About your trip

Can you imagine a unique horseback adventure riding the stunning Lake Hawea exploring two iconic New Zealand South Island stations.

This trail heads deep into the heart of the Hunter Valley a world famous fly fishing river. Crystal clear glacial rivers flow from the snow capped mountain peaks through to the enigmatic lake.

We often see wild deer, native New Zealand falcons and trout playing as we ride.

The isolation of this trail gives us the opportunity to relax and take a well earned digital detox. Disconnecting the crazy do it now world and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature.

This is Angie's favorite trail.
