SADDLE UP ENJOY THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE


As destinations continue to relax their COVID restrictions, we are rediscovering our freedom, travelling more and booking those once-in-a lifetime, bucket list experiences.


While these experiences once again become the norm, our will to see the world is tempered with an awareness of travel's negative impact. The pandemic was an awakening. Offering handpicked riding holidays, specialist tour operator Ranch Rider has rounded up five dream horseback adventures that align with our new-found consciousness. Luxury might be synonymous with once-in-a-lifetime journeys, but it is no longer the only ingredient, as our desire to protect the environment has never been more heightened.


BRITISH COLUMBIA'S SIWASH LAKE


LUXURY GUEST RANCH Combining the two, British Columbia's Siwash Lake Luxury Guest Ranch sits on 80,000-acres of pristine wilderness, the property featuring boutique lodge rooms and luxurious safari-inspired glamping tents. Horse-riding, fly-fishing and lake swimming are just some of the refreshing pursuits on offer, and the guided eco-adventures will leave you in no doubt as to nature's regenerative powers. Billed as an ‘Indiana Jones’ type experience, the Waterfall Ecology Hike, is part reflection – the journey detailing the devastation of the 2017 wildfires – and part inspiration – the adventure prompting you to heal the planet after giving you the rare opportunity to see climate change up close.


There's also the option to tune into your own natural rhythm at the Star Camp (set in its own private dark sky reserve), the site located deep in the Cariboo wilds.


Seven nights with Ranch Rider from £10,173pp (two sharing) including accommodation, meals, most ranch activities, taxes and gratuities. Excludes car hire and return flights. Departing June to September.
