点评:We just had an epic weekend in Rotorua and normally don’t do any touristy things. Just focused on the world class mountain biking in whakarewarewa. However with a day extra we decided to change it up and head to Okareka Horse Trekking. Wow so pleased we did! Mum is an experienced rider but Dad and son were a bit nervous having not ridden for years. After a quick intro to our horses we headed up into stunning New Zealand native bush and through a sheep and beef working farm. Plenty of high points to take in the stunning views overlooking Lake Ōkareka and Tarawera and glimpses of Rotorua. You can sit back and trust your guide and horse in a gentle walk or if you’re experience plenty of opportunities to pick up some pace with a nice canter. Lucy and her team of guides gave us heaps of local info and tips on riding along the way. An hour and a half was plenty of time for those not used to being on the back of a horse. Highly recommend this epic adventure if you’re in Rotorua.
