Welcome to Paradise Valley Ventures Horse Riding, Rotorua’s premier horse riding adventure experience. We love horses and the outdoors, and we want to share that passion with you. Nothing compares to the feeling of leaving the crowds behind, climbing into the saddle, breathing in the fresh air and riding across beautiful New Zealand farmland.
Trek up through gorgeous rolling green pasture and NZ bush. Take in breathtaking scenery and magnificent panoramic lake views as you make your way up and over our picturesque 700 acre working farm.
We have horse rides for everyone – beginners and advanced riders, young and not so young! Our fully-trained professional team will match you with the best horse for your ability, and make sure that your riding experience is safe and fun. For beginners, there is a free riding lesson included before the trek.
Our number 1 concern is that your horse trekking experience is the best it can be. All our horses are quiet and well-behaved. Helmets are provided, along with rain jackets if required.
Especially for children under 8, pony rides are an opportunity for kids to experience riding, usually for the first time. The horses can be hand led by staff, or children can take the reins themselves if they feel confident enough.
Staff are close by at all times, and children are catered for according to their confidence and ability. We want kids to have a positive first encounter with horses and riding, and a great time on their horse! Parents are welcome to walk along with us if they wish.
