What an epic adventure! Our family had the BEST time quad biking, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the perfect mix of thrilling and fun for everyone, even if you’re a nervous wreck like I was! I was terrified at first. I’d never even touched a motorbike, and those circuits had me questioning my life choices! The safety briefing and practice session were awesome. The team made sure even a total newbie like me felt ready to tackle the tracks. Initially, we thought the rain might ruin the day, but it turned out to be the best surprise! The puddles added extra fun and our three boys were in their element, laughing and shouting the whole way through. Honestly, I think they’d have stayed out there forever if they could. A huge shoutout to our absolute rockstar of a guide, Brooklyn, who made the experience even more incredible. She was not only funny and friendly but also extremely helpful and attentive. Whether it was guiding us through the circuits or rescuing me the two times I got stuck. Brooklyn truly is the best guide ever! If you’re looking for an unforgettable family adventure, this is it. The free photos add a lovely touch to the entire experience. Thanks for an awesome day, Brooklyn and the team!

Super fun and good way to explore the area. Did not go close to the mountains as we’d hoped but was still a fun outdoors experience

Once we were kitted out with our waterproofs, we then had are training on handling the quad bikes. When the instructor and us were happy with everything we were off.. Over rough terrain through the river into the rain forest with lots of twists, bends and huge puddles then back in to the river going into deeper parts and splashing around.. If it sounds like a kid we felt like one well alot younger than we are 🤣.. An amazing experience and photo's too. Thank you team

While the trip was enjoyable, it didn't quite match my expectations of a wilderness adventure. Instead of exploring remote areas, the tour primarily circled around on the beach / flood plain close to Franz Josef Heli pads. The powerful engine braking on the quad made for a somewhat jerky ride, which detracted from the overall experience.
