Once in a lifetime experience - Once in a lifetime adventure! Views were maxing against the snow cap mountains, tussock grass and little lambs! It was pure 2 hours of riding on different terrains, ground, grass, puddle of water, and the road which allows u to drive at full speed! The guide took photos and videos of us. Though it was required at a fee, we felt it was well deserved for the amazing views that she was able to take of us. Highly recommend!

Super fun quad trails, great guides and rare snow! - Went on the quad bike tour. It was a rare weather day for heavy snow in the area, we lucked out on such a unique experience – I hope some future customers luck out in the same way. Guides were helpful and willing to have fun! They were great photographers too! This was the first time I ever touched snow and what a magnificent way to do so near the peaks at Cardrona Valley!

Awesome Experience - Awesome experience, Summer was our guide who was very knowledgeable about the past history of the area which was very interesting to learn about. Going up to the top and driving through the snow certainly was an unforgettable experience. Thanks Summer!!

Safe, fun, and 100% worth it! - Kelly took my friend an I on a beautiful Quad bike tour around the beautiful mountains in Cardrona. During this experience she pointed out things which contributed to the history of this beautiful old town. She was a very bubbly and supportive tour guide, ensuring safety while also providing a spectacular adventure with amazing views, flora and fauna. Couldn’t recommend this experience enough! Thank you

Great quad bike experience for the family - Our family (kids aged 12 and 15 years old) had a fabulous time on the quad bikes on the River Run. The kids were so excited to ride their own quads. The owner Kel was friendly and engaging (and very responsive to emails) and took the time for us all to feel comfortable with the quads (kids were new to quads) before taking us on a scenic trip, stopping briefly to provide some history about the surrounding area. Such a beautiful area and the photos are a great reminder of the fun morning.

Gorgeous Views - Wow wow wow!! This has to be one of the most scenic drives I’ve ever taken. We had an overcast day that made for some awesome photos. Our guide, Hannah, was outstanding and a lot of fun. The time absolutely flew by.

DO NOT recommend - Sadly we were miss informed when asked if there will be driving in snow. Right before we came we asked if there is snow and they told us yes. That was most of the experience that we were looking forward to. Very disappointing, honestly a waste of money, don’t appreciate insincerity. On top of all that, pictures were taken of us through out the trip on the guides iPhone without asking only to be asked to pay extra at the end to receive them. The guide wasn’t driving a quad bike which made it difficult to follow her track. DO NOT recommend.
