High
Ride Adventure provides 2 fun packed adventures in the stunning
Te Anau back country. Take your pick from a horse trek along the
serene Whitestone river or a breath taking quad bike ride over Denby
Hill.
Horse
Treks
Meet Cilla, Hooter, Babe and their mates and enjoy riding them on
a scenic trek with wonderful views along Fiordland's Whitestone
river. We have very experienced guides and horses, so all levels
of ability are catered for in small groups.
When riding
with High Ride Horse Treks, you get to see everything. With Red
Deer on one side, sheep on the other, cattle mixed in and more farm
animals on the way, you experience farming New Zealand style close
up.
Winding through
the trees gives a feeling of stillness and tranquility before walking
down to the Whitestone River. Pristine and clear, this river is
known far and wide, for its trout fishing. Walking the banks of
the Whitestone, the scenery is a highlight along this stretch, with
the backdrop of snowcapped mountains.
Small groups
are a feature of the trek, as are the horses who are known for their
responsiveness and individual character. High Ride takes pride in
the care and presentation of their horses. Come and meet the team
at High Ride and feel part of the family. High Ride horse treks
are run simultaneously with High Ride quad bike adventures so feel
free to mix up your group.

Quad Bikes
Even if you have never been on a motorbike before, we will give
you all the training you need. You will start off riding through
flat and gently rolling paddocks to familiarise yourself with the
bike. As you go, you will have the chance to experience sheep and
deer farming
close up.
From there,
the tour winds through Te Anau's back country. The climb to the
summit of Danby Hill is a bit more challenging but as you reach
the crest the view will take your breathe away.
A moment to
rest and take a photo, you can see all the way from Lake Manapouri
up Lake Te Anau and around to the Mavora Valley.
The trip back
down will give you a chance to put into practice all you have learned,
as well as have a play around. By this stage you will be buzzing
from the exhilarating ride, so take a quiet ride back across the
farm paddocks. Or perhaps a fast dash for those more racy
riders.
