Overview

Ride a 250cc sports quad bike through real off-road terrain, just 5 minutes from central Queenstown. After a safety briefing and training session on purpose-built tracks, you follow an expert guide into the 650-acre Adventure Park - climbing steep trails, weaving through forest sections, and reaching panoramic viewpoints above the Shotover River canyon with views across Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountain ranges.

No licence needed, and no prior experience required. Your guide sets the pace to match the group — no experience needed, and the terrain has plenty to offer for anyone who's been on a quad before. Small group sizes mean real attention throughout.

All gear is provided: helmet, goggles, gloves, and wet-weather clothing for any conditions. Return transfers from central Queenstown and complimentary photos are included. Minimum age 14.

What's Included

  • Wet weather gear if required
  • Return transfers from Queenstown town centre
  • Full safety equipment (helmet, goggles, gloves)
  • Food and drinks
  • Personal travel and medical insurance (recommended for international visitors)
