To start with we went on a 3 day pack trip. The horse were well looked after and the ride location was lovely. There was a hammock. There left alot of unknowns until arrival. The tent was a regular old tent no stove or anything for heat. Cots were provided. No drinks are provided the water is from an untested stream not too far from where you are suppose to go to the bathroom. The bathroom is a squatters lou.
Main meals are provided but very small and repeated meals. Snacks are not provided and dietary restrictions are not their concern so you must voice those on your own. They have some 60 litre water proof bags for your things. There is no place to swim none. Fishing is in the pond at the bottom of the bathroom creek. Or a small rocky river. Do not expect good service, you must tell the guides constantly what you want to do and when you are hungry. Multiple Rides are not without work, again you must ask. The wranglers keep to themselves and do as they please while you sit around camp, bring cards and a book. Do not expect any conversing with the staff they pretty much ignore you. Do not expect them to be happy when you ask to go for a ride and interrupt their fishing or visiting amongst themselves. Do not expect anyone to ask you if you enjoyed the trip as the end or ask you to come back. Do expect to be rushed off the property. Do expect them to bring their dogs around the horses whom clearly do not like the dogs around them. As a group of 2 both our horses were startles by the dogs and reared up more than once. Be prepared as a rider this outfit is not ment for unskilled riders for the pack trips, stick to day rides for beginners or kids. Do pack tall boots if you want to walk around camp or to the river their are alot of rough bushes to hack through. Do expect the horses to Wander back home and leave you horseless for hours while you wait for them to get wrangled back. Do expect if you are the last pack trip of the season for them to leave you sitting around camp for hours while they pack up camp completely for the year. Do not expect to have much of a say as your opinion will not matter.
We did speak to the owner and got a bit of a deal. But the bad taste is still there. read more
