    Our family of four had an amazing ride with Liz and her beautiful horses. We are all beginner riders and have only rode 2-3 times previously. She gave us great instruction at the beginning and during the ride on how to lead the horses along the way. The scenery was amazing and Liz also took amazing photos and videos of our ride that will allow us to remember this experience for years to come.

    Had a fantastic afternoon trek through the forest and on the beach. Rod and Georgie made sure we enjoyed our ride and catered for the different levels of experience
    Really made our visit to nz one to remember maybe we'll be back one day and do one of the holiday rides
    And thank you to Bev who emailed us the details and was very friendly in her replies to our many questions.

    My 3 teenagers loved the horse trek across the farm. The horses were well cared for and great for beginners. However, their trip was only 45 mins long instead of 60 mins. When I queried this at the end, the owner said it was a loop track and they "must have ridden a bit fast" but we felt that perhaps the instructor could have taken them on an extra track, or somehow given them the additional time we paid for. If a ride is only one hour long, you want to make sure you get the full hour. The kids enjoyed the views and horses but were disappointed it was so short.

    Silver Fern riding stables offers quality horse riding lessons and horse treks in Waiuku, south of Auckland. The riding lessons are conducted in a purpose built outdoor arena in Waiuku and the horse treks are held in the nearby Waiuku forest. The horse trek takes you through the very pretty forest area and over fairly easy terrain. Lessons are held for both adults and children and caters for beginners to advanced riders. I love the training, the horses the peaceful rural landscape. If you are looking for adventure or to build your riding skills or just to escape the bustle of Auckland for a few hours this is for you. Please remember to wear long pants and enclosed shoes and a camera is a must.

    Cindy was great deal with. The horses are beautiful and very gentle. For a nervous rider they looked after me and made sure I was at ease. The views along the trek are amazing. Would highly recommend.

    Awful customer service- Kelly is rude and has no idea how to treat customers. I booked a ride for my 10 year old daughter- she was so excited and had been looking forward it for months. When we arrived Kelly treated us with contempt- no greeting, no welcome, didn’t even introduce herself so I had to ask one of the other riders who she was as I couldn’t believe she was the owner. Felt so sorry for my daughter.
    When I texted Kelly afterwards to suggest she may want to consider how she treats customers, she was rude and aggressive suggesting that I had “nearly missed the ride”- I arrived 4 minutes after the suggested arrival time, which was ten minutes before the ride was scheduled to start (heavy Auckland traffic- what can I say?) I wouldn’t recommend this place at all- to be honest horses didn’t too great and the place looks a bit run down. If you do go- be warned that Kelly has no inter personal skills.

    I have attended two times to Kiwiana Tours trips. First time in October 2015 and second time December 2017. Both trips were Rotorua -Taupo - Waitomo trips. First time I was alone (working in Auckland) and second time with my husband and son (11 years old). Both trips were well planned and drivers/quides were having good knowledge about places we visited and driving safely all the time. Hotels were about 1 star or 2 star hotels - no problem for us. All the other passengers were students or exchange students, but i/we fit well to group. We saw all what we wanted to see, and were doing everything what we wanted to do. Very good trips for families and adults who does not require luxus.

    Amazing service! I booked three trips with NZfG over the years and would happily book again. I worked with Maya each time, and she is very reliable. She helped me plan my trips from Auckland to Christchurch and back, making excellent recommendations on which routes to take. She helps with car rentals, hotels, ferry, route planning, timing, and even knows some of the best restaurants to eat at all over the country. I would highly recommend NZfG.

    The ride itself took an hour, once you are out on to the beach the view is amazing. One of the best thing you can do.
