				Highly recommended for anyone looking for an adventure Our company christmas party was here. The Quad biking experience was fantastic! The company truly went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable time. The staff were professional and they made safety a top priority. As some of us were new to riding quad bikes, they provided clear and thorough instructions, which really put us at ease. They took the time to explain everything step by step, and we felt confident and secure throughout the entire experience. 100% will fo it again!

				AMAZING! Our two teenage boys were keen to learn to ride dirt bikes.  An afternoon with Grenville and they came back with big smiles - having gone from absolute beginners to having successfully navigated some fantastic trails.  Excellent instruction and a great focus on building skills and being confident to navigate terrain safely- cant recommend highly enough!

				Great adventure with super views We had the best time with Adventure Trail Rides, the morning was spectacular with great views everywhere, Garry was very helpful with guidance on the bikes, tracks and sharing his knowledge on the region's landscape. Really glad we had this opportunity, definitely recommend to anyone looking for some adventure around Christchurch. We didn't have any previous experience with quad bikes, but the instructions were very clear and we felt safe and adventurous all the way through.

				A glimpse of New-Zealand! The dirtbike tour was amazing. We hired 2 ktm 350 for a day tour and it was one epic day of riding! Grenville was an excellent guide at showing us a variety of trail adapted to our skill level. He made us rode some single track, flowy track, scenic view, hill climb and it was a perfect mix. Bikes were in good shape and you can tell that they are being well maintain. I do recommend 100% anybody that wants a glimpse of what New-Zealand has to offer dirt bike wise!!

				Incredible quad biking adventure experience in New Zealand An absolute highlight to our trip. We went as a group of 6 adults, a 12 and 13 year old and a 9 year old. Granville was the most superb guide and instructor and took our youngest on his quad bike. Plenty of options for beginners with incredible view points and as we got used to the tracks we went on much more challenging and fun tracks, through tunnels, fields, up summits and down and through riverbeds. It was spectacular scenery and so exhilarating. Everyone’s abilities were catered for! Would highly highly recommend this and it’s worth the drive out of Christchurch. Absolutely brilliant way to start 2024

				Great Enduro Adventure in New Zealand I booked the tour because I've wanted to try enduro for a long time and New Zealand has such an incredibly beautiful landscape. Grenville took us on a tour for a day and showed us the area around Springfield. Adapted to our abilities, he led us on trails of varying difficulty and challenged us well, but didn't overwhelm us. There were steep climbs, technical passages and lots of water crossings. Grenville was an experienced and very talkative guide and knows exactly what he can expect from you. I would book the tour again at any time.

				Fun Quadbike Adventure Our guide, Gary, was amazing and professional at guiding us though the controlling of quad bikes and brought us to see the amazing lookout places within the area. We had SO much fun riding the bikes as well as enjoying the view along the way! definitely recommend! just remember to book and pay before your arrival so that you won’t be lock by the gate like us 😂

				Good welcomed fun Great trails, spectacular scenery and there’s many routes available depending on riders ability and skill levels. Only small gripe is it would have been good to have some newer/upmarket quads with a bit more power or alternatively even though our guide stepped things up on the return we were still “leashed” some what to low range gears as opposed to the taller settings for a “decent hook”. Nevertheless this is a great activity for a vast array of riders purely looking to fill a few hours with some good fun and explore the surrounding region.
