As someone who's never ridden a horse before I was a little nervous before our horse trek. However the guides were great and put me at ease, whilst the horses were very friendly and didn't seem to mind having a complete novice in control. The views out across fiordland were spectacular (remember to take your camera) and in all the... More

We enjoyed a 2 1/2 hour trek through farmland, with magificant views of the surrounding landscape, from lake to mountains. The horses were beautiful and so gentle - it was obvious that they were very well cared for. First time riding for some of the family, but they enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended. More

I spent the whole day in the horse riding center, and every thing was perfect. The owner was kind, nice and trustfully as well as his daughter. I have a good experience in horse riding, so I helped them to bring the sheeps back, and it was the real new zealand cow boy style! The price is very affordable compared... More

We have two young children who love horses as much as we do. They are 5 and 7 years old. The horses at Westray are so well trained - all natural horsemanship - that the children were not afraid, but thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The ride was quite lengthy, stretching for over two hours. The children could then also help... More

Andy hosts a wonderful horse trek -- over two and a half hours the trip winds up through gorgeous hills and farms with vistas of Lake Te Anau, snowcapped mountains, and beautiful farmland. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and highly recommend it! Trips leave throughout the day, the 4:30pm one was lovely! More

Brilliant trek, wonderful vistas. Hard hats, western saddles etc provided. Bit wet in the winter, suggest suitable attire and rubber boots., but that makes it more exciting. Professionally conducted, great value. More

We did the treks just both of us with Andy. The horses were very kind and cared by the owner. The level of the trek is adapted to the level of riders. Very beautiful landscapes, with an amazing vue of the lake and the montains from the top! Super nice trek to do while in Fiordlands!!! More
