Karamu Trail Track

“Wow what an experience!!! We had an absolute blast riding here and the staff were amazing. Everyone was so friendly and there was a good atmosphere with plenty of laughs. The horses are cared for well and look healthy 🐎 To help you decide what to go for, here was our experience: We booked in for the 1.5h group trek and we really enjoyed it! The group was made up of various experience levels and the staff catered to them well. The horses are well behaved, properly desensitised and trained. There are horses for all level of abilities and riders get matched up with a horse that suits their skills & experience. Most of the trek was walking through pretty scenery with cows, sheep, baby lambs, birds, rabbits and other local wildlife. There were a few optional opportunities for cantering (following a guide) and some trotting opportunities if you feel confident taking your horse out of formation for short bursts. This is great for anyone who has never ridden before all the way up to lower intermediate riders. Afterwards we asked the owners if we could do a private ride (just the two of us with a guide) and they happened to have a guide available which was great. We spent another hour riding faster through all sorts of amazing terrain including, ponds, steep slopes made of rubble, muddy tracks with tight bends, dense woods with tree obstacles, stepped rocky inclines and more. Our guide was absolutely the best and always had our safety in mind while keeping the ride fun and technically challenging for added sense of adventure. If you are an upper intermediate rider (that can at a bare minimum comfortably stop, control the horse & sustain a canter, in addition to being able to react to horses behaviour to any surprises that might happen on the trail), give Karamu Trail Track a call/sms and ask if they have availability for a more challenging ride. A huge thank you to all the amazing staff Megan, Krissie, Robert, Dan, Jaz and David! You have made this experience amazing!”

“5 Stars - Exceptional experience and unbeatable customer service! We booked a 2-hour horse trek on July 18th, and completely on our end, we underestimated the drive time from Auckland down toward Hamilton. We arrived late, and honestly, we would have fully understood if we couldn't join the ride anymore or if our trek had to be cut short. Instead, Krysie and her team went above and beyond for us. They managed to find an extra guide who waited for us so we could ride out, catch up with the main group, and join them for the rest of the trek! This was my very first time riding a horse, and it was such an awesome, memorable experience. We've been recommending Karamu Trail Track to all our friends (especially after they saw our Instagram posts and stories!). We are already planning to come back in the spring for the glow worm trek. A huge thank you to Krysie and the team for being so accommodating and giving us such a wonderful day. A+++!”
