Located approximately 1.5 hours south from Christchurch Airport, near the lovely rural town of Geraldine. Our rides run daily all year round and are all in the Peel Forest area, which is one of the few remaining Podacarp Forests in New Zealand. We are situated on the banks of the Rangitata River so you will also get to do some riding through water.

Treks include a, Lord of the Rings ride which takes in Mt Sunday and through working High Country farms.
