About
Selena, the organiser from Ahipara Horse Treks, wanted to share some exciting details about their locally owned and operated horseback riding service in Ahipara, situated at the base of Ninety Mile Beach, just a 10-minute drive from Kaitaia.
Ahipara Horse Treks has a variety of trek options along the stunning west coast beach, giving everyone a chance to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the thrill of ocean riding. They cater to riders of all ages and abilities with their herd of safe and suitable horses. When you book, Selena ensures you're matched with the best horse for your age, height, weight, and experience level for a safe and enjoyable ride.
They offer different standard trek options: a one-hour trek at $90 per rider, a 90-minute trek for $110, and a two-hour trek at $140. For kids, there's a walk to the beach for $70 and a pony paddock ride for $25. Special summer rides include a sunset ride for $150 and a swim ride for $90.
Custom treks are also available on request. These can include paddock rides for young kids, rides for large groups or school groups, and longer, more challenging rides for experienced riders. Group discounts apply for four riders or more.
Booking is essential and operates year-round, depending on the weather. There's a weight limit of 95 kg per rider due to the horses' nature. A deposit of $20 per rider or $50 per booking is required to secure your spot, unless otherwise negotiated. Let Selena know if you have any medical conditions.
For experienced riders, they offer BYO horse treks, allowing you to explore the Far North with your own horse. They can also organise 2-3 day rides for groups, with horses available for hire if needed.
Selena loves making special occasions even more memorable, so if you're planning a wedding, consider adding a unique horseback riding experience.
