5.00What a glorious ride. The guide was friendly and well informed and the ride was just the best way to see Mt Wellington and all the different types of forest on the way down. Highly recommended. Not too hard, not too easy.

5.00It was great and had a really fun time. Didn't think we would be able to do it when we were going up to the peak, as it seemed , like a long way down and steep. Never done, anything like this before. Our tour guide Richard was great also.
Best ride ever
