A stand-out trail ride! Lots of opportunities to trot and canter, but also accessible and comfortable for beginners. The special saddle and "monkey strap" made it easy for my partner (who's a novice rider) to feel safe and secure even while going fast. Summer was terrific.

We called at 9:30 this morning and they were able to accommodate us for a private trail ride at 12:30. We spoke to Kelly who was so kind and helpful! When we arrived, we were greeted by the great staff and given a quick lesson before we were fitted with helmets and headed out. Kelly was our guide and she was so patient and encouraging with my two kiddos (9 and 10) who are very beginner. Our ride was stunning - she went at our pace and gave us great history and background of the land and the area. She even snapped some fantastic pictures for us! Kelly’s horses are gorgeous, obviously very well cared for, and extremely well trained. I can’t recommend enough! 10/10

We have had a wonderful morning with Emily’s team and your wonderful horses. Both my daughter and I have found the guides friendly and helpful, with excellent support throughout the ride. We never felt unsafe and once the weather cleared up, we also got to enjoy the stunning view. We loved the horses, they are easy to handle, and well matched to our riding abilities.

Friendly and quick service. The kids loved the playground and it was easy to sit in the beer garden to watch them. Food was good and mulled wine delicious

We had an excellent time on the quad bike tour today at Cardrona. Spent time in the beautiful back country of Cardrona. Kat and Kelly made the trip fun, interesting and safe . The trek can be a bit tricky in parts but you are never under any pressure to do more than you are comfortable and Kat is happy fir you to ride in the buggy for as much or as little as you want . The scenery is spectacular and the commentary interesting too.

We did the quad bike tour with Kelly. I have never been on a quad bike before, so Kelly was extremely helpful and made sure I felt comfortable before we started ascending the mountain. The views were spectacular and we really enjoyed the tour. We also loved the warm welcome from the furry residents - Jimmy, Ettie and Barney.

We got our money's worth and more. Blandine was an amazing guide, we got the chance to learn about the area, see fantastic views and have an amazing experience, all in one. Highly recommend

Absolutely loved the horse ride through the gorgeous Cardrona countryside. Kelly was knowledgeable, polite, and provided a professional service. Lovely tame horses that were used to being mounted by strangers. Lots of interesting information and tidbits throughout! Pictures were included in the price - not sure why other reviews suggest otherwise.

The views were great and it was fun! My only complain is that... you pay about $350 for this experience and the lady in the end still asked a $25 fee for the mediocre photos she took on her iPhone of us... I just didn't really make sense either because if I had asked the companions joining us to take the photos for us using my phone they would've said yes the lady didn't have a problem with that and then they would've been free? We are students and already paying a lot to have this experience. To try and get the extra bucks for mid photos we could've taken ourselves is a bit, well, tone deaf in my opinion.

My husband and I booked the 2-hour quad bike experience and were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour with our guide Emily that day. After a thorough safety briefing and some test runs, we travelled across a variety of terrain including grass, rocks, mud and creeks, and rode up through farmland to the top of one of the mountains in the Pisa Range. It was challenging in places but definitely manageable, even for relative novices, and Emily's instructions and advice were excellent. We took a different track on the way down. Each section was a lot of fun and the views were incredible. There was no snow at our summit (at the end of June) and the weather was pretty cloudy, but once we got above the cloud line we had spectacular views of the landscape and across to the snow capped mountains and Cardrona ski field. Tip - do not wear your best gear as it gets very muddy and you will get splashed, especially after rain! We were able to borrow gumboots, ski gloves and big jackets to protect our clothes which I was grateful for. Emily took photos of our trip which we were able to purchase for $25. We took the morning tour at 10am and stopped by the Cardrona Hotel for lunch afterwards to relive our adventure. Couldn't recommend it highly enough, thanks to Emily and the company for a major trip highlight.

Enjoyed the views on the quad bikes, our guide was friendly and informative. It was only my partner and I on the quads and another family in a buggy so it made it more fun and focus. Going up the mountains were steady and not too challenging or dangerous however whilst going up I was thinking this is going to be difficult coming back down however we went a different way to come down which I felt safe. The cat was really cute and friendly and greeted as warmly. There are toilets on site and the inside waiting area is warm and inviting.

Even better than expected! Kel was a great guide, the ride was fun and fast paced and well matched to rider experience! The horses were excellent and well cared for. No snow on the ground but the scenery was lovely, visit to the gorgeous pub well worthwhile.

This was such an amazing experience! Anna was our wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area, sharing lots of fun facts and made me feel safe on the horse as I was a beginner. Beautiful views the whole way and a stop at the iconic Cadrona Hotel.

The guides, one of them Blandine, were very friendly and ensured safety of all the quad bike riders. Tour was paced really well and the distance driven (we went up and up!) was suitable even for beginners. The steep terrain of the valley was daunting at first but you get used to it and at the peak, your eyes will be treated a to a beautiful view of the valley and adjacent mountains. What a sight to behold!

We had the BEST time on our ride with Blandine :) she was so lovely and it was such a nice change to do a ride with such amazing views. We did a nice few trots and canters and the horses were great. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a horse trek that’s worth the money!
