Hi Diana :) Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! We are glad to hear you had a great experience on both our Quad Biking and Jet Boating Tours! We hope to see you back again soon for another fun filled adventure, Cheers, The Hanmer Springs Attractions Team
Starting off with Quad biking, we had just two of us with a guide - very private and fun! The guide was top notch and took us on a great route through the land and over various textures, through water and over rocky paths. 2 hours of adventure backdropped by clear skies and expansive mountain ranges. We then did the jetboat, which was a blast rushing along the water and pulling 360s with a very skilled driver. This combo is a must do when visiting Hanmer, especially on a clear day!
Hi Nik :) Thank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! We are glad to hear that you both had an amazing experience on our Quad Biking and Jet Boating Tours, from the scenery to the rush of our 360 boat spins! We hope to see you both back again soon for another adventure! Cheers, The Hanmer Springs Attractions Team
Quads have some great river crossings which are always a blast. The Jet boat was fantastic !!! Just make sure you grab a spray jacket if you’re with Daniel he’s a fantastic driver and good local knowledge.
Hi Angelea, Thank you for the lovely review of both our quad biking and jet boating experiences, we're happy to know you had such a wonderful time doing both of them. We also recommend grabbing a spray jacket, especially for anyone riding with Daniel! We hope to see you back again for some more adventures. Cheers, The Hanmer Springs Attractions Team
Hi Andrew, Thank you for the stunning review for our double dare combo, we're happy to hear you had so much fun jet boating and quad biking with our team. We hope to see you back again for some more adventures! Cheers, the Hanmer Springs Attractions Team
I thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride, staff was very friendly and added to the experience. The quad was just as fun was just unfortunate for the weather. I’d recommend going when it’s snowing, staff was equally as great on this trip. Overall great fun.
Hi Josh, Thanks again for your visit and for this great review! We enjoyed having you on the Jet Boat and the Quad! Enjoy the rest of your trip in NZ! :) Cheers from Hanmer Springs Attractions
