Beautiful location and a wonderful ride. High Recommended
Review for Gills Canyon Horse Trek near Queenstown - 2 Hours
The views were absolutely beautiful! And what better way to see them than on horseback. Not only this, the staff were amazing, and although I’m an experienced rider we had mixed abilities in our group. And they made everyone feel so comfortable and were great as explaining everything. The horses were all great, and knew exactly what they were doing.
