Our standard Trek lasts 2h. We ride through a dairy farm to the beach and spend around 40-60min at the beach. Plenty of time to have a splash in the waves with the horses, take pictures or look for green stone. If you are lucky you can see the gold sparkle in the sand or have a good view of the Southerns Alpes. Best time for a ride is around low tide as we don't have much beach at high tide.
