Horse Trekking
Otahuna Horse Riding. Horse whisperer Kate Tapley and her team guide gentle rides at Otahuna, near the city, Akaroa, and Mt. Lyford near Kaikoura. To aid the horse-rider connection, each ride begins with a partnering session. You'll have stunning views of the Canterbury Plains and the encircling mountain ranges from your saddle. Guided rides start at $130 for 2½ hours; $240 for a full day. Overnight rides to Governors Bay are available for $360, plus accommodation. All gear is provided. Rhodes Rd., Tai Tapu, 7672. 03/329-0160. www.otahunariding.co.nz.
