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!!!!!!

Good experience but need more time to take photos

Had a great experience, absolutely enjoyed riding the quad bikes. The scenery was beautiful. Only thing that I didn’t quite like was the fact we didn’t get time to take our own photos! We were only able to take a few because we felt rush at the stops we took and the only photos that mattered seemed to be the ones the tour guide took. Overall enjoyed it! But with the amount we paid would be great to take our own photos.

Highlight of my trip

Hands down the highlight of my recent trip to Queenstown. Booked via BookMe which was super easy and straightforward. The trip is approximately 40 minutes (weather depending) from Queenstown. Arrived at the quad biking approximately 15 minutes before our 10am departure time. Our group consisted of 6 people, 3 men and 3 women, ranging in quad experience from never have sat on one to very confident. The guide Andy was amazing and certainly added to our fabulous experience. Remember to dress warm and the temperature certainly drops the higher you go. Unfortunately we didn’t have any snow but none the less was fabulous and the view spectacular. Spent the first 5 minutes doing a quick and informative safety briefing before we set off up the hill - what an awesome 2 hours it was. Cannot recommend this enough and is a must do when in Queenstown. Will 100% be doing on my next adventure here - the difference in weather (snow etc) would make every experience unique. .

Best experience off the beaten track!

So worth doing something different and exploring the incredible terrain in changing conditions - also incredibly fun being on the quad bike, even for first timers like us!
