Fantastic quad bike experience for the family of two older adults and 2 younger adults. Daniel was an outstanding guide, who not only ran through the tutorial very efficiently and clearly, he used that evaluation to determine that we could safely explore the more advanced tracks and at some speed over a wide variety of terrains and with breaktaking views. It was easily the best quad adventure out of the 7 or so we have done around the world. Highly recommend !

Outstanding adventure had with our guides Benjamin and Petr. As 60 year old kiwis we came away with huge smiles and so happy we booked the quad safari, Deb and I rode in the skilled group and had a ball being tested in the mud , creeks and hills. The top of the hill was spectacular for the views , nice addition was a hot chocolate then all the way down to the shotover river for more intrepid adventures. Yes its not cheap but its amazing value. Highly recommend 👌

This one is a cant miss, catered to your level, stunning views and wonderful guides. You couldn’t wipe the smile, or mud from our faces. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return to do this one again. Highlight of our trip, the quads are fantastic but the guides are what really make it a great experience. Thanks for the great day Dan & Peter!

Such a great experience with the most incredible guides, Phoebe and Tom C. Being my first quad bike ride, I was very nervous, but Phoebe and Tom were patient, provided plenty of practice before going on our tour, and they were just well-organised and knowledgeable. Truly loved this whole experience, the ride, the thrills and the views. 100% recommend!!

We had an absolutely brilliant time on the ATV tour in Queenstown! The ATV bikes and gear provided were sturdy and clean. Our tour guides Tom and Phoebe were amazing - friendly, professional and thorough with safety instructions. The views were indescribable, and riding through it made it even more special. We felt safe, supported and happy all throughout the tour. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Tom and Phoebe!
