Trail TreksRiding part or all of the the Otago Central Rail Trail on horseback. Imagine how amazing that would be. What's more, Trail Treks will do all the arranging for you. Airport connections. Accommodation. Everything. All you do is mount up and in the company of your 'Trail Boss' literally hit the trail. A 'Camp Mother' also comes along to look after the needs of you and those of your trusty steed. Trail Trek horses are 'bomb proof' and have been specially trained for conditions on the Rail Trail by owner and experienced horsewoman Kelly Keenan. Cyclists riding up behind them, high viaducts and dark tunnels are all taken in their stride.

Trail Treks can plan and organise a start to finish Rail Trail horse trek or a 'combo experience' where you may elect to spend just a day on horseback with the rest of your time cycling or walking. Trail Treks also organise high country trail riding experiences.

Only Trail Treks holds a concession from the Department of Conversation to provide guided horse treks along the Otago Central Rail Trail.
