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 fun adrenaline filled morning my sisters and I had! Peter our guide was great, he certainly made us all feel confident in the damp and slightly slippery conditions. All the wet weather gear was provided, so no muddy clothes to take home with us. What a bonus! We will certainly recommend this adventure to anyone we know heading to Hanmer Springs.

This is one of the best quad biking experience we had with great mountain track with muddle pools and crossing creeks and reaching to the top of mountain with spectacular views.
This quad biking is not for the faint hearted and thanks to Pete to provide a great tour and taking pics along the route and providing that to their customers at no extra cost.
Remember this is hanmer adventure quad bike and a MUST TRY activity.

With a few hours to spare I turned up here unannounced and within minutes was off on a 2 hour bike ride with a map, great advice and directions to the best downhill trails in the forest to suit my ability.
The bikes were new and in great condition, and I had a great time riding the intermediate single tracks around Conical Hill.
If you’re not into climbing mountains and navigating narrow trails and jumps, the gentler forest trails are simply gorgeous, mostly flat and wide, and well worth exploring for an hour or two.
For $49 for 2 hours this was a fantastic experience.

Family of four rafting.. in July... chilly... But it was fantastic fun and it wasnt as cold as I imagined. Well equipped with wet suits, thermal layers, boots, PFDs, helmet etc.. . Great family friendly grade two rafting experience with our guide Jess who was awesome. My daughters, who were a little apprehensive at first, felt really at ease within the first few minutes, we cant speak highly enough of our guide. To top it off, the jet boat trip back was thrilling. To see the smiles on the kids faces.. priceless :-)
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.

We went as a family group of adults, young adults and two 9 year olds. Our group had a blast! It was so much fun. Pete and Mat were awesome, teaching us how to use the Quad bikes, giving us tips on certain parts of the track and also general knowledge and history of the area. The 2 younger kids went in the buggy and had heaps of fun. Highly recommend and would love to do it again.

North Island kiwis taking advantage of our country post Covid. Booked a 2.5 hr quad bike tour on our last day of touring the South. Ended up being just the two of us novice bikers with our excellent tour guide Peter. Have to admit a little apprehensive at first, but Peter settled the nerves, took his time to go through the process and gave us a few laps to get used to the bikes. We ventured up the hills, through mud, creeks, paddocks and plenty of rugged tracks stopping along the way for a few pics in this picturesque landscape. Peter gave us a bit of an insight to the flora, fauna and geological history of the area along the way. Was fabulous, couldn’t stop smiling, probably the highlight of our tour round South. Would recommend. Thanks guys for a great finish to our holiday.

Had a blast on the quad bike adventure!!! Totally outside of my comfort zone but I absolutely loved it. Our guide Matt was awesome. Great sense of humour, knowledgeable about the area, patient, & our health & safety was his top priority. When we got to the end of the course I didn’t want to get off. Will definitely do this again one day. Cheers ✌🏻

Took my 13yo grandson who is unvaccinated on a Rocket ride....what fun it was. No problem with the fact he was unvaccinated which was great as we were very limited with activities. We had great fun and exercise biking round the town....thoroughly recommend
