β€œI LOVE motorbikes. This scenic quad bike ride was one of the best family activities I have ever paid for. Every cent was well worth it. The views of Cable Bay and Delaware Bay were a bonus for us as Ngāti Tama whānau. The beautiful bush smell, the wonderful native trees, the pit stops with information given and the safety guided with an awesome crew member (sorry I forgot the name 😬, but a very awesome guy that's been there for many many years and traveled the area nearly a million times) made this trip to the south island truly amazing. Thank you so much!!! To every single crew member keeping this place going and cared for, I really appreciated seeing the love put into the whenua. We shall be back with more whānau next time πŸ˜‰πŸ˜β€

β€œAwesome experience! It was just the two of us and our very knowledgeable and fun guide Fletcher. We took the quad bikes up to the start of the skywire - it was exhilarating to shoot above the bush at the speed of 91kph!!!!!! Further we went on the quad bikes up to the top of the hill. The view unfortunately was not there due to lots of sea fog and clouds. Luckily Fletcher shared his biscuit and cheese and crackers with us so that made up for it!!! Cool ride back down to do some more river crossings right at the end. We loved every second of it! The whole experience took about three hours and time just flew by! Thanks, Fletch.”

Lost track of time but could easily spend a few hours out here on a nice day. Staff are friendly and informative. Would Recommended to take water and sunscreen. Will go again.”
