A relaxed paced horse trek through beautiful farmland to the shores of Moke Lake...
Highlights
- Easy grade terrain and walking pace - perfect for beginners, families and children
- Beautiful Queenstown back country ride surrounded by rugged mountains and local farm animals
- Ride through slow moving rivers and along the shores of Moke Lake
- Safety ensured with hand picked horses and comfortable saddles fitted with a special safety stirrup
- Experienced and supportive accompanying guide
Meet our friendly horses and saddle up for a trek across our working farm to the beautiful Moke lake, located just 20 minutes from central Queenstown.
Our relatively flat ride trail is set beneath high rugged mountains, through fresh water rivers leading us to the shores of Moke Lake - a picturesque lake often missed by the tourist crowds.
All riders will get up close and personal to the farm animals such as the Merino sheep, Angus cattle, Paradise ducks and local birdlife making the experience even more surreal.
We cross many slow moving fresh water rivers and streams before reaching Moke Lake where you will be blown away by its beauty - especially on a clear day.
This ride is perfect for beginners and families with younger children, our well trained horses and experienced guides will look after each and every rider to make them feel safe and comfortable along the way.
All of our horses are fitted with soft freeform endurance style saddles providing a comfortable ride for both the rider and the horse. So come along and explore the farm and Moke Lake for yourself!

Très bonne expérience
Très bonne expérience pour moi, l'équipe a été attentionnée, les chevaux sont tous bien dressés et traités avec respect, et les paysages traversés lors de la balade sont vraiment beaux (on traverse des rivières, un pré de vaches, sans parler des montagnes !) Ma seule déception, en tant que cavalière expérimentée : toute la balade se fait au pas car il y a des débutants dans le groupe... Dommage Si vous souhaitez plus de sensations, il faut prendre un tour privé.

Such a cool experience
We had such a great time on the Ben Lomond horse trek on our Honeymoon. The scenery is breathtaking and our guide was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Bad experience
The guide walking behind was not attentive, my saddle opened and I fell down. Inspite of my telling her that I'm tilting towards my right side, she didn't get down to check and I fell badly on my back. I sprained my neck and I'm in bed. My entire trip got spoilt just because of her negligence. They didn't handle the situation well. I would not recommend Ben lemons horse trek to anyone.

Hi Aditi, sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. We would have appreciated if you could have told us when you returned that you were in pain so that we could have helped further but you stated that you were all okay and refused any assistance. The saddles can't open and the girths are checked multiple times before the trek starts. As stated in the safety demonstration, it is your responsibility to keep your self centered and balanced and if you do not keep your balance, the saddle can at times slide to the side despite the saddle and girth being fitted appropriately and safely. We wish you a speedy recovery.
