This is probably one of the most scenic horse rides in the world with adventure and new discovery’s at every turn.
As you travel by horse back into the high country and leave the world behind you. You will enter the valley floor and amble along the cold mountain fed stream. Discover the hidden trail entering the mystic pools before riding out to the Otarama Look Out whilst viewing the incredible Canyon of the Mighty Waimakariri River and then follow the musterers’ trail as you descend the Waimakariri Canyon and then travel back up through the mystic forest before returning to base.
