Loads of fun! - This was so much fun! My sister and I had both our daughters with us (11 & 13) who also loved it. The tour was a decent length of time and the guides were hilarious and knowledgeable. I admired their respect for health and safety and made the rules very clear for everyone traveling together. The scenery is gorgeous and there are some water crossings that provide a bit of excitement. All in all, 10 out of 10 for our experience.

Have some fun! - A lot of fun, and good value for a two hour trip! Had some water crossings and diverse terrain which made it an interesting ride! Stopped half way for water and delicious biscuits and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Would do it again!

Great Fun - We enjoyed the quad bikes activity. Our family of 4 were the only participants and we had 2 staff taking us on our journey. The bikes are easy to use and you get the opportunity to go through shallow water and good country tracks.

Disappointing and boring experience - I signed up for the quad biking tour with my husband and other friends. It was very boring and a waste of money and time. I literally almost fell asleep. I also felt discriminated by the instructor due to my race. For example, the group was split into two without any explanation to us. The instructor just looked at me and my husband(Asians late 40s) and without communicating on why the group is being divided, nor without asking our preference, he just pointed us to go to our group (did he think we don’t understand English because of our Asian appearance???). When the tour started, we found out that we had been identified as “slow”, even though he never asked our preferences. Especially, I felt offended when I saw him giving more information and preferences to other non-Asian participants. There was nothing thrilling nor exciting about traveling through a trail at less than <10km/hr (I can pedal mountain bike faster than this!) and I found myself yawning throughout the 2hour ride. This tour was the most boring and disappointing time of our holiday in Hamner Springs. We had planned to go Rafting with this operator but decided to cancel after this disappointing experience.

Took all the fun out of quad biking - Not impressed with the instructor we had, riding too slow and constantly checking on us to make sure we weren’t having any fun. He needs to chill and make sure paying customers are enjoying themselves…
