Hut Ride, 2 days - 1 night
- Dauer: 1 Tage (ca.)
- Ort: Wanaka, Otago
- Produkt-Code: PJQYSD
The trek is a beautiful 15km ride through a variety of landscapes, it feels like you are travelling through different country. There is a good 4km climb winding it's way uphill towards the hut which then gives the most beautiful views of Lake Wanaka.
Nathan will drive a truck with our gear, and food, so we only need to bring the minimum on the horses. This means we can have fun doing some trotting and cantering as well.
We believe this ride is one of the best in New Zealand.
The food and non alcoholic drinks are included. We work with a local chef who makes the best meals right from her garden. We then bring it with us so you will be well nourished.
Once you arrive at camp there will be a cheese platter waiting for you with your drinks while I take care of your horse. However if you like to help you are more than welcome to. We can work with dietary requirements so please tell us if there are any. There will be a lot of food so you won’t leave hungry.
Because we ride up a big mountain this means the second day involves a little bit of walking. We value the health of our horses a lot, and to keep them strong and healthy we don't want to ride them down a steep hill. This saves their shoulders, and we keep them happy and healthy.
This means you will have to lead your horse down for 20-30 minutes which is quite nice actually. They are very easy to lead, or else I can lead a few if that is easier. Plus you get to look down the most beautiful view of Wanaka!
