Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The smile on my nephews face as his birthday present was priceless. For me I’m used to quads on the farm, but still some fun and amazing scenery. Five star worth it 👍

Excellent experience The staff Drew Kelly and Lynne were accommodating kind and provided heaps of useful information They looked after me when I was stressing and had patience with me and thus I got the best time and conquered the bike Wonderful advise to go to Parson beach up the road for sunset You all deserve great credit in bringing our time in Victor Harbor to a fabulous conclusion

What a hidden gem this place is!!
The hospitality, the history and the views!!
We had an amazing time riding quads on this property, getting muddy and seeing all the farm animals along the way.
The fire pit towards the end of our tour was such a nice touch, just to stop, relax, roast some marshmallows, have a drink and chat some more.
Our tour guide Jye was awesome.
Staff are very informative and super friendly.
HIGHLY recommend this place.
See you again soon!

Amazing experience. Throughout our time we had combination of draw dropping facial expressions as well as big smiles from the breathtaking views. Our key guide Lynn was so personable and accomodating (she made the day for us). She made us feel at ease whilst having a lot of fun along the way. Her knowledge was exceptional and we left with added recommendations for other places.

An “Adventure Tour” is a big leap to describe what you will get.
This experience is NOT aimed with anyone with any sort of experience having ridden motor bikes or quad bikes before. Do NOT attend if you are looking for a bit of fun on an off-road track with a quad bike.
As the website describes it is a tour of a farm, and that it’s what you will get. Riding the quad bike is more of a more convenient traverse of the farm rather than an “adventure” per say. Expect a ride at a slow to moderate pace, with frequent stops ensuring no pace is gained. Take one hand of the handlebars and expect a grilling!
Having experience with offroad vehicles myself we were paired with instructor Lyn who was VERY unconfident behind the wheel for an "instructor" and very picky on very minor aspects of operating a quad bike. Unconfortably, she required assistance from another instructor just to get her bike moving (she’s a tour guide) and would frequently stop on sharp bends causing a potential role over hazard in the sandy track portion of the tour. I felt frustrated and very unsafe by her guidance, who stops a top-heavy vehicle on a sharp steep bend!!
Don’t worry about wearing white as you won’t get dirty.
I would say this is an all-age friendly activity, my grandmother of 94 could comfortably operate the quad bike with lead instructor Lyn.

Thank you for your review and feedback.
We welcome all positive and negative reviews.
This is how we grow as a business.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your time on tour but am happy to hear ‘as stated on the website, it is a tour of the farm and that’s what you’ll get’ as this is what our business is all about and you have summed it up to a tee.
A farm tour. Not a race track.
It is also nice to hear that you specify our tours are an all age activity and that your 94 year old grandmother could comfortably operate a quad bike on tour as this is what we are designed for.
Again, we aren’t a race track as noted on our website, we conduct farm tours, of a working farm.
So thank you for your feedback and hope in the future you can find somewhere you can ride, that suits you and what you are after.

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"
Thanks everyone

What's the minimum age to be able to ride or can you ride with your child?
Waitpinga_Farm
Waitpinga, Australia9 contributions
Hi Melissa S, thanks for your question.
Our minimum age is 12 due to our insurance and there is only one participant per quad bike as Garydjoyce mentioned.
Let us know if there is anything else you need.
Regards
Waitpinga Farm Crew :)
Can you drive your 4x4 there ?
