Ride into Queenstown’s high-country terrain on an exhilarating guided quad bike adventure across private trails on Queenstown Hill. With more than 25 kilometres of tracks, fully automatic quad bikes and routes tailored to different riding abilities, you can tackle genuine off-road terrain while taking in extraordinary views across mountains, valleys and lakes. Full training, protective gear and expert guidance are included, so even first-time riders can get involved.

Ride the High-Country Trails Above Queenstown

Leave the streets of Queenstown behind and head onto a private high-country sheep station, where a network of off-road trails winds across Queenstown Hill. After a full safety briefing and hands-on training, climb aboard your 400cc automatic quad bike and follow your guide into terrain selected to suit the group’s riding ability. With only six riders per guide, the experience combines plenty of adventure with personalised guidance along the way.

As the trails climb higher, the reward is an ever-changing panorama across Queenstown’s remarkable alpine landscape. Stop at elevated viewpoints to take in lakes, valleys and mountain ranges before reaching the summit area for a warm drink surrounded by sweeping 360-degree views. With approximately 2.25 hours on the quad bike, this is much more than a quick ride — it’s an opportunity to reach parts of Queenstown Hill that most visitors never get to see.

Exclusive Trails, Big Views & Genuine Off-Road Adventure

What sets this experience apart is access to private Queenstown Hill terrain and more than 25 kilometres of trails. Every section offers something different, from open high-country tracks and steeper climbs to rugged off-road sections and panoramic viewpoints. Routes can be adapted to different skill levels, giving newcomers the confidence to enjoy their first quad biking experience while still providing experienced riders with a genuine sense of adventure.

Queenstown’s weather is part of the experience too, and all-weather riding gear, waterproof clothing, goggles and safety equipment are provided. With an experienced local guide leading the way, light refreshments included and transfers available from selected Queenstown accommodation, the practical details are taken care of so you can concentrate on the riding, the scenery and the thrill of being high above Queenstown.
