Horse Treks through some of Canterbury’s most pristine wilderness and natural landscapes.
Our horse trekking adventures offer breathtaking views of the Canterbury plains, glacial fed rivers, lakes and mountains.
Our purpose-built base is ideally situated in the picturesque Fairlie area, which is one of the best-kept secrets of South Canterbury.
We’re located approximately 2.5 hours drive south of Christchurch and 15 kilometres (9.4 miles) off the Inland Scenic Route (HWY79) en-route to Lake Tekapo, Aoraki/ Mount Cook, Wanaka and Queenstown.
