Lake Ride ( 5-6 hours ) | Wanaka Horse Treks

Lake Ride

The ride is 20km total, so not a small ride. Make sure you are physically fit to be the best passenger for your horse.

Important things to consider:

✅ You must speak good English

✅ You must be able to rise in trot and canter

✅ You must be confident, no nervous Nellies
✅ You must be physically fit to mount the horse from the ground. (We'll help you find a higher bank of course.)

Looking for a bit more adventure? Our lake ride is a spectacular journey across the station, taking in the vast mountain ranges, expansive pastures, and native flora and fauna. After a 9.5 km ride, we arrive at our secluded beach on the pristine shores of Lake Wanaka, where we will stop for lunch and allow our horses to rest. There will be an opportunity to take a dip and a swim (alone, or with your horse!) before riding homewards.
