Let us take you on an amazing, guided off-roading adventure! Ride through a beautiful rainforest, splash through rivers, explore an ancient glacier riverbed while being blown away by the breath-taking scenery including the spectacular Southern Alps and Franz Josef Glacier.
Your guide will kit you out with wet weather gear and gumboots and teach you how to ride our off-roading vehicles.
Either take a single quad bike all to yourself - or take a double quad bike and bring a passenger along for the ride! Choose our three-seater buggies that can fit two adults and one child, or just 2 passengers as a double quad.
Booking a Double Quad Bike or Double or Triple Buggy:
When booking a double quad bike, 1 bike is booked for 2 people. (Ie: If you book 2 bikes, that will be for 4 people).
Triple buggy = 3 people
Booking the 5-seater Buggy?
Reminder that this vehicle is a powerful ride - driven by our expert tour guides only! Booking this vehicle includes 1x guide as your driver, and then 5 additional passenger seats.
