5.00This was one of the best experiences we have been whilst in New Zealand and we have done a lot. Price was right for this 2 hour quad but ke session. Our guide, Pete, is a true NZ gentleman who was amazing. He gave a thorough explanation at the start of how to use and manage the quads, kitted us out with helmets and boots for those that wanted them and drove us to the bikes. After a practice session to ensure we were all okay we were off. 2 hours of ups and downs, different terrains and experiences, through streams etc in the most amazing scenery in glorious weather. This was something else. At 65 and 67 yrs old it was an experience not to miss. Thanks Pete for a great afternoon in your office!
Excellent experience

5.00We throughly enjoyed our Quad bike experience with Harrison. We were laughing and joking before we had even managed to get our wellies on. He really made a lot of effort to make it such a good time. I got absolutely covered head to toe in mud thanks to him getting stuck, but this just added to the fun. Our parents took the buggy and we were dubious as to whether they'd enjoy it, but they absolutely loved it. Got really stuck in and we all laughed our heads off the entire time. Thanks so much for an excellent time.
Great Attraction

5.00Had a wonderful time riding our buggy through gorgeous medley springs farm. Our guide was fantastic and took our ability into account and gave us great commentary along the way. So picturesque and lovely to see so many spring lambs. Highly recommend this team.

5.00With next to no experience, the quad-bike ride was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the river crossing after our guide said "Hmm - I may have made a mistake here!". Excellent fun, top safety and training, highly recommended. Thanks Cieran (sorry if I spelled your name wrong mate).
Beginner driver, made easy by tour guide.
