Overlooking Cable Bay

Coming in at only a couple of hours duration, these tours are a no-brainer while in Nelson, the South Island’s sunshine capital. Cable Bay Adventure Park is just a stone’s throw from Nelson town centre, offering quad bike rides through a land of native forest, opening up into spectacular views over Delaware Bay. This quad bike ride is a blast rain or shine, so you don’t even need to worry about the weather forecast. Strap on your helmet and head for the hills!

On Yer Bike Experience

Greymouth is the capital of the wild West Coast, a stunning region of New Zealand that’s totally unique. Surrounded by natural rainforests and a fascinating history to go with the landscape, it’s a place to explore with hidden gems galore. On Yer Bike’s quad adventures are the coast’s number 1 rated attraction, loved far and wide for their wild rides through the rainforests on some seriously impressive machinery. They’ve got a range of quad bikes and buggies for ages 12 and up, and an assault course on which to put them to the test. The region is known for heavy rainfalls, and this is certainly one activity that’s even better when the tracks are wet.
