I had booked the heli-biking trip with Fat Tyre. At about 8:00 pm on the evening before when I rang them up, they told me the trip the next day was cancelled because the helicopter wasn't available. They didn't offer any alternative, just pretty much said "we aren't going tomorrow". I didn't find that very helpful. So I went down... More

I know most of these reviews are from people who did the heli biking but we opted to do the Cycle De Vine tour as a fun option to sample some of the wineries outside of Queenstown. Everything was just as we expected and as laid out on the website (except that we did three, not two wine tastings -... More

My husband and I are trail riders back here in the States but decided to go for it in Queenstown by going on a heli-bike trip. We have never been on a helicopter either and we had a blast. First I must say that Mark our guide was outstanding. We are not the fastest bikers and Mark stayed with us... More

I want to give a huge shout out to Greg and Mark for the mountain biking tour. I went for two days, the second one being a heli biking tour. It was the most amazing two days of my trip to New Zealand. They are incredible guides, making sure you get enough scenery, single-track and guidance. They really cater to... More

This was without a doubt the BEST way to get right amongst the sureal landscape of Queenstown. Riding from Arrowtown, across the Shotover river, through farmland trails and following the main lake (the name escapes me) our guide Greg had plenty of information and kept us at a good pace over trails that ranged from simple, to technical. The favorite... More

Getting picked up at our accomdation, the scenic helicopter ride (with commentary from the pilot) up the mountain, the spec of the full suss bikes, Greg the guide (and his team) and the amazing trails - which were so varied - it really did have every type of surface I have ever ridden...

Amazing heli trip, topped off with the best mountain biking in the Queenstown area! Greg has access to back country rides that the locals can't even ride. I should know I'm a local! More
