MUST VISIT - From the beginning it was fantastic. Great communication with the company. The tour itself was the highlight of our New Zealand trip. Our guide was very communicative and made my first time on the horse so much fun. Clay shooting after went just as much fun, with my wife having a blast. Highly recommended, best moment in new Zealand for us, will come back.

Fabulous Mum & Daughter Date - The horses had such lovely natures and for people like my daughter and I, who are inexperienced with horses, we felt safe and knew the horses would take care of us. Fabulous views and peaceful pathways. The staff were patient, friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

A must do if you love horses - It was the most relaxing horseback riding experience I’ve ever had. The beautiful view of the lake, fun conversation with the guide, and cheeky horses were just what I needed to feel connected to the local nature and people. Highly recommend!

Wonderful horse riding experience - highly recommend! - This place was honestly pretty magical. My partner and I went here while visiting Rotorua, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. I’ve got some experience with horses, but my partner doesn’t, and the team here helped her feel comfortable and get going on her horse. The horses were well-trained and friendly, very easy to ride and knew the trails well. We did the hour ride and really enjoyed it, you go along some trails, through the fields with cows and sheep then up to the top of the hill for a beautiful view with some lovely photo opportunities. Shout out to Nicola, our guide. She was super experienced with horses and made it really easy for us, had a good chat while we were riding and she taught me all about horses.

Spectacular view, good for beginners - We had an incredible experience. My husband had never rode a horse before. The horses were well trained and the guides were very helpful. And the view at the top of the hill is spectacular!

Worst experience i have ever had with trip advisors and adventure playground rotorua. - Hi, That was one of the worst experience i have ever had in my life from Adventure playground and Trip Advisors team as well, I did a booking of horse tracking for 3rd of March 2024 but unfortunately due to extreme wether provider called me and said please cancel your booking because you won’t be able to do the tracking. Then I cancelled my booking and i asked operator about my refund because i was almost reached there, he suggested me to cancel the booking and said you will get the refund because we are the one calling you to cancel it. And i did the same, I haven’t received any notification about refund and i have received any refund and i emailed customer service team of trip advisor, no body is replying to my email. I have lost almost $94 USD just for no reason. I will never choose trip advisor for booking next and will not suggest to anyone to use trip advisors. Thanks
