Itching to get in touch with the beauty of nature by exploring upstate New York the way its first settlers did -- on the back of a horse and with a bottle of wine (probably)? Join Discover Outdoors to ride and dine with wine. Begin your day with a horse riding tutorial and a meet-and-greet with the well-mannered horses. From there, climb atop and enjoy a ride through the countryside. For two hours, you will ride through fields, woods, and some rocky terrain. Once you're tired of riding, you'll be taken to a nearby vineyard, where you will get to indulge in sampling red and white wines, and some of the most exquisite hard ciders in America. Top off your day with a stroll through the orchard. There's a good chance you won't want to return to the city.
Note: You must be at least 18 years old to participate. Transportation will be provided. All participants must weigh less than 250 lbs.

Waterfall Canyoneering June 26, 2017I did the hike and hound with my dog George, a 10lb Yorkie. Emily Eastlake was a great guide, she was knowledgeable, laid back and made the day really fun. I was a bit concerned about having a bunch of strange dogs in a van, but the van was a good size for all the people and pets and the ride up was very chilled. We covered almost 6 miles. The track was really fun to walk on with dogs, plenty of rocks to climb over and streams to cool off in.Needless to say, we had a van full of very quiet dogs and people on the way back. Everyone had a wonderful experience. Can't wait for the next one.

Waterfall Canyoneering June 26, 2017Great way for NYers with or without dogs to get out of the city for a weekend day. Good way to meet some new people and get a break from the big apple

Waterfall Canyoneering June 26, 2017I've been on about 5 different hikes with Discover Outdoors. Each time the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and really thoughtful, taking us to the best spots and making sure everyone had a good time. It's great to meet the other hikers, many of whom are also solo hikers looking for group activity, and connect with this fun community of avid hikers. I also love feeling so safe on the trail--I end up going places I never would have gone by myself. Go on one of their beginner hikes if you are not accustomed to much hiking.

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side April 20, 2017I really loved the horseback riding. It was so beautiful riding along the trails of the mountain within nature. The horses were so kind. After riding, we went to the brotherly vineyard, which we got to tour the property and learn the history before sampling each of their best selling and new wine collections. We also got wine glasses as souvenirs. The only negative comment would be driving of our guide to and from our destination. It was very bumpy and our guide would hit the brakes really hard.

Waterfall Canyoneering February 21, 2017This was an experience of a lifetime. We left NYC on Saturday for a long drive up to NH. Got to know the group in preparation for a challenging and rewarding expedition the next day. Joe Dodge Lodge is a wonderful place at the base of Mt. Washington. DO Guides are fun and knowledgeable. This was one of the best few days of my life and I am proud to have reached the summit in winter conditions. This is not to be taken lightly. The terrain and weather are a unique alpine challenge in the north east US. You will feel a sense of pride and have found new friends.

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side December 14, 2016Discover Outdoors absolutely rocks. Incredible guides, incredible trails, super cool attendees - it's a no-brainer if you're looking to get out into nature.

Waterfall Canyoneering November 30, 2016This is a first-rate operations- people, planning and equipment. We met in Manhattan and a well-maintained vehicle took us upstate (New Paltz area) for a day of rappelling. No prior experience is needed, their guide/instructors are very experienced and ready! You do need a bit of stamina to be romping up and down the mountains.

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side June 13, 2016Our group had so much fun getting to know each other during the van ride which made the horseback riding extra fun. The horses were great and the trail was gorgeous. The wine tasting part of the day was also a big hit. The wines and the ciders tastings combined with the lovely weather and good music made for a perfect day.

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side October 19, 2015I just experienced the Horseback riding and Wine tasting trip led by Leann this past Saturday!! It was probably the most organized trip I have taken without feeling babysat and controlling. We went riding at the Echo Lakes Stables, which was only about an hour or so away from the city.
We rode beautiful and behaved horsed for about an hour and a half. After we were quickly off to the Warwick Winery. Highly recommend packing a lunch/snacks/water, lines at the winery on a full day are slightly insane & eating in the car gives you more time to drink! ;) The winery was affordable with decent wines and a very funny tasting that will surely have you leaving satisfied.
Highly recommend having cash for the entire trip, winery used up all my cash (minimum $15 dollars for credit card) which left me with empty pockets at the end of the trip.
Trip leader was super down to earth, young, responsible and quite smart.
I couldn't imagine going as a single because people really do stick to their groups.
(About 15 people per van)
Overall amazing price for the pick up and drop off from location to location/ horse riding and wine tasting. I would totally do this again & highly interested in the Kayaking trip for next year! -

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side October 6, 2015Had a first trip wtih this company recently. I never heard of them until a friend invited me to go on one of their escortions. We did the horseback riding and wine tasting.
Registration was easy. Pick up location was central for me.
The guide Marcus, was very friendly and accomodating. Gave good instructions on what to expect from the day.
It was a good day trip to get out of the city. Lucky for us the weather was decent compared to days prior when it was raining.
The horseback portion was really fun. It was my intro session to trail horseback riding. The staff at the ranch were pleasant and the trail ride I think was worth it. My horse, Hank, was well behaved.
The wine tasting destination was not too far away. The wines themselves were not to my liking but the actual grounds was nice to seat, eat and just relax.
They have other trips within the area and other international trips. Def worth checking out. -

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side September 21, 2015I have taken two trips with Discover Outdoors, the horseback riding & wine tasting and most recently the kayaking trip to Bannerman Island on the Hudson. Both trips were excellent. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, organized. They get you where you need to go on time, efficiently. The companies that work with Discover Outdoors (i.e. the kayaking shop or the horse stable) are always great. Highly recommend if you're looking for the convenience of an NYC pick up and drop off and high quality outdoor adventuring.

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side August 31, 2015Getting outside of the city for a break can be a necessity sometime. Enter the wonderful crew at Discover Outdoors who will make getting your nature & functional fitness on a breeze. They offer a wide range of outdoor activities including sea kayaking, surf lessons, ice climbing, hikes and even visiting wolf sanctuaries. Each activity ranges in varying intensity level, from easy going stuff to more challenging hikes (like the Devil's Path, the highest intensity hike in all of the northeast).
All you have to do is go to the website, click on the calendar, select an activity and purchase it to reserve your spot. Literally, DO will arrange the transportation to and from, arrange the guide and even sends you an email with what to pack and where to go. All of the guides are like walking REI ads - organized, fit, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help. I have gone on hikes with Zach, Lauren and Paul - all great. I recommend Surprise Lake (in the summer you can swim in it, great views) and Raccoon Brook (super challenging, very fun).
Bonus points, sign up for an account (it is free) so that you get points for every trip you book, which translates into discounts etc. -

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side July 5, 2015So far I have been on one trip and it was great. Great idea for New Yorkers to get away for a break from the concrete jungle. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely go on more of these. A must go!

Waterfall Canyoneering September 16, 2014The hike we went on was called "Hike and Howl," and it was fantastic! We started hiking in the Kittatinny mountains of New Jersey, and ended up hiking through Pennsylvania as well. At one point, we could see the Poconos from where we stood. It was quite the beautiful trek. We even crossed over a bit of the Appalachian Trail.
The tour guide for Hike and Howl, Zach, was really knowledgable and the perfect guide for a hike like this. He showed us edible plants along the way, pointed out different rivers and their names, pointed out all sorts of scenic views, and even taught us how to build a compass using only a stick. You could tell how much he loved nature- he picked up empty bottles left on the trail by others in order to recycle them and at one point even moved a small caterpillar off the path because it would've been stepped on otherwise. It was an extremely compassionate trip!
After 5 hours of hiking we piled back into the van that brought us to NJ, and drove a few miles to the Wolf Preserve, which was a cool change of pace after the hike. The whole preserve is run by a couple, Jim and Becky Mace, who are extremely passionate about animals and very inspiring. They're great speakers, LOVE their animals, and will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and much more) about wolves, bobcats, and foxes. You really feel like they'll go to the ends of the earth for those wolves.
Highly recommended for those looking for an experience with animals and nature like never before! You can read a bit more about the experience we had at http://yousomewhereelse.com/?p=45 -

Horseback Riding and Wine Tasting - Upper West Side August 25, 2014I went on the horseback riding/wine tasting trip with Discover Outdoors for the first time. I must say that I will be taking more trips with them in the future. It is so convenient for city dwellers like myself to have transportation provided via the Discover Outdoors van with pickup and drop off right in the city. The guides are very informative and make the trips go smoothly.
