Quad Safari

The Nomad Quads base is just a 15 minute transfer from downtown Queenstown. Here, we will kit you out in protective clothing before your training begins. We ensure you are comfortable with operating a Quad - our guides recognise that riding a quad bike for the first time can sometimes be a little nerve-racking and we pride ourselves on making riding as fun as possible for ALL levels of experience.

Nomad Quad Safaris operate fully automatic 400cc quad bikes with 4WD ensuring an experience that is adventurous yet safe. Full training on the quad bike ensures that all levels are catered for. All weather waterproof clothing is also provided along with all safety gear in order to ensure a fun yet safe quad bike tour.

Don’t forget your camera as the viewpoints provide stunning photo opportunities. As Nomad Safaris has exclusive use of Queenstown Hill this ensures access to a wealth of trails covering different types of terrain allowing a Quad Bike tour that is tailored to the ability of the group.

Quad Bike Riding and Safety

Training and Safety Protocol:

* To ensure everyone's safety, we offer training at the beginning of your quad bike experience. If you're unable to demonstrate safe riding or cannot communicate with our guides during the training in plain English, for your safety and the safety of others, we won't allow you to participate in the quad bike activity. 

* Quad biking is a physically demanding activity which requires a degree of physical strength and people of smaller stature/slight build are at greater risk of accident. Guides are trained to recognise potential safety concerns, including rider size and strength.  This may restrict participation based on known risk factors.

Alternative Options:

Credit Card Policy:

A valid credit/debit card is required when you check in, otherwise you can not participate in the trip and there will be no refund.  In the event of an accident,  we may charge up to $2,500 to cover any damage, repairs or insurance excess.

Is there a free parking area where I can be picked up from?
If you have your own vehicle, you can park for free out at the Nomad Safaris Quad Bike Pick Up Location - 420 Tucker Beach Road (Tucker Beach Recreational Reserve), Queenstown. The car park is located very close to our quad base, and if you have your own vehicle you can park it there at your own risk and we can pick you up on the way through. Please ensure you inform us if you prefer this option. Otherwise, it will be assumed you are meeting us at the shop or at your chosen pick-up location.  It can also be found using What3Words: asparagus.remixes.restarts.
