Wow wow wow what an experience.
Not marketed as "Extreme" but trust me this is totally exhilarating......not a scraped out track over some bumps in a field....Quad Bike site seeing and adventure at its best.
Arrived early and was greeted firstly by Kel's beautiful cat followed by Kel who exudes confidence and professionalism with no ego and has a way of calming things down when necessary.
She could see straight away that my wife was not so sure concerning heights and before a word could be uttered jumped straight in and said to my wife how about you and I take the ATV while the others ride the quad bikes.......brilliant and totally made my wife feel at ease plus me as well.
To be fair the Kel's ATV is amazing and this lady knows how to handle that machine, my wife actually done well out of this as she got a chauffer driven full on 4x4 mountain experience enjoying all the views and was full of smiles.
Kel's Quad bikes are top end yes they do take a little getting to grips with but full and simple instructions are provided.........the machines have an auto gear box ...lever throttle, without you knowing it Kel puts you through your paces and only if she is happy will she take you up the mountain, there was zero pressure just a fun follow me and then our order was sorted as to who was to follow who and off we went.
If need be these machines will take you up these tracks at a snails pace but equally there are times when some speed comes into play but all overseen by Kel and trust me I don't think she takes prisoners if a fool tries to play games.
I have read comments about the fact that the guide takes the photos.......I totally understand why, yes there are frequent photo stops but I think the experience would be spoilt if everyone wanted to take photos, so better to let Kel use your phone and take your photos as she knows the best views and then you share between your group.
Truly if I had time to squeeze in another visit I would and if I ever return to this side of the world count me in.
Thanks Kel after 5 weeks in NZ this was truly the most fun and exhilarating experience my wife and I have had it was fantastic.
Thank you
