Horse Riding

A breathtaking high-country experience at one of New Zealand’s most isolated working farms.

Your experience starts with a spectacular scenic flight through to Minaret Station’s 50-000-acre farm, with a snow or alpine landing en route. More than a horse-riding excursion, traverse the undulating landscapes with your personal horse and guide as you experience Minaret Station and Lake Wanaka from a perspective very few have.

Combine your trail ride with further exploration on this private property, including an extended 4WD farm tour, lake fishing, and a gourmet picnic lunch.
