“The quadbiking was great, our guides were excellent, a really exciting trip. Booking through Get Your Guide for two people means you only have the option of two single quads. We wanted a double quad, which was $125 cheaper. We would have saved this money if we had booked directly. Get Your Guide needs to provide all the options for booking.”
Ride a quad bike through Nelson forest and farmland to Cable Bay viewpoints, with expert guidance, scenic stops, and routes for all abilities.
“Loved our guide. He was informative and took breaks throughout. We were lucky to go right after it rained so it was fun to drive through puddles! It was foggy when we went but I’m sure on a clear day the views would have been stunning! This is inside the Cable Bay area which is stunning and has lots of animals too! This tour is the short tour but upon our arrival they also offered a longer tour that we could choose and paid the difference. So worth it!”
