Join us for a true slice of New Zealand high-country life on The Muster Experience — an unforgettable small-group adventure on Mt Hay Station, just outside Lake Tekapo.
Climb aboard our brand-new 5-seat all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and journey deep into the heart of this breathtaking high-country station. With space for up to four guests, you’ll travel alongside our skilled shepherd and his team of keen working dogs as they muster sheep across rolling hills and rugged landscapes framed by the Southern Alps.
This is an authentic, hands-on experience — you’ll see the dogs in action, learn about the art of mustering, and hear real stories of station life passed down through generations. It’s a rare opportunity to witness the daily rhythm of a working farm, surrounded by the raw beauty of Tekapo’s vast tussock country.
Perfect for those seeking a genuine connection with New Zealand’s high-country heritage, The Muster Experience combines adventure, culture, and nature in one unforgettable tour.
