About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 165sannad0 contributionsGreat and accessible!We had a great experience and everyone was so helpful. We had two persons in wheelchairs in our company but it was no problem. We had help to drive our accessible vehicle up to the skywire and it worked out very well to sit in the “cage” as well. Thank you very much for an awesome ride!Written 15 February 2025
- Fussyeater200 contributionsGreat experienceThe skywire was a great experience! The young man was lovely and kept us entertained on the trip up and back. The safety briefing and the whole set up was well designed. The price of the Skywire we found to be extremely expensive for what it is. Over $200 for a couple was over the top!Written 13 February 2025
- I8280KHphild0 contributionsGreat experienceA great experience flying over the treetops in both forward and reverse. Staff friendly and helpful making the trip memorable.Written 12 February 2025
- GO2HI0 contributionsForest flyerSuper location, sweeping views of the forest and coastline beyond. This ride is a blast and absolutely worth the short drive from Nelson, at the base of a stunning valley in farm country. Very well run business - professional, helpful and friendly staff… two thumbs up!!Written 7 February 2025
- 167stuartt0 contributionsCancelled rideDrove 30 minutes out of our way to do the sky wire. Got a lift to the top . Got some lovely photos of the view. But unfortunately our guide informed us due to technical problems the sky wire was cancelled , so got a lift back down the hill. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had to get refund which was no problem So cannot comment on the sky wire ride . DisappointedWritten 20 January 2025
- Discover568611624590 contributionsExciting ride that's family friendlyAwesome ride, just the right mix of excitement and thrills. It's a lovely smooth ride with high speed and slow parts to admire the view. Our family loved it and the staff are excellentWritten 8 January 2025
- RL0W0 contributionsInteresting but not intenseWe really enjoyed this trip. The tour up to the skywire was really cool with some amazing views. Our guide had some great knowledge and told us about the wildlife and plant life. The skywire is an awesome experience. We were even refunded one of our tickets when a member of our group fell ill the day of the trip. 😊Written 26 December 2024
- joryan1230 contributionsScenic skywire thrill!A beautiful, sunny Monday morning was perfect for this skywire experience. As close to being a bird as I will ever get! Felt very safe & secure thanks to the professional staff & it was an exhilarating 10 minute adventure taking in the incredible view!Written 10 November 2024
- I6047MIsharonh0 contributionsAmazing experienceAbsolutely amazing. Connor our guide was so friendly and put us at ease. Listening to the birds above the tree canopy was so peaceful!Written 6 November 2024
- fionaa2420 contributionsWell worth it!From start to finish a great experience. Connor put us all at ease and made sure we were all comfortable doing it. The drive up is almost as exciting as the ride as the road is so tight and twisty! 😂 We were offered glasses to protect our eyes and jackets for the wind - both advisable! The ride is exhilarating at the start then it slows to calm and silent to give you time to soak in the views and enjoy the experience. Our group included an 87yr old lady and her two pals who all loved it! I highly recommend this ride.Written 30 September 2024
- Glen F0 contributionsWorthwhile thing to do in NelsonLoved the experience. The hosts and guide were great . Really enjoyed it. Felt reasonably safe . Would highly recommend it to anyoneWritten 13 September 2024
- Matzakiwi0 contributionsHave a blastExhilarating and fast. Went out wearing a Bennie came back minus a Bennie. Had to do it a second time lol. They also have mountain biking, quad bike tours and paintball available to do. Defiantly recommend it.Written 25 August 2024

- jovY1087AG0 contributionsFun but not valueIt wasn't very thrilling as I thought it to be staff were great. Not worth the $110 to be honest a couple would be $220 and that's a lot for one rideWritten 27 June 2024

The 2.5-hour quad tour was an incredible experience! Our guide, Connor, was outstanding – friendly, professional, and always making sure everyone felt safe and had fun.
The Bayview Circuit offered a great mix of exciting terrain and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The quads were in excellent condition and easy to handle, making the tour enjoyable even for beginner riders. Connor also shared fascinating insights about the area, adding a personal touch to the adventure.
A fantastic tour in a beautiful setting – highly recommended!

An absolutely awesome activity experiencing quad biking for the first time in the safe & very experienced hands of Fletcher & Taylor! Everything was explained clearly & our competence on the bikes was assessed before setting off uphill. The beautiful setting was an added bonus. Thanks for such a memorable morning!

I contacted them before booking to ensure they could accommodate my wife sitting on as a passenger which they can with special double quads. She remarked it was the most comfortable quad bike experience we’ve ever done.
They organise a competency test to ensure you are comfortable on the bike before you set off which I’ve never seen before however provide invaluable as one of the other guests did not have the confidence needed so they have a 4 by 4 with a steering wheel which she used perfectly.
The view are amazing as you drive around as the playground of hills and river crossings at the end are great fun.
Would highly recommend this experience

First time for me and hubby on quad bikes and knew that the ride would be difficult up hill. Luke, our guide, switched our bikes to ones that had steering wheels so they were like little jeeps. Made us feel secure and really enjoyed the whole adventure of going thru potholes, dirt roads, streams, etc. The view was also amazing!

We did the quad biking as a cruise ship excursion and it was the best excursion we’ve done thus far! Really friendly staff that made sure we were all comfortable before heading off. The quads and tracks were really fun and the nature was beautiful. I would love to do it again next time I’m in Nelson!

Great fun wet weather activity, especially if you are have a couple of bored teens on your hands. It’s a really slick operation with our entertaining and knowledgeable guide, Ben. Quad bikes are grunty but safe and easy to operate with a good mix of terrain to keep everyone happy. Nice scenery but the best part is probably the last 15 - 20 minutes where you can let loose a bit and get dirty and a bit wet. Good value for money and highly recommended as a fun family activity A+++

We did the Bayview Circuit and I highly recommend this adventure-based activity. Our guide was Ben, and he was fabulous. Right from the start, he was methodical in going through all of the safety precautions and rules and he also provided detailed explanations on what to expect. My friend was not comfortable on the quad bike during the practice run, so Ben offered her an alternative ATV vehicle that suited her perfectly. After the practice run to ensure we were confident with our chosen vehicles, we headed off on our adventure where we rode through mostly untouched forest to make our way to the Bay View lookout where we enjoyed refreshments and beautiful views in a tranquil and peaceful environment.
As part of this activity, we also included the Skywire experience which I also highly recommend to everyone. The scenery is amazing and flying through the air at around 80 km an hour gives you such a sense of freedom.
The entire team at Cable Bay Adventure Park were a pleasure to deal with, and I would definitely recommend any of the adventure options offered by Cable Bay Adventures.
Ben, thanks for a memorable experience, your professionalism, and attitude ensured that we are confident with our vehicles and therefore we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

One of the funnest experiences on our trip to NZ. My wife hadn’t ridden a quad bike before and with a bit of coaching from Richard Ussher she was underway and smiling. The circuit up through the native forest to the skywire is spectacular. The skywire itself was exhilarating and so much fun. My kids loved it especially riding around on the quads up to the Bayview lookout. We also had a lot of fun petting and feeding the animals. All in it was a great day out and I highly recommend a visit!

Highly recommend this tour if you are wanting a bit of a thrill riding through forest and farms to some spectacular views. We booked really last minute on a stormy day so we are super grateful they allowed us to do a tour despite only being 2 of us. The heavy rain gave us huge puddles and slippery terrain which made the ride even more fun. Tony was an awesome guide with lots of info on the area. Thanks guys, will be recommending to anyone who comes down here.

We had never taken a quad bike tour in any of our travels, but this sounded like a fun experience, so we decided to give it a go. It was AMAZING! The bikes were well-maintained and easy to operate. The paths were easy to navigate, and our guide, Colin, was EXCELLENT! My husband teaches Environmental Science and Zoology, and Colin was extremely well-versed in the local birds and plant life. We were fortunate to be the only two on the tour as we are in NZ during the winter, and we felt as though it was catered for us! We enjoyed the beauty of the ride as well as the exquisite Harbour View. In addition, we walked out and saw the farm animals at the adventure park. This is a must do experience for anyone visiting in the Nelson area!
