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!!!!!!

Excellent & Breathtaking

We arrived , excellent communication from Kelly our Guide. Absolutely breathtaking views . Took some amazing photos free of charge on our phones . Lovely guide who gave us lots of history of the land. We will definitely be back . Loved how I gained more confidence for the quads half way through - going through terrain I would never do and pushing me outside my comfort zone . Can’t wait to see you next year xx

SUCH a great experience!

We booked the quad tour quite last minute on a very quick trip through the South Island and boy are we glad we did! Incredible experience, super friendly tour guide, and a fantastic way to learn some history on the area. The quads were easy to ride, clear instructions and helpful recommendations throughout the whole tour. Highly recommend for a sweet mixture of peace and adventure on your travels!

Great experience of ATV and farm life.

Skilled instruction, supportive guidance for individuals along the way, friendly atmosphere. The ATV quad is a different vehicle and requires constant focus so the stops along the way were good opportunities to enjoy the view.
