Franz Josef Wilderness Tours Franz Josef / Waiau Quad Biking

Let us take you on an amazing, guided off-roading adventure! Ride through a beautiful rainforest, splash through rivers, explore an ancient glacier riverbed while being blown away by the breath-taking scenery including the spectacular Southern Alps and Franz Josef Glacier.
Your guide will kit you out with wet weather gear and gumboots and teach you how to ride our off-roading vehicles.
