We had a really enjoyable 3 hour ride round some of the tracks on Glenstrae Farm. Up and down the roller-coaster hills, ending up on top of a cliff overlooking the sea where we saw fur-seals and dolphins in the distance. There were just the two of us, and we had never been on Quad bikes before. We were given... More

Fantastic quad bike trip on a huge property. Views over countryside down to the ocean. Cup of tea on the coast watching a huge pod of dolphins frolick. Drove back though the creek-awesome. Easy to ride bikes. A must do!!

This trip is fantastic. I was a bit slow and found the big Honda a little hard to steer at first (no power steering) and consequently took it very steady. This was not a problem to Alastair, he seemed to take it all in his stride and adjusted the speed of the trip accordingly. The views were stunning and the... More

We first did the 4 Wheel Adventure in January 2011 and returned with some other visitors in December. Alastair and Anita provide a fabulous. personalized experience by tailoring the day to the riders capabilities. After 'suiting up' you start out with some basic training on the bikes to see how you can handle the machine. Each stage of the ride... More

This is a great way of seeing most of the lovely views in Kaikoura if the weather is clear. The Farmer is lovely and does all of the tours himself. The bikes are new and automatic so aren't difficult to master. But it's not for the faint hearted or nervous drivers because you'll just hold things up, you can go... More

We had an awesome time at Glenstrae farm. The owners are lovely, and they took us on our quad bikes for 5 hours, which was really good value. The scenery was beautiful, and it was really fun riding through the creek!!!

I booked this as a surprise for my partner, who is a big fan of quad biking, on the recent trip we have taken in New Zealand. As it was winter, we were the only people riding that day which made it a very personal day. I had never ridden a quad bike before so was a little apprehensive about... More

We added Kaikoura to our itinerary at the last moment after we decided to bypass Christchurch on a recent family holiday. We all went on the Argo tour last week and it was absolutely fantastic. Whilst we would have been hesitant to drive the quad bikes ourselves, this option allowed us to enjoy this experience as family. Our 2 daughters... More

I cannot rate this trip highly enough - Alastair was very warm and friendly, and clearly passionate about showing people the beauty of his home farmland and the Kaikoura coastline. The views were breath-taking, and the quad-biking across 20km of hill and stream exhilarating. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone stopping by Kaikoura!
