Awesome experience

Fabulous fun half day adventure. Riding quad bikes along a rough track right to the top of the mountain. The whole thing was well run and expertly led.

Must do Cardrona

Highly recommend. The views from the top of the farm let you see all the way to Wanaka and over to the ski fields. The guides were great. Will definitely be back again.

1000/10 experience 🥰

My husband and I LOVED this quad bike experience. We went at the start of August and were able to see so much snow on the mountains both far and close! It was absolutely gorgeous and would 1000% recommend to everyone. It was also a good speed, my husband was worried it would be very slow and boring but it was good paced and the off road track had some challenging areas which made it so much fun. Our tour guide was so great and made sure we were nice and prepared for the trip up the mountain. Absolutely loved 😍
