We had a great time as a family, in a small group in magnificent landscapes with a varied track (forest, plain, river, mud, gravel, stones😅...) One of our best travel experiences! Thanks to our guide Pété, very pleasant and attentive. Highly recommended without any reservation!
My guide, Pete, was knowledgeable about the area we travelled through. I was lucky enough to be the only one on this particular ride, so got a very individual service. I was grateful that they did not cancel because I was the only one there. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. A fantastic way to get closer to the wonderful scenery of the area.
We booked a 2hr High Country Quad bike experience and we were not disappointed. Our guide, Pete, was very thorough with instructions and super informative about the Station we were riding on. Stunning scenery and an appropriatly introduced challenging terrain to increase your confidence. We loved it, Thank You Pete !!
Great experience, amazing scenery and the guide was knowledgeable and attentive.
Was simply terrific the quads were epic
This 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!
Good fun and well organised Andrew's instructions were very clear and we went on a varied and interesting route Andrew and Ty were very friendly and helpful and fun
We 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.
Absolutely brilliant experience, we really enjoyed it. Fantastic views and the instructor was very experienced, really friendly and very professional with the whole experience. This is a great fun experience to do and we would really recommend it.
Had 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.
