About this activity

Combine a unique horse ride on the beach with tasting some of New Zealand’s Luxurious wines after strolling down one of the most beautiful Sculpture Tracks between the Vineyards. The Beach Horse Riding & Wine Tasting Tour is a great escape!

Tour Starts by picking you up from your Accommodation in Auckland CBD, then we head north of Auckland through the scenic Roads of Rodney Region.

When we arrive at our Horse Riding, you will have some time to meet your tour guide and your horse before starting the ride.

The guide will explain to you the safety instruction and how to ride the horse. Then you will enjoy a one-hour horse ride on one of the most beautiful Beaches in NZ, Watching the Blue Water hugging the white sand while soaking in the sunshine.

Ride along the pristine white sand beach, enjoy the seabirds you encounter… endangered NZ Dotterill, oyster catchers and many others then return through dunes and pohutukawa glades. Enjoy the magnificent views out over Little Barrier and Hen & Chicken Islands.

If you are especially fortunate you may be able to ride with the wild dolphins as they play in the waves but this cannot be guaranteed.

After that, we will take you to discover a unique art trail between the Vine Leaves and taste some of New Zealand’s Luxurious Wines. The Trail takes about one-hour easy hike return. Embark on a compelling outdoor gallery experience, where an ever-changing exhibition of around 45 sculptures by leading New Zealand artists are sensitively sited along the 2km trail. Experience sculpture framed by towering native trees and majestic palms, abundant birdlife and green pastures, overlooking the celebrated Brick Bay Vineyard.
