Ride through Wicklow’s Kings River Valley with calm horses, patient guides, and mountain views in a small six-person group.

Review the Walter Peak horse trek and Lake Wakatipu cruise, with practical advice on price, riding time, tea, weather, and who will enjoy it.

Hike four Monteverde waterfalls, cross rustic bridges, swim in a river, ride horseback uphill, and enjoy a Costa Rican lunch.
