About this experience
The Quads base is just a 15 minute transfer from downtown Queenstown. Here, the host's will kit you out in protective clothing before your training begins. Your comfort on riding a quad is always ensured - the guides recognise that riding a quad bike for the first time can sometimes be a little nerve-racking and they pride themselves on making riding as fun as possible for all levels of experience.
