Reviews: Cardrona Valley Mountain Quad Experience from Wanaka
Guest User2024-10-03
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!About
