- 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.

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!!

Hi there, what do you suggest for kids of 6 and 11? Can they get a ride on their own on a little quad? Thanks.
Written 23 September 2019
From memory I think riders had to be aged 12 and over. Best to check with the operator of the tour to confirm though.

Do you need a drivers licence and whats the max weight quads hold
Written 5 June 2018
No, you do not need a driver's licence as you are completely off road. I am not sure of the max weight but check with Waitpinga Farm and I am sure they can tell you. Have fun!!
