Enjoy an unforgettable riding experience with a unique itinerary between the lagoon and central mountain range, combining your ride with the sea, the mountains or a tribal visit.
La Foa Randonnées is a horse-trekking centre based at Taïchen, at the southern entrance to La Foa, in New Caledonia's Province Sud, and holds the Bienvenue à la ferme farm-tourism label. David Zwanepoel trains his horses himself using a gentle method, which puts beginner riders at ease. Routes lead to the Parc des Grandes Fougères in Farino, or to Lebris islet, reached through a ford whose depth depends on the tide. Options range from half a day to several days, including a crossing of the central mountain range with a night in a tribe (a Kanak village community). Children are welcome from age 8, guiding is in French or English, and the centre also runs horse-behaviour (ethology) courses and team-building days for groups.
Children welcome from the age of 8.
Book at least 24 hours in advance.
For all horse rides you will need a hat, sunscreen, pants and closed-in shoes.
The departure points are organised by your guide.
