 HORSE RIDING HOLIDAYS IN NEW ZEALAND 
 

Aotearoa (the Maori name for New Zealand meaning 'the land of the long white cloud') consists of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, with several smaller islands offshore.  Being located on the Pacific's 'Ring of Fire' means that the country benefits from geothermal areas and hot springs, vast mountain ranges and spectacular sounds and fjords.

New Zealand has over 15,000kms of varied coastline, perfect for swimming, surfing and horseriding. Our Coast to Coast ride in Northland takes you from the Tasman Sea in the West over spectacular rugged countryside to the calm seas of the Pacific Ocean in the East. 

The Maori people are indigenious to New Zealand and their culture is rich and varied with a fascinating mix of traditional and contemporary arts. Traditions such as carving, weaving, kapa haka (group performance), whaikorero (oratory) and moko (tattoo) are practised throughout the country. The Warrior Trail is a cultural and historical ride following ancient Maori warrior trails through coastal bush and high country.

The South Island is the larger of the two main islands but has a population of just over 1 million people, compared to 3 million in the North Island. The dramatic landscape has made it a popular location for the production of several films, including The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Hobbit.
