Amazing ride

Lynlee_W, Apr 2023

The adrenalin rush was amazing, it was scary at first but then just exhilarating! I have never done anything quite like it and I would be keen to do it again. Very professional operation, very safe and the Driver was knowledgeable and witty. Highly recommended

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Definitely a lot of fun ( with a little bit of scare thrown in...) Glad you enjoyed! Regards Denise & Mark

Great tour, a thrilling spin around Paihia, Bay of Islands. The guys certainly know how to (safely) give you a feel for speed. An interesting view of the area, certainly not humdrum. Highly recommend.

A must do in Paihia

Robyne_L, Jan 2021

This was one of the best things we did during our stay in Paihia. Riding through the 80km areas with the wind blowing through your hair and the V8 blasting was just magic. Daz our driver/guide provided great commentary about the area was good to learn a lil on the way. So pleased we booked this it was well worth what we paid.
