huge advantages for us was that because my son is over 1.45m tall he was able to go on the course on his own, with me spotting/supervising from the ground.
This was a really fun experience, highly recommend! The guides were so lovely and informative and you can see they really love and care for the horses! The trek is the perfect amount of time and the sights along the way are just absolutely tranquil, with the sounds of the birds and the waimak river - the water crossing was a highlight for sure! And I loved learning about each horses individual personality and backstory! Great for all levels and ages our group that we were booked with had children in it as well and they did so well on the horses and the horses did well too! Also there was a very cute dog and cat that were loving pats as well! I Recommend this hidden gem experience!
A really fun ride! Recommend to anyone that want to try horse riding!
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.❤️🌸
Very enjoyable, beautiful views, lovely guide. The horses were well behaved and easy going. Thank you so much
Fantastic historical horse tracks, enjoyable first time horse riding, and well experienced guide.
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
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 😊
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
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 ♡
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.
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.
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!
Good experience in Christchurch
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
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.
We loved the experience ❤️ sachan was amazing host❤️
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!
Awesome! well worth the money. Loverly ladies. Would definitely recommend.
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
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!!?
