Amazing fun!

Such an amazing two hours of fun surrounded by the beautiful scenery. Our guide Brooklyn was great and made us feel safe as people who have never ridden quad bikes before.

Wow what a rush. It...

Wow what a rush. It rained the whole time but they had us kitted out in rain gear so it did not matter. Brooke was a great guide. We crossed rivers and flooded rain forests. Lots of fun.

Operator response

Great way to experience the area of Franz Josef

We did a tandem quad bike tour with Brooklyn on a glorious day. We were part of a group of 3 vehicles which was great because I'm sure we covered more ground than a bigger group would have done. We splashed through mud puddles in the rainforest and through running rivers on the river bed fed by the glacier. Brooklyn took some terrific photos which are sent through to you electronically for free, the next day. The tour takes over 2.5 hours and is well worth the cost. Full gear is provided so you don't get wet clothes and have a comfortable trip. They are very good at assessing your capabilities on the quad bike before you start the tour and are pretty strict with behaviours and treatment of the bike which is a good thing. It was more challenging than I expected but Brooklyn's instructions and direction was excellent and we never felt out of our depth. Highly recommend as an activity to remember.

Operator response

Thank you for your 5 star review!! We're stoked that Brooke was able to show you a great time out on the tracks, and take some awesome photos to remember the experience by. We're also happy you enjoyed the small group size- that's the great thing about coming out with us in the quiet season! Thanks for your recommendation! Safe travels, Max

Such a buzz

To start with i thought the safety talks sounded like the fun police, but actually I was wrong as once we got going it was exhilarating and I loved every moment. Leo was great. Excellent quads, rainforest was awesome as was the River. Given all the waterproof gear .. we needed it! Thanks 10/10

A couple of hours well spent even though it was a miserable day . Our guide ( Leo ??) was fantastic. I was on the back of my husband and still really enjoyed it.

Hi Sharon, Yes it was Leo that look after you the other day. Thank you for the great review, glad you enjoyed yourself out there. The passenger seat is always the best seat I like to say. Safe travels, Dee

Quad bike quality

What a day! The whole experience was amazing. Beautiful scenery. Amazing staff. Brooklyn was fantastic. Personable, professional and most importantly fun. This felt wild and exciting but super safe at the sane time. I highly recommend this for experiencing the most beautiful Franz Josef. Thanks again Brooklyn for an amazing morning.

Operator response

Thank you for the lovely review. Brooke is one of our most senior guides and is great at what she does! Fantastic to hear you had a good time with her out on the trails exploring Franz Josef. Thanks for joining us, Dee
