Awesome experience
Fabulous fun half day adventure. Riding quad bikes along a rough track right to the top of the mountain. The whole thing was well run and expertly led.

Quad bike
Great views and seems great until you realize that if it’s your first time doing quad bike they won’t help you, they will make you stress and make decisions for you like not going with speed and not doing the full tour. Just have done one way in and back half the mountain. Around 1h30 instead of 2h and they was trying to save time going back to views with a « new speech » that they did on the way in. Started with a good feeling and finished feeling robbed ( when you see the price of the activity you expect way more than what they bring).
From The Cardrona - Mountain Quad Bike Experience
To anybody reading this response this is a fabulous opportunity to highlight the importance we place on the safety of our clients. Quad biking always involves a high element of risk, so as guides we have to be able to adapt to each groups differing abilities. We are blessed to have many different trail options on this incredible mountain from easy through to very challenging. Each rider is screened for competency in the first 10 minutes whilst we are still on relatively flat terrain. If members of a group are considered to not have adequate control of the bike for the more challenging terrain we know is further up the mountain then we will either choose an easier route, or ask them to travel with us in one of our off-road buggies as a passenger. The guides decision is final & purely for everyoneâs safety. If we were to proceed on a more challenging route with inexperienced/ incompetent riders we would be putting them at high risk of severe injury/death & highly likely major damage to our expensive machines. This tour is a âSCENIC TOURâ as reiterated in many places online & also included in the pre ride safety briefing.

Must do Cardrona
Highly recommend. The views from the top of the farm let you see all the way to Wanaka and over to the ski fields. The guides were great. Will definitely be back again.

Super rando en haut des montagnes!
Rando au milieu des montagnes, avec vue sur la vallée de wanaka très sympa. Nous l'avons fait au levé du soleil à 7h, ça valait le coup de se lever tôt ! Passage au milieu des fermes et des taureaux :D Attention le nombre de places proposées sur bookme n'est pas toujours à jour. Pour nous la balade a duré moins de 2h, au lieu de 2h30 annoncées. Mais super promo sur bookme, on ne peut pas tout avoir ! Nous recommandons vivement the cardrona quad experience!!!!!!
