Absolutely must do, was a great fun time for all. Guide was awesome both for his knowledge and the relaxed, friendly way he treated everyone, we had a couple of never riders and he got them comfortable in no time

Kia ora! We really hope your breath was taken away when you got to our Bayview lookout for your picnic stop! The forest is just as beautiful if you look closely ;)

Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful ride and views were stunning!!! Weather was perfect in November! I will recommend face mask for dust. We had a lovely snacks and coffee break on top! Very friendly and fun staff! Would do it again!!

A one in a lifetime experience

We had never been on quad bikes and Luke, our guide, knew that we might have a hard time uphill. So he switched our bikes to little jeeps which gave us more confidence. Really enjoyed the ride up and down the hill and thru the farmland! Also enjoyed the view of Cable Bay. Really great experience!

A fun adventure activity!
