Before the car, there was the horse. You didn't need a licence, the road rules were pretty low-key and the fuel was a lot cheaper.

Anyway, now is your chance to grab a saddle and adventure through farmland to Lake Okareka shore, horseback style.

Grab a two-hour Lake Tarawera horse trek for one person for only $49 with Horse Trekking Lake Okareka.

Go on a unique kiwi adventure with Horse Trekking Lake Okareka. Meander through 1500 acres of pasture and 500 acres of native farmland and bush.

The ingredients for a catchy, chart-topping song aren't that dissimilar to the ingredients needed for a gastronomically delightful treat. There's the opening, toe-tapping bars that draw you in - like a spectacular view. There's the build up to the chorus - the main event, like a fabulously fresh seafood platter. There's the lovely verses either side, like a well-deserved drink. Then there's the fact you love it so much, you listen to it on repeat - like returning to a favourite spot time and time again.
