Queenstown: Kids Quad Bike Family Adventure (45 min)
Description
New Zealand's only kids' quad biking experience - and the whole family gets their own machine. Kids aged 6-13 ride 50cc or 90cc quad bikes on purpose-built tracks just five minutes from central Queenstown, while parents, guardians, and older teens (14+) ride alongside on a 250cc quad. No licence or off-road experience needed for any rider. The 45-minute session runs on a large purpose-built riding ground with varied terrain. Your guide stays with the group throughout, adjusting the pace and terrain to suit the youngest riders - so every child gets the right balance of challenge and fun. It is all guided quad biking from start to finish. All safety equipment is included - helmets, goggles, and gloves - along with full wet weather gear if conditions call for it. Return transfers from central Queenstown, a professional guide, and complimentary photos are all part of the package. Sessions run year-round, rain or shine.

It was a fantastic experience for both our boys and us. We learned how to safely and confidently ride quad bikes over challenging terrain, and the instruction was excellent. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating throughout the experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and professional adventure.
My family loved this experience. My son is 7 years old and loved the fact that he could go in a quad bike on his own, so a sense of independence. He loved getting mucky in a really controlled environment. It was a great family experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re really pleased to hear your family enjoyed the experience and that your son loved riding his own quad bike. It’s great to see young riders gaining confidence and having fun in a safe, controlled environment. Getting a bit mucky is definitely part of the adventure. We always want to improve, so if there was anything we could have done to make this a 5-star experience, we’d really appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to email us at info@offroad.co.nz. Thanks again for coming out with us!
Our guide was awesome... Was an excellent experience kids and my brother and I totally loved it... Was loads of fun
Just came back from an absolutely amazingly good time with Matt at Off Road. Mum, 49 (totally out of shape!) Dad, 54 (pretty fit) and two teenage daughters beaming from ear to ear! We started with the intro where Matt put us through our paces and taught us what we needed to know and then we extended to the hour long up the mountain experience! Matt was a great teacher and very funny. It was stress free learning for me being a complete novice and just so much fun. It may seem pricey to start with but you are riding top notch bikes with a very professional and experienced guide/teacher and was worth every cent. We were a family ranging from complete novices to experienced riders and we all had a blast riding together! Can’t recommend this experience enough! Give it a go NZ!!

Thank you for sharing your positive experience and recommending the activity to others!

Loved it here it was very fun and the tour guides where very nice and it is very good for beginners as well.
I came last year to do the buggy with my Dad and this year was for the quad bikes with my friend! The adventure starts in the van with good chats! Matt was awesome to make us relax before THE adventure! Ryan and Brendon were perfect during the training time and we could see they knew exactly what they were doing! The rest of the tour was excellent fun and above all expectations! Thanks, Matt, Brendon, Ryan and Scott for this experience and lifetime memories! We will come back!
Awesome experience! Matt was an awesome instructor. Highly recommend doing the 1.5hr ride. Quality chat in the van too :)
