“This is a must do. The total experience was excellent—from the pre-journey brief and practice rides with Johnnie and Alastair (where safety and care were paramount) to the banter and insightful knowledge that Alastair shared as he introduced us to his little slice of paradise. We both rode quad bikes on a brilliant 30‑degree day with almost no wind, which enhanced the experience even further. Enjoying cold drinks and biscuits while parked in a creek under the shade of the bush was simply brilliant. The variety of terrain and lush vegetation is sublime, and witnessing huge pods of dolphins playing in the bay with crystal-clear waters beneath the cliffs made it unforgettable. Truly an authentic Kiwi experience!”

“Honestly, this was one of the most amazing adventure experiences we’ve had. It ticked all the boxes for us. Alastair was a wonderful and funny guide who made our morning absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!”

“Our son had been eager to try quad biking, and this is the go-to adventure in Kaikoura. I reckon you’d struggle to find a collision of expansive farmland, high-altitude thrills, fun tracks, and gob-smacking scenery anywhere else. On arrival, you’re fitted with a helmet and jacket and taught the basics by Alastair and John—ensuring you’re safe before you start. Then comes the best game of follow-the-leader you might ever experience—imagine stopping on a ridgeline to watch a huge pod of dusky dolphins frolicking in the ocean far below while nearby sheep and cattle mutter about “bloody tourists!” Do it—you’ll love it! A big shout out, too, to the team for their support of individuals and families dealing with terminal cancer.”

“My family absolutely loved this adventure! My kids (10 and 8 years old) had a blast riding in the UTV while the driver safely navigated a fun course for them. My husband rode the quads and couldn’t stop smiling. The land, views, and even the creek were beautiful. We’ll definitely book with them again if we return to Kaikoura. You won’t regret it!”

“This was a great first-time 4WD experience for us. They provided helmets and jackets, and the equipment looked brand new. The drive over the farm was exhilarating—with just the right amount of bumps to keep it fun. The scenery was amazing: the drive from Kaikoura was spectacular, and we stopped on two cliffs overlooking the Tasman Sea to enjoy breathtaking views of sheep, cows, and even sea lions. Even in our 60s, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute!”

“Nothing beats 4-wheeling on 1600 acres along the magnificent Kaikoura coastline. The instruction was excellent, safety protocols were rock-solid, and the guides were terrific. The views from high atop the cliffs hugging the coastline were absolutely stunning. A must do!”

“We had an amazing time at Glenstrae. The vehicles were in excellent condition and the guides were fantastic—fun to be around while also being extremely safety conscious and skilled. The views were spectacular, and the chance to see seals and dolphins up close was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended!”

“I joined this tour as part of my Contiki group and had an absolute blast! The guides, while delightfully crusty in a good-natured way, were incredibly helpful and unfiltered. They even stopped on the drive back to show us some cute seals. The land we quad biked over was breathtaking, with stunning sea vistas and tranquil valleys. The tracks were well maintained—even a stream was navigated. If you’re looking for a unique adventure with some colourful characters, this is it. It’ll be one of the best adventures of your life!”

“This experience was pure fun! The views were absolutely stunning, and the team was incredibly accommodating—perfect for someone like me who only wanted to be a ‘passenger princess’ while the rest of my family enjoyed riding on their own. Highly recommend!”

“We spent a few enjoyable hours in near-perfect conditions with a couple of generous Kiwi blokes who love a good yarn and sharing their little piece of paradise. The bonus was witnessing a huge pod of dolphins playing in the bay and seals basking on the rocks below. A truly memorable family experience!”
