A must do for anyone in Queenstown or Wanaka areas!! - We booked for a 2 hour quad bike tour around the mountains, and we have to say of all the quad bike trips we have done over the years, this was our favourite! Rhona welcomed us and ran through everything such as safety, controls, and what sort of things we would be doing on the route. As we were only ones on the tour at that time, it was great and Rhona made sure to ask us both questions. Throughout the trip, Rhona would also check on us and explain any difficult sections of the route. The route was amazing, and learning the history of the area was great, you could see Rhona was passionate about the area and loved her job. Was also nice to have a tour guide from the UK with us as we could ask questions of comparisons of home to New Zealand and understand the area better. On top of this, Rhona took some amazing photos while we were out, so i recommend bringing cash to buy them afterwards. The only downside of the trip was it was over so quickly! The 2 hours flew by since we were having so much fun, but we would definitely recommend this trip to anyone, and if we visit again, this will be top of our list to do once more!

Fabulous ride on the quads!! - Amazing great time on the quads with Kelly. She was an excellent guide and made the experience so fun and informative. Would have done a second time if we had had the time. Loved it!

Great fun whatever your age - Kat was so patient with us and adapted the usual ride to ensure that both the absolute beginner and the more experienced biker had a fantastic time. You helped create more great memories of our holiday - thank you!!

Definitely Recommend! - We had an amazing Quad Bike tour! The staff were very friendly, the views were amazing, and the quad bike trail was really fun! This was our first time riding quad bikes and we were a little nervous, but the guide, Hanna, drove at a pace we were comfortable with and stopped along the way to teach us history about the area. Would highly recommend!

Great staff! So helpful and accommodating! - I couldn’t possibly say enough lovely things about The Cardrona Quad Bike experience! The staff & guides were incredibly helpful and kind! They called us the morning of our booking to ask about how we would be arriving and let us know about some road closures that impacted our route from Queenstown. They were patient with our group as we arrived quite a bit late (due to said road closures). Our guide was so positive and kind throughout the entire experience, took photos for us at some of the view points, and ensured we all had a blast!

Once in a lifetime experience - Once in a lifetime adventure! Views were maxing against the snow cap mountains, tussock grass and little lambs! It was pure 2 hours of riding on different terrains, ground, grass, puddle of water, and the road which allows u to drive at full speed! The guide took photos and videos of us. Though it was required at a fee, we felt it was well deserved for the amazing views that she was able to take of us. Highly recommend!

Super fun quad trails, great guides and rare snow! - Went on the quad bike tour.
It was a rare weather day for heavy snow in the area, we lucked out on such a unique experience – I hope some future customers luck out in the same way.
Guides were helpful and willing to have fun! They were great photographers too!
This was the first time I ever touched snow and what a magnificent way to do so near the peaks at Cardrona Valley!

DO NOT recommend - Sadly we were miss informed when asked if there will be driving in snow.
Right before we came we asked if there is snow and they told us yes.
That was most of the experience that we were looking forward to.
Very disappointing, honestly a waste of money, don’t appreciate insincerity.
On top of all that, pictures were taken of us through out the trip on the guides iPhone without asking only to be asked to pay extra at the end to receive them.
The guide wasn’t driving a quad bike which made it difficult to follow her track.
DO NOT recommend.
