great experience overall, very thorough and careful and made sure that all inexperienced riders were very comfortable before heading up to the mountains. The view was absolutely amazing and our tour guides were very friendly and accommodating. 10/10 experience and highly recommend to anyone who wants to see this beautiful island from up top!

Our group of 6 loved everything about our quad bike tour. Matt and Nico were great guides who supported some of our group who were first timers on a bike . The views were spectacular. We would highly recommend this tour .
Great afternoon out. The guys run a pre training run to check how capable you are before you set off up the mountain. Safety gear is provided, helmets, gloves, jacket leggings, boots and goggles. The views are fantastic although eyes on the track is the way to go. Going up a couple of stops were made for the views and to check how everyone was coping. Time up the mountain is approx 2hrs. Coming down is probably more difficult so be careful. My money was particularly well spent on this jaunt Well done guys great job, I will be back some time.
We loved this tour! Thomas and Ben were the perfect guides - knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Company was super easy to deal with and accommodated our family, great communication in the lead up. Location and scenery was unbelievable. Equipment provided was also great (including warmer socks and gumboots, etc) was really helpful. Thanks guys!
A fantastic experience, the guides Tom and Thomas were brilliant. I took my 17 year old son and this short trip will be one to remember. Exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.
This was really fun , the guides were great , patient and friendly and we had a great time . The views were fantastic!
We were a family of three on Nomad Safari Quad bike tours on the 26/08 and we loved it, Both Niko and Ben were great guides who really took the time out to make sure we loved it even though we were novices, I would do it again and highly recommend it.
I have done a few quad bike adventures and this was by far the best ever. Great scenery, great guide, great bikes. One of the best things to do in queenstown
We had a great time on the quad bikes. All wet weather gear & simple quad bike familiaration training was provided. The scenery on the trek up the mountain was sensational.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Highly recommend it. Lots of fun and stunning scenery.
I attended the activity alone (alongside two other participants) and the activity guides were so welcoming and interactive. I had Benjamin and Matt for the morning and they made sure we were all comfortable before, during and after the quad biking experience. Will definitely come back with family and friends! Thanks a bunch!
The guides were exceptional and we had such a great time would recommend to all. We where lucky it snowed during the night which made the journey so much cooler to do.
Loads of fun. Good training before setting off. Incredible views, amazing tracks. Guides were fantastic, got some speed up and messed around in the mud, but also felt safe and comfortable.
Absolutely amazing and fun time. Well worth the time if your ever in queenstown definitely go for it
Ben our guide was very friendly and obliging. I was worried this trip would be dumbed down and lame. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every minute.
Amazing experience with Benjamin leading us up and down the mountain. Great views and catering provided.
Thomas was a great guide. He explained how to operate the quad with easy instructions. The ride throughout the tour was so fun and the views were amazing!
Take every piece of equipment they offer - boots (make sure no holes), rubber pants, neck gator, gloves, helmet, googles. If you are uncomfortable on the practice track DO NOT drive by yourself or better yet don’t go at all. Definitely for fun adventurers not the faint of heart. Matt and Nico were great.
What a way to see Queenstown and cap off our time here. We’ve done quad bike tours before and this was by far the best. Matt and Dan were our guides and and they were awesome. Hot coffee and banana bread at the top with breathtaking views. A must do! Highly recommended
So much fun! The instructors were professional and kept us safe. The afternoon tea on top of the mountain included gorgeous views and some yummy snacks. Would recommend.
Amazing staff, knowledge and fun trails. safety was paramount. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a fun half day experience.
My partner and I had an incredible quad bike tour with Tom! We had so much fun and were blown away by the amazing views around Queenstown. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for some adventure.
Awesome trip, heaps of fun. Guides are super chill but also make sure you are safe and confident! Views at the top are amazing! We we as a couple but were in a small group of 5 total.
Dan and Phoebe were amazing guides! Great attitudes, easy to talk with, kind, and very informative as we stopped during our quad journey. The trails were spectacular, the views were even better, and to rest at the top for coffee and a chat, was super cool. I'll always remember this trip, and hope to do it again some day!
Matt and Phoebe were great tour guides and ensured we were capable before heading off. Views were amazing and Phoebe added in a few extra little tracks to challenge us. First time on ATVs and loved it.
Definitely be in decent physical shape, stretch first, and stay hydrated. Even on a motorized vehicle, the steeper inclines and lopsided trails will give you a minor workout. Be on alert for stray sheep. Listen to your guide and don't get distracted
Good comunication and insight.
The staff are super friendly and helpful, give u a training and safety course on quads and supply safety equipment, better than last 10 quad rides I done. The views are fantastic , the top of Mountian view is the best.So much fun.
Confidence and strength is important to be able to do this. Unfortunately we overestimated our own abilities. However, the extremely friendly and competent team leaders were clearly familiar with these problems and instead we did the trail as passengers in a 4 wheel drive buggy. Even as passengers the experience was totally exhilarating and the views incredible.
It was an amazing experience, the tour guides were very professional, ensuring that everyone had fun and was safe. Highly revommemded, the views were incredible.
Worth doing. Great ride and views. Bikes were excellent and made the ride super easy. Ksena and Shar were excellent and adapted the ride to the abilities of the group.
Excellent experience. The guides Tom, Phoebe and Hannah were all outstanding. A very professional approach with full safety briefings and training before setting off into the hills. Can’t recommend highly enough.
We were blessed with stunning weather so the views were spectacular. The whole experience was great fun and a really exciting activity to do with the family. My four girls and wife loved it. Tom and Nicko were very thorough in the training session before we took off which helped identify that my youngest was not really up to it which meant she rode safely with Nicho but still got the enjoy the experience.
Amazing experience, beautiful views lots of fun on the quads and amazing staff. Felt very safe and comfortable after the training session to drive the quads. Highly recommendable experience!!
A great trail on a private property giving you exclusive access to some of Queenstown’s best views. The crews were friendly and helpful, the trail was great, even for beginners but more experienced quad bikers would have trails to be taken on. A stop at the top with a hot beverage and more breathtaking views before going back down the hill. Gear is provided and you get to release your inner kid driving at pace through muddy puddles. The tour took the advanced drivers down via the Shotover river and we got to see the Jet boat in action. Finished off with some ducking and weaving through the trails before ending back at base. Very enjoyable ☺️
What a fantastic experience. Beautiful scenery while you ride through varied terrain. Challenging and fun!! Once in a lifetime experience. Our guides Benjamin and Matt provided confident instruction to maintain safety. You’ll be glad you did this.
Such an awesome ATV tour! We rode all the way up the mountain and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The ride was fun, safe, and full of good laughs. Our guide Phoebe was fantastic. Definitely a must-do in Queenstown!
Very enjoyable experience. Great training from our friendly guides, Benjamin and Phoebe who ensured we were safe and made us feel confident. Amazing scenery. Good fun all round.
Could not recommend more! I went solo and had the time of my life! Our guide Benjamin was so incredible, so enthusiastic and made sure the tour was fun for everyone in our group of all skill levels and the views were incredible! Stopped for hot chocolate and biscuits half way through before snapping some photos with the incredible view as backdrop (Benjamin also was the model photographer getting the best angles). My favourite experience in Queenstown so far would do it 10 times over! Thank you for an incredible day :)
This was a great experience. The tour was professional and well run. Pick up from hotel/caravan site was excellent. The views were spectacular and really made our trip. The hot chocolate/coffee with homemade cake was a great extra on the top of the hill.
Glen and Ben were a great pair. Patient with instructions, and those instructions made me feel safe. Glen took pictures for us during break time on the ride up, which was great, because you're understandably not allowed to take pictures while driving. They led us to a spectacular view, and even gave us banana bread, coffee, cookies, and tea at to enjoy before descending our mountain again. A great time.
It was an awesome experience and our guide was very thorough with his instructions and how to handle the bike. One of the highlights of our trip.
Had good weather and it was really fun! The riding goes for about 90 minutes and was adventurous. We thought it was good value for money - it’s also on private land so that makes it more exclusive also.
I was somewhat nervous about operating the quad bike but our guides Benjamin and Jordy gave us thorough instructions including how to stay safe. They then took us on a thrilling tour complete with incredible views.
A fantastic experience Ben was a great leader , it was far better than I expected, very challenging at times , couldn’t have enjoyed it any more
We did the Queenstown Hill quad bike tour with Jordan, and it was an absolute blast! Everything we needed to know about the bikes and safety was thoroughly covered before we set out up the mountain, including practice runs and getting a decent feel for the quad bikes. The experience was fun from start to finish and the views from the top were simply stunning! Jordan was awesome. A friendly and personable guide, more than happy to answer any questions, and with fantastic knowledge of the bikes and the entire area/region. This tour was an absolute pleasure and if you’re looking for something new to try and views you cannot otherwise access as a tourist - 100% do this tour!!!
Fantastic team, fun ride, great views! Make sure you take some gloves, it gets fresh up there. Highly recommend
Wonderful experience learning quad bikes. It was hard foe me but well worth it. The two guides were great. Would highly recommend.
If you have ATV experience or strong upper body strength, it’s ok. Otherwise beware! Tour guides ride fast up the rocky trail and you have to keep up. They don’t watch out for you. My ATV hit a rock trying to keep up, I flew off and broke my wrist. It could’ve been much worse, since you ride on the edge of the cliff. They have you fill out a form, for their protection, and don’t call or follow up to see if you’re ok. I had 5 months of pain, PT and rehabilitation. Ruined what otherwise was a wonderful trip.
My friend and I went quad biking on Queenstown Hill and we had THE best experience. From start to finish our safety was a priority, but that didn’t compromise some mucky fun. Our guide was Jordan and he was incredibly pleasant; he took care of us and his chat was highly entertaining - a real gem. Thanks for creating a memorable experience for us.
