Our Team

Samantha and Nathan started Wanaka Horse Trekking in 2023. Since then we've had many amazing team members, dedicated guides and fabulous horses. Currently we have 16 horses, most of them are lovely standardbreds. Horses and their welfare are our biggest priority over anything else in the business. 

​

​Horse riding at West Wanaka station is the dream, which we like to share with you. Connecting with a beautiful animal, exploring the remote nature, and doing something active. Besides that it is very special to have made so many friendships with people who have come for rides, connecting together, sharing life stories, and having a good time together.
