Dart Stables
Ride of the Rings horseriding
Be transported to MiddleEarth astride your own steed!
Following the beautiful drive along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, passing Ithilien and stopping enroute to admire The Misty Mountains, you eventually arrive in Paradise where your 1½ hour ride starts. Winding through the golden woods of Lothlórien, passing Amon Hen, the track opens up and the Golden Mile begins. From here the views of the Wizard's Vale and the mighty peak of Methedras are breathtaking. A gradual descent takes riders down into Nan Curunír, finally dismounting at the base of Isengard.
Probably the most scenic horse ride in the world, and a must for The Lord of the Rings fans. Suitable for beginner riders.
