Super rando en haut des montagnes!

Rando au milieu des montagnes, avec vue sur la vallée de wanaka très sympa. Nous l'avons fait au levé du soleil à 7h, ça valait le coup de se lever tôt ! Passage au milieu des fermes et des taureaux :D Attention le nombre de places proposées sur bookme n'est pas toujours à jour. Pour nous la balade a duré moins de 2h, au lieu de 2h30 annoncées. Mais super promo sur bookme, on ne peut pas tout avoir ! Nous recommandons vivement the cardrona quad experience!!!!!!

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 😍

Cardrona quad bike tour

10 out of 10 for the whole experience. It was an amazing experience made only more memorable by the two guides on the day. The equipment was great, the views spectacular. Worth every cent if the cost. Highly recommend this to other travellers.
