      Hi Tara, So glad you enjoyed your tour. Our Off-Road Adventure tour is a great way to introduce yourself to quad bikes, our guides are here to help you out and have a lot of fun. Thank you for joining us. Dee
      Most incredible experience!
      Derek_C, Mar 2024
      Riding quads at Franz Josef was so cool! First of all, I can’t believe how generous the time allotment was, we spent nearly an hour and a half or more on the bikes riding around which is more than I expected for the price. Second, I couldn’t believe all we were allowed to do! We rode through the rainforest and across the river and riverbed. The guides were awesome and everyone had a great time. It started raining as we drove through the forest which made it even better! They provide gear that keeps your clothes clean and I was warm enough for the ride. A+ I’d do it again if I were in town for longer!!

      THE BEST Quad Tour in all our World Travels!!!
      Marcy_A, Feb 2024
      We have done many Quad Tours around the world and we'd say this was THE BEST one we've done. DEFINITELY highly recommend it!! The uniqueness & variety of the Tour was absolutely AMAZING & undoubtedly EXCEEDED our expectations (by far)!! Doing sooo many different things on the tour stood out for sure!! From the different levels of terrain, the many mud pits, to riding in the river & then the rainforest! This tour rocked!! And our guide was AWESOME! Great balance of fun while keeping everyone safe. We also greatly appreciated that they gave us the wet pants & jacket, boots, helmet & face covering for dust. We're often concerned on Quad Tours, cuz if you get stuck behind someone who's really slow, it affects the experience. However, it was great, as they had everyone do a few test runs for people to get comfortable and to determine the order. And this worked out great for everyone... and from beginners to experienced, everyone had a blast!! (Tip for Women: Wear a sports bra! Funny, but true).

      Mark_K, Feb 2024
      A must do experience! This quad tour was much more than I ever expected it to be. So much fun going through the mud and water and see amazing scenery at the same time.

      Waiting for a refund
      Sue_W, Feb 2024
      We didn’t go due to weather so we were offered a refund within 3-5 days. We are still waiting 10 days later
      Response from Host, Feb 2024
      Hi Sue, I am really sorry to hear that you have not received a refund yet. I have just had a look at your booking and see that the refund was requested the day that you were cancelled, the issue is that because you booked through a 3rd party the refund comes from them and can take up to 10 business working days (this excludes weekends and public holidays). I would also like to apologize for the delay in reply as we do not check our reviews daily. I would like to think the refund is in your account today being a Monday. If you could please email us at operations@franzjoseftours.co.nz so that we can have direct contact with you, if the refund has not been returned to you I will then follow it up with the 3rd party and aim to have the refund with you as soon as possible. Once again, I am extremely sorry that this has taken so long. Thank you, Jamie
      Brillant experience
      Bernadine_B, Jan 2024
      We had a lovely group leader I forget his name but was from up the North of Scotland. He made it so much fun and interesting course to get around. Highly recommend off road quad bike adventure.
      Response from Host, Jan 2024
      Thank you for the great review. We have two Scotsman on the team, would have been either Nick or Rosco. Glad they made your time with us memorable . Safe travels Dee
      10/10 do recommend!!!
      Hayley_M, Jan 2024
      This is so worth the money!! An awesome experience to do by yourself or with a partner or group. We went through rainforest, river beds and wetlands and stopped for photos along the way. It can be a bit scary to get the handle of the machine first, but when you gain some confidence it’s fantastic! Favourite part was going through the rainforest and going down the steep hill! 10/10 would recommend. Tayla was a fantastic instructor.
      Response from Host, Jan 2024
      Thank you so much for the lovely review Hayley! So glad your enjoyed your tour with Tayla. The West Coast offers some awesome terrain to play on! But the Rainforest is certainly one of a kind. Safe travels Dee

      HI Robin, Thank you for your great review! The free photos are a great bonus to the tour, saves you worrying about taking them yourself! Safe travels Dee
      Awesome activity for rainy days
      Tanya_S, Dec 2023
      The heavy rain didn’t dampen our thorough enjoyment of quad biking. Sadly the low cloud meant we couldn’t fully enjoy the scenic mountains but that just means we can come back another time 👍🏼 our guides Dylan and Rosco were awesome too :)
      Response from Host, Jan 2024
      Thank you Tanya for the great review! Always hard when it rains on your holiday. But the quads certainly offer a great activity when it is raining! We hope to see you again for those mountain views. Safe travels Dee
      Excellent

      Jenny_C, Oct 2023
      Are tour guide was great and I felt that he based our tour off of the group's general experience. I loved zigging and zagging through the riverbed, through the water and the mountain views were spectacular!
      Response from Host, Oct 2023
      Hi Jenny, Glad to hear you had a good time. We do like to adapt to each group and their abilities. The riverbed defiantly offers great views that you wont get nowhere else. Safe travels Dee
