The Treks

Because most of our treks involve several river crossings and take you into wild and challenging places we don't have set treks. Weather, river levels, and ground conditions in the bush are often changing. Having the Ellis, Baton, Skeet, McCarthy and Clarke valleys gives us huge scope to personalize a special trek to meet the needs of each small group on the day. With a maximum of five clients on each trek we really can maintain the quality of the experience. Our whole operation has its focus on quality. Small is beautiful.

Visions abound in this inspiring environment. We have access to many thousands of acres and we take pride in our flexibility. The options for our journeys are many and we tailor our treks to personally fit each small group. The terrain ranges from verdant farm land to challenging wild places. Exhilarating ridge rides through native bush take you towards the tops. You'll explore five peaceful valleys with their unspoiled rivers.

We take time to match you with a horse compatible with your riding ability. We specialise in providing well-schooled, free-moving horses for advanced riders. Because of the nature of our terrain and the horses' wellbeing, we have an 85kg rider weight limit.
