Quad Biking Adventure
A quad bike is a compact, off-road, four-wheeled, powered vehicle derived from a motorcycle. Only passengers with a valid driver's license can operate the quad, and riders are not permitted. The terrain is often rugged, so be prepared for a rough but exciting ride. A basic demonstration will be offered by your guide, and you'll ride for 3 hours caravan style. Your tour includes your bike, helmet, and safety gear, but be sure to wear suitable closed-toe shoes, a light jacket, and sunscreen.

What you will see along the way:
Relax on a 45-minute motorcoach ride through the lush hills to the trailhead's starting point. Your quad biking route will traverse the iconic natural landscapes of New Zealand, from native bush and alpine forest to rugged hillsides and craggy shores. Following your guide, along 62 miles of trails, slowly climbing up 2,900 feet to the summit of a mountain peak, often shrouded in a cooling mist. Take in the snow-capped Kaikoura Mountains to the north, the cityscape of Wellington, and the white-sand beaches of Oriental Bay.

Photo Opportunities:
Sling your camera around your neck and prepare for multiple photo stops. Follow your guide across varying terrain from alpine forests and native bush to the top of towering hillsides. The views are grand: the snow-capped Kaikoura Mountains to the north, colorful weatherboard houses down in Wellington, and Oriental Bay with its lovely white-sand beaches.

Lunch:
Tuck into a light, build-your-own sandwich lunch in the great outdoors. A sample menu includes hearty bread, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, lettuce, tomato, avocado, red onion, carrot, cheese, roast beef and ham.

Special Notes:

Only passengers with a valid driver's licence can operate the quad and rider's are not permitted.
