It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:

  • warm clothes are essential for high country weather;
  • power banks – no electricity supply for charging devices.

These trips are entirely based outdoors and will be big days on horseback so make sure that you have prepared to be comfortable. Gear will be carted to each accommodation ahead of our arrival on horse-back, please ensure that you have packed your bags so that items are not going to fall out en-route. Cameras are optional and encouraged so that you can capture your adventure. We advise that you have a neck strap and a travel case for your camera so that it can be stored and carried in a way that is compatible with riding a horse at the same time.
