Arrive at Waitpinga Farm, an historic 400-acre (160-hectare) property in operation since the 1800s, for your quad bike tour. Meet your guide and group, then go over safety considerations and the proper way to operate the all-terrain vehicle. Don a helmet and take off through the rocky, hilly terrain, where ordinary tour buses can't travel. Navigate grassy hills, open fields, and shallow creek crossings, stopping for rests and photo ops along the way. Learn about the history of the farm and the area through your guide's insightful commentary. Keep an eye out for the heritage-listed shearing shed, serving the sheep farm since 1856. Imagine what it must have been like to settle Australia during this time; the landscape has changed very little since then.

      So much fun!
      Went on the adventure quad bike tour yesterday and it was absolutely brilliant. The highlight of our trip! Drew was our guide and we had the pleasure of Jye’s company too at points during the tour. So much fun. Great guides. Wonderful views. Highly recommend. We will go back again when we are next in the area.

      An excellent and unforgettable experience
      For my birthday, I embarked on a thrilling quad bike adventure, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to our exceptional guides, Jye and Drew. From the moment we arrived, their warm welcome and thorough safety briefing set the tone for a fantastic day. The well-maintained quad bikes were easy to handle, allowing us to confidently navigate through diverse terrains, from dense forests to sandy dunes and rocky trails. Jye and Drew struck the perfect balance between guidance and freedom, adjusting the pace to suit our group and sharing fascinating insights about the area's history and wildlife. A highlight was reaching a breathtaking viewpoint, where we paused to soak in the stunning vistas and capture memorable photos. Their dedication to safety and ensuring we had an amazing time made this birthday adventure one I will cherish forever.

      Fantastic afternoon - great value and well worth doing
      We did the Adventure tour. It was so much fun. The staff were fantastic. Lynn and Jay (or Jye - sorry not sure) were so lovely and welcoming. Professionally run and a great afternoon. I felt like Mad Max by the end. Well worth doing. If you have some teenage boys I think they would really enjoy.

      Great fun and easy
      Just up the road from Victor Harbor , the farm sprawls across the scenic hills leading down to the ocean. After some practice laps we headed off on a guided tour around the farmland , everyone on their own bike. Even the first time rider handled the tracks well and all had a great time . Safe and fun with a bit of nature and history thrown in . Recommended.

      Exhilarating Experience!
      Fantastic views of the area including the coastline. The natural environment has been preserved as much as possible even though it is also a working farm. The staff were very knowledgeable and explained clearly all safety procedures and the various aspects of the farm and its History. They were also good humoured and watchful of novices like me!

      Fantastic time.
      What a wonderful find. We had such a good time. Even my husband who used to be a motorbike rider enjoyed it. I was a rank beginner and they were really patient and thorough. There were other groups with young kids and they seemed very careful and decked them out in good safety gear. Went back twice it was such fun.

    We visited the farm as a group of friends aged from 17 to 37
    Jack and Daniel took our group and were informative and funny throughout our visit.
    The bikes were so much fun and the views were amazing.
    We will be back 🙂

    We did the adventure tour and it was amazing. Our group was lead by Daniel and Kev popped in and out. Both of these guys were very friendly, knowledgable and approachable. It all felt very safe and even when at the back of the pack, it is clear the workers keep a close eye on you to make sure everyone is okay. It was really an amazing and enjoyable day and we will definitely be returning in the near future to do it again.

    What a fabulous day out, much better than anticipated! Drew took us all over the beautiful 500 acre Aussie working sheep farm, the original settlers stone home still remains as a ruin being rebuilt, can't wait to do the tour again to see the home restored. 'The quad bikes are easy to use and very stable. There is also a funny old home built in a rock canyon... it is nicknamed "Uncle Micks house", as a joke about the horror film Wolf Creek.

    My son and I loved every bit of it. Jye, our guide, was brilliant... we couldn't have asked for a better guide. The whole team at Waitpinga Farm were very friendly and patient. The quad bike riding is exhilarating. They take you in small groups, so if you're a beginner, you can go at your own pace. Jye let us open them up through the sandy part of the course, which was amazing. I can't recommend this enough... we'll definitely be back! My son (who is 13) said it was the best experience of his life. Thank you Jye and Waitpinga Farm!

    Genuine adventure tour of 500 acres scenic coastal south Aussie farm. The tour leader Drew went over and above to give us the best day out ever. The quad bikes were easy to ride very stable and amazingly capable over soft sand and rocks. But wait theres more We!
    We also saw a movie set like rough hut (could be something out of an Aussie horror film) in a rock canyon.

    Fantastic way to see great coastal scenery whilst learning to master the quad bike. A thorough preparation talk and close supervision ensures guests are safe and can enjoy the entire experience. There are diffferent adventures to choose from, we choose the shorter one. It is a fun activity for family groups. The owners of the property are very conscious of looking after the environment. The property is also a working farm.

    What a great experience. Check in with Mary was easy, Instructions from Kelly, Jye and Lynn on the quad bikes were clear & precise. The practice track is a great idea especially for the novices (me) to get accustomed to the controls. The guides gave plenty of encouragement so helped with the first time apprehension.
    Lots of great information on the farm and awesome scenery.
    Overall a very different way to spend our anniversary with children & grandchildren. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to "have a go"

    We had an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived we were treated to the most friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our tour guide was Alan and he was great. Told us lots of interesting facts about the area and made our time fun. The drink and marshmellows around the firepit just added that extra bit. We will be back!

    Today four of us went on the adventure tour with Waitpinga Farm Quad Bike Adventures. Not only was the tour awesome, our guide Jack was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and gave us some great information at the places we stopped. He was also a fantastic person and made the tour a lot of fun. We would all definitely recommend the tour to others and will be going back again ourselves. Thank-you for a great day!!
