I had a really great time coming here. Even though i came in Winter, Liz made riding on the beach possible - just for me! Also, we went to the top of a cliff/mountain (?) And had the most stunning view. As a keepsake, the Fotos taken were absolutely gorgeous.
Big, big recommendation!!

We had such a lovely time with Liz and the horses. My 8 year old and 4 year old had a beginner class and then a ride by the beach. It was a lovely experience for them. We will
Definitely be back to see Secret, the kids fav pony.

Liz was amazing! She gave very clear instructions and took really good photos. It was great to learn a bit about the horses - I had Moss. The ride took us past some truly spectacular views. It’s worth every dollar, I can’t recommend this enough!

Incredible! I was a bit nervous as a first time rider and was worried as it was expensive in order to get there as I had to get a ferry, bus and taxi, but I can not put into words how much is was worth it! Liz was incredibly friendly and instantly put me at ease. Her horse moss was gorgeous and so patient. It was definitely an experience I will never forget. Liz also took the most amazing photos and videos.

Me and my partner did this with no horse riding experience and enjoyed every moment. Liz the instructor was an excellent guide.

Liz is an amazing tour guide! We learned a lot about the area, and the sites were to die for. All of her horses were lovely too. Please remember that animals have preferences just like humans; whenever you go anywhere where you are interacting with animals, be open! Morgan and Walker were wonderful horses to ride. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing experience! Not only is the island scenery stunning but the horses are beautifully cared for by Liz, and a sheer delight to ride! Thank you Moss, Waka and Derado for the privilege of a beach ride and ticking it off my bucket list 😊

Our daughter has never ridden a horse - it was her dream - Liz made our ride so incredibly special, by her kindness in her teachings and patience as we got used to Moss and Waka - both stunning, kind horses. Liz and her horses have a genuine gift of connecting with the hearts of those that they teach - thank you so much Liz for such an amazing afternoon - can’t wait to see you again ♥️

I have had so many wonderful rides with Liz at Waiheke Horse Tours. The most recent was a beginners' lesson and beach ride with my sister and nephew. It was a lovely experience and a great start to their visit to Aotearoa New Zealand. The horses are all wonderful characters and do a great job of looking after riders of all skill levels. Highly recommend!

Waiheke Horse Tours are fantastic. Highly recommend!
When we got to the island for our day trip, Ryda was going to be $66 one way and we opted to do the e-bikes from the ferry station. If you’re thinking about that option pls know that it’s about a 45 min ride both along curvy streets and some hilly gravel/dirt road. We go biking often so this was a fun treat. Liz got us on our horses Waka and Morgan who were perfectly matched to myself and my boyfriend. Our longer ride included a short lesson, a ride up the hill overlooking the bay and back down to the beach. It was the most scenic, private, and authentic experiences we could’ve asked for. The horses were so calm and wonderful to us newbies. The views and paths were like no where else! It was a dream to experience it. The other major perk was Liz took amazing photos and videos of us courtesy with the ride. Thanks Liz, Waka, and Morgan.

Was a lovely day. The place is spectacular surrounded by green hills and a small beach where you can get into the water with the horses. The horses are very well cared for and very healthy. Liz left me some boots to be more comfortable on wet ground. The attention is very good. A totally recommendable experience to enjoy the peace and happiness that horses and nature offer you.

Had a great experience with Liz, she was very welcoming and was great with my 8yr old daughter answering the millions of questions she had and explaining everything to a horse mad child. We did the lesson and the beach walk option. We will be back one day.

Waiheke Horse Tours A++ Would highly recommend and will return for future rides. I’ve been riding before but my experience with Liz and Waka was above and beyond. I really appreciated Liz’s teachings and guidance so I could build a better relationship with Waka before starting our ride. Beautiful, breathtaking location. Thank you! 🥰🐴

Absolutely amazing! I am not a horse person and was a bit nervous about the experience but Liz was so lovely and put me at ease. She chose the perfect horse for me and I had the best time. Would highly recommend!
