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!

景色優美,但安全性不足

Lake Moke 景色很美,但這次騎乘的經驗中,一行人四匹馬,有兩匹都暴衝,我的孩子12歲,騎的馬一度狂奔起來,最後只能跳馬,頭上的攝影主機也都脫落找不著,所幸沒只是扭到,我覺得馬的穩定度不夠高,不是很安全

Awsome scenery !

風景很美,也看到很多動物,沿途經過很多條小溪跟小山丘,適合第二次騎乘,我們一行五人,有二個教練,一個在最前面,一個在最後面,跟在我六歲小女兒後面,她騎得很開心,因為沒有被牽在教練旁邊而是自己騎,推薦這個行程!

来皇后镇一定要尝试,breath-taking

高头大马,骏马+意大利马鞍!带了2个6岁及7岁小孩,都能独立骑不会屁股痛!且不会因为你是小孩就给你矮马,推荐早上的骑行!一路山谷烟云,知道阳光照射散去,最后的lakeview一定会让你震撼!
