We had an unsuccessful whale-watching trip, so rather than trying again the next day we decided to do a quadbiking tour instead. Guaranteed results, and no sea-sickness to worry about! Me and the missus happened to be the only patrons that morning, so we had our own personal tour of the massive and picturesque farm. Lots of wonderful scenery, interesting... More

This company is probably the best company for doing quad in New Zealand!! This is a small and familial company. The price is very good and the tour amazing!! I and my friends were just 3 and we went with the owner for a morning tour in his beautiful lands. The owner organize the visit just with few people and... More

I have to say that I have not joined this company on any of their tours because I could not contact them to make a booking. I do not know if mine was a one-off case based on the multiple awesome reviews that they have received thus far on tripadvisor. I bought a voucher on a coupon site for a... More

There was just one other couple on our afternoon out with these great hosts. Safety briefing, a run around the yard to check we could handle the machines and we were off. The 4x4 bikes were quite big and heavy which made them more stable than others we have been on but also meant you needed some strength to handle... More

Four of us, in our 50s and 60s, did this tour in late January 2013 and it was one of my very favorite excursions. Alistair provided great instructions on operating the ATVs. Admittedly, I was quite nervous the first time I got on the vehicle, but after practicing how to start the vehicle and maneuver it, I felt confident to... More

My husband and I are in our early 50's. We booked the 5pm Argo tour and really enjoyed it. It was just Alistair and the two of us. I had feared that we were "wimping out" by being riders and not renting the ATVs, but we were really more interested in the scenery and photo opportunities. This did not disappoint.... More

Alistair, owner/operator, was patient, calm and informative and cares that you enjoy your adventure safely. Something that is important as he confirmed that there had been two fatalities so far this year on quad bikes in N.Z. Two days after our tour, sadly, a young woman tourist from Australia also died quad biking somewhere in N.Z. Alistair makes sure that... More

Absolutely fantastic experience, totally worth the price and the time. This is the top attraction in Kaikoura and totally recommended for novices of all ages to experience the many different views of New Zealand in an afternoon. The tour goes for about 20km’s and lasts 3 hours and covers lots of varied terrain. It includes breath-taking views of the coastline,... More

We had an absolutely awesome time. Fantastic scenery, from rolling hills of farmland down to cliffs on the ocean. The time spent getting some tuition and getting used to the bikes before we took off was great - Alistair made sure I was comfortable with the bike as I've only ridden a couple of times before - I was hooning...
