A slow, scenic carriage ride
Ride the old-fashioned way, behind a calm horse at an easy pace. A quiet moment in a busy day.
The Amish way to travel
For many Amish families, the horse and carriage is everyday transportation. We share that slow, quiet way of travel with guests who want to enjoy the scenery and each other.
What to expect
- A calm horse and an experienced driver.
- A clear briefing about boarding and staying seated.
- An easy pace, so conversation is easy.
- Time for photos before or after.
