Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a fabulous half day we had with Scott! The first part of our journey was in the Toyota truck travelling along the canyon, along the 6th most dangerous road in the world! It was epic! From seeing the bridge that was once the highest bungee jump off to where gold was found and comes from, to the history of the area and marvel of human enterprise. We then came back for the guided quad tour, a very technical and exhilarating ride. Scott was a wealth of information and knowledge. It’s clear he loves the region and wants us to walk away with more insights and awareness of this beautiful area. If you do the quads wear clothes that can get dirty as you will probably get some mud on you- all part of the fun.

Absolute fantastic experience, especially after overnight rain making track slippery and water pools. Safety a priority with experienced guides. Matt was a wealth of knowledge re the area terrain and history. Special thanks to Matt & Lloyd. A great way to end our time in Queenstown NZ. A must do when visiting Queenstown.

Our family of 8 adults went on the Ultimate Adventure afternoon with Matt & Sam.
A brilliant and informative 4WD trip into Skippers Canyon followed by some fun in their buggies afterwards.
Smiles on everyone’s faces and a great Adrenalin filled afternoon for everyone !

Exceeded our expectations. Diego our guide was a patient instructor and showed us exactly what we needed to be able to handle the track. He saw I was not too comfortable and told me to hop on the back of his bike. My husband and son could then really enjoy their ride without me slowing them up. We all loved it. Thanks Diego , the scenery the track the goats and the bikes so much fun. We would do it again.

Quad biking with my 14yr old son. The instructor Diego was fantastic. He took us on the training track and clearly explained the technics to safely ride on difficult terrain. Although we had both ridden quads before with his instruction it gave us much more confidence to fully ride the most difficult terrain once on the mountain. A fantastic experience, expert instruction, good company and great scenery. Highly recommended.

We were to do this activity as a family but I wasn’t very confident on the quad bikes so Diego took us for the most amazing ride in a off road buggy. It was insanely good. Diego was so kind and fun. Thanks so much.

One of the best things we did in NZ! Forget the jetboating this was way better. People that work here made it even more interesting with all the local info. The only issue with the ATV we couldn’t do more of it. Def go again

We were so lucky to do the buggy tour just after it had snowed. Scott was fabulous and even though I was a bit hesitant to drive, he encouraged me to try it and I’m so glad I did! It was an amazing experience and so much fun! Would highly recommended taking this tour. The views were spectacular too!

An awe inspiring time my son and I had. They gave us challenges to push ourselves if that was what we want. I had never done it before and they gave enough guidance for me not to feel out of my depth. The gave us choices and offered an experience full of banter. They provided a venue with scenery to die for!! Couldn't rate highly enough and got back home and raved about it to all the people I knew. Would do it again in an instant. The gear was quality and I felt safe which made it even more enjoyable. Don't hesitate, do it today. You'll never regret it! One of the best things wasI took my adult son who loves challenges and thrills and he enjoyed it as much as I did. Few activities offer this!

Looking to book an afternoon tour for beginning of February, but website says it's unavailable. Is this because too early to book or is it full?
Skip the website and call them directly I reckon. They fit us in last minute and the amount of guides and bikes they have shouldn't be an issue. 2 tours a day too....

I will be in Queenstown at the end of March, trying to decide whether to go in the morning or afternoon? Advantage/disadvantage to either one? Please advise as I am planning my days. Thanks!

Yeah I would say time doesn't really matter! Weather would be the main aspect to consider. We went in the afternoon the day after it had rained and that was considered perfect by the guys running it. If it is too dry, the bikes kick up alot of dust and that takes away from the ride. Puddles are a great addition to the track so don't be scared off by rain!

Hi Kelvyn,
Thanks for getting in touch, the minimum age to ride their own little kids quad bike is 6 years old so unfortunately there is nothing we can offer that could accommodate having a 3 year old onsite. Cheers, Gary
