What To Expect
Short on time? This combo packs two different off-road experiences into one session - drive a quad bike, then ride in a guide-driven buggy. Meet at our central Queenstown shop for check-in, then we'll take you about 5 minutes out of town to the riding site for one hour of riding time. Quad bike (30 minutes - you drive) - Start in a dedicated 35-acre training area with a safety briefing and a quick lesson on the controls. Then ride purpose-built trails and build confidence fast, with your guide coaching and adjusting the session to your comfort level. Buggy ride (30 minutes - guide drives) - Hop into a 1000cc Honda buggy as a passenger while your guide tackles real off-road terrain across the 650-acre Adventure Park, including climbs, corners, and rugged trail sections. Along the way, reach elevated viewpoints above the Shotover River canyon for views over Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, and Coronet Peak, with stops for photos. After the ride, we'll take you back to central Queenstown. Complimentary transfers and all necessary safety gear are included - just arrive ready to ride.

5.00If you’re scrolling and reading this, please just book it. My family and myself did a private tour with Lachie and it was amazing. It was truly an Ultimate experience of a life time being this was our first time in New Zealand. We were taken around the Queenstown mountains and shown some breathtaking scenery. Several spots only locals know about. His depth and knowledge is worth it. Then came the 4x4 Side-by-side experience, and it was definitely the thrill we all were looking for. Great trails, with a guide that tailored our interests making it an absolute great time and an adventure to always remember!
