Quad Biking

This New Zealand activity is a great way to see NZ and be at one with the land. You may just get a coating of New Zealand mud.

Like 4WD Safaris, motorbike tours are a great way to view spectacular backcountry scenery while having fun in the process.

'Quad Bikes' as four-wheel farm bikes are known here, are the most common form of transport on New Zealand sheep and cattle stations. They are amazingly versatile and manoeuvrable, and equally suited to agricultural pursuits and recreational use for fun rides, hunting, fishing or wilderness exploring.

Guided off-road adventure tours are located all over New Zealand. Look for quad bike tours in Auckland, Kaitaia, Ahipara, Rotorua, Taupo, Marton, Featherston, Wellington, Nelson, Queenstown, Hanmer Springs and growing in other centres every day.

Take the opportunity to sample this form of awesome adventure travel. It's physically challenging and good clean fun (if you miss the mud holes). Expect to see a variety of landscapes, farm, forestry, native bush, sand dunes or beaches. All gear is provided by the operators.

New Zealand off-road rides are usually led by a qualified guide and range from 2 to 4 hours with the option of multi-day expeditions for dedicated quad bike NZ adventurers. Full handling instructions are given and previous experience is not required.
