From North to South, a multitude of clubs and professionals offer to take you on guided equestrian excursions. Whether you feel like trotting along the beach or exploring the lush inland vegetation, you will be thrilled by your New Caledonian riding experience. In La Foa, around 20 km from the village, you can combine trail riding and the chance to experience daily life with the Oui Poin Tribe. You will meet friendly people and learn about ancestral kanak traditions. Elise awaits you with a warm welcome to the wild mountain country, just two hours from Noumea. A picturesque riverside setting with mountain views is your base for hikes on foot or horseback along the tribe’s customary paths. The perfect way to explore the magnificent scenery of New Caledonia’s mountain range (La Chaîne).
Another great way to enjoy New Caledonia’s horse-friendly lifestyle is a homestay on a local stockbreeding estate or ranch. Breeders are absolutely passionate about their horses, which are mainly used to herd livestock. Discover the farm life and enjoy riding through vast estates. Grab a pair of old jeans and some cowboy boots and don’t forget your Stetson! With a bit of luck, you might even get to join in a day’s cattle herding. An experience to remember!
