My husband Mike and I had a wonderful trip with Aaron on the quad bikes (though more mud would have been nice). Quite a different feel from the trails in Utah where we're from, but all the better for it. We would recommend it for anyone, and will do it again when we come back. Aaron was a fun, informative...

Unique opportunity for relaxing half-day after finishing one of beautifull Fiordland-tracks, or even more if you long for pure nature without people after coming back from Milford sound. During this ride you will see beautifull landscape and encounter hundreds of sheeps but definitely no people. (See attached photos) Friendly guide and quiet, patient horses - ideal mixture for people without... More

We really strive to give everybody the best experience possible taking into account their abilities, what they want out of the ride and of course, safety also.

Where to start?.Everything about the quadbike tour was brilliant. We loved every single second,we felt it was the best value for money tour in New Zealand. The track was beautiful and easy to navigate. As beginners (and a 40 year old woman who has never ridden a bike) we felt really confident and safe after Aaron ran thru how to... More

My boyfriend (who doesn't ride), agreed to come with me on this horse trek and we both had a really great time! I grew up with horses, so sometimes I find trail rides to be boring, just one horse after the other, following along on the trail. This was absolutely not like that! The horses were picked to suit our... More

My friend and I decided to book a horseback riding adventure at the last minute. We were surprised to find out we were the only ones on that particular ride - a highly unusual event. Aaron picked us up and was a great and fun guy, and Louise gave us a private ride that lasted a few hours. Great scenery,... More

Eight of us enjoyed a very memorable ride with Louise. We had varying degrees of ability and she matched us well the horses. Stunning countryside to ride through, lovely morning tea beside a river, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be booking in again next Christmas. More

Aaron and Frazer show you a great time. I've never done quad biking before but it was great fun. Best of all you don't have to pay another $60 or so for photos. Take your own gopro or helmet camera. So, so much fun. Harry More
