The hidden historic trails that we explore are threaded through the NZ Southern Alps, lost to most travelers on the winds of time.

Had a wonderful 5 days trekking Lake Hawea, Hunter Valley with Adventure Trekking. Angie and John are great hosts and work very hard to ensure we all have a great experience. The food, the scenery, horses and accommodation are all super, thank you.

I loved every minute of the four days I spent with John & Ange, an awesome group of like-minded riders, and their beautiful heard of horses,  (and Tui the dog of course!).  On the Birchwood Station trek we explored beautiful countryside and ate delicious meals, all prepared by Ange.  I was very sad to leave but I am already planning my next trek - I'm hooked!

What an incredible adventure completing the Musterers Pack Trail from St Bathans to the Ahuriri Valley. We waded through rivers, crossed shingle slides, scaled mountains, stayed in back country huts and experienced a range of weather, all of which added to the journey. John our guide was amazing, a great host and an exceptional horseman. The horses were all stunning, obviously so well loved and cared for. Angie prepared delicious food for us to cook up in the huts and made us wonderful meals before and after our trek. I could not recommend this company enough if you want to experience an authentic horse trek in Central Otago.

Feel so privileged to be able to experience the NZ backcountry on horse-back. The horses are purpose bred, know their job and give you confidence to enjoy the scenery and this incredible experience. Wonderful hosts, stories and evening laughs. Loved it!!

This trek exceeded all of our expectations.  John and Angie are fantastic and their helpers, Natalie and Suzie where awesome.  Our horses, Tussock and Chanook where so good and matched well to our riding capabilities.  This is an immersive experience and we loved how we could be involved with as much as we wanted to, such as catching horses, helping with saddles, as well as helping in the huts.  The scenery and experience was exceptional and I would recommend Adventure Horse Trekking to anyone who wants an authentic South Island horse trekking experience.  Thank you for such good memories.

Expect the unexpected! Exceptional value for money.  Our family group was part of a larger group riding the Birchwood 3 day boutique trail.  Everyone had their individual needs meet with care and precision.  Think varied days on horse back, well cared for and loved horses, great food, great beds with lovely clean linen, entertainment in the evenings and friendly smiles all the while. What more could you ask for!!

Sensational trek at Birchwood Station.  Horses, scenery and organisation were superb.  Adventure Horse Trekking deserve the highest praise for matching a beautiful team of horses with their respective riders.  Highly recommend this adventure.
