Horseback Riding the Horse Treks Wonderland of New Zealand

Seeking the ultimate horseback riding adventure in New Zealand?...Then I can assure you that their is no better place than the Kawhia and Aotea harbour region's... Considered by thousands of horse back riding enthusiasts, to be the horse treks capital of NZ...

And I should know...Before I had turned even three years old, I had pony trekked a ten kilometre stretch of the Kawhia ocean beach over 300 times bareback with my dad...

Kawhia and Aotea harbours, located in the King Country region, may be way off the tourist's beaten track...but it's natural beauty and scenic wonders, along with one of the most stunning ocean beach's in the world...make visiting this eco-wonderland... well worth visiting...Especially if you're passionate about horse back riding...

The local tangata whenua (people of the land)...specialise in guiding visitors on horse treks, from one hour, to many days...You will trek on ancient Maori warrior coastal trails, that journey across breath-taking terrain...from forests...farmland and beach's...

On the longer horse back riding treks, you will experience Maori hospitality at it's most interesting. You will be entertained...fed good kiwiana tucker...and even a hangi may be available.

And the most exciting part of the adventure, that everyone enjoys...is the barge ride with your horse...across the harbour...

Accommodation is varied, depending on the duration of the horsetrek...But usually a Maori marae stay is included...along with camping in the wilderness...

The best months for these riding adventures are from Sept-May...

If you are interested in saddling up with us...or you have trekked with us before...Please share your pictures and comments...

Otherwise, please follow my upcoming horseback adventures, which I will write about very soon...
