Muriwai Beach Horse Treks Auckland
π Muriwai, Auckland
Guided horse trekking along Muriwai's black sand beach and Woodhill forest. Well-trained Clydesdales, guides who match horses to rider experience. Beginner lead-rein walks to intermediate treks with trotting and cantering. Guides photograph the ride.
Absolutely loved riding here! Iβve been taking weekly English riding lessons over the past two years and the 2 hr Intermediate Horse Trek was the perfect opportunity to practice trotting and short canters outside of the arena. Our guide Clara was so kind and talented, she happily offered to take photos and videos (while cantering π€―) and took great care of me on the trail. The horses were clearly loved and well trained. I rode a sweet Clydesdale named House who was absolutely solid β forward, honest, and never spooked during the ride. I felt very safe and happy throughout the experience π₯° Thank you Clara and House!
π Family Action Verdict
Clara, Sienna, and Tancy photograph the ride mid-canter without breaking stride. Fran's Clydesdale House was described as 'forward, honest, and never spooked' β that says everything about how the horses are kept and prepared.

βHad an exceptional experience with Muriwai Horse Treks on the Waterfall Trek! I rode Frankie, who was an absolute gem β calm, sure-footed, and clearly very well cared for. The scenery was absolutely stunning and the whole experience was unforgettable. I hadnβt properly ridden for many years, but they did a fantastic job catering for my experience level and making me feel comfortable and confident. You can really tell how much they love and look after their horses. Highly recommend and I canβt wait to be back!β

βHighly recommend, this company went above and beyond to make a dream come true of riding on the beach with my daughter. Opo and Dark were absolutely brilliant, our guide Sienna was incredible and we felt safe the entire time. The horses are very well maintained and the guides put them first at all times which is always wonderful to see. All in all highly recommend! π₯° thank you so much team! We are beyond grateful and cannot wait to come back and do it all again!β

βI thoroughly enjoyed my experience from start to finish, I was sad when it ended- it went by too quickly! Highly recommended if youβre a tourist or an Aucklander! The horses are great, it was first time I have ever ridden a Clydesdale so that was a treat! The guides Tancy and Sienna were brilliant - they should get a bonus/raise! Their knowledge and expertise were superb Thank you for such a wonderful time! Hope to do another ride soon!! ππ«Άππ΄π¦πβ
