Take the driver’s seat on your own automatic quad bike and tackle the rugged rainforest trails of Franz Josef on an unforgettable off-road adventure. Known as the region’s ultimate rainy-day activity, this thrilling experience embraces the elements—because here, “the wetter the better”—as you splash through puddles, conquer muddy tracks and discover the wild beauty of New Zealand’s West Coast.

Begin with a comprehensive safety briefing before your experienced guide introduces you to a powerful 450cc automatic Can-Am Outlander quad bike. Build your confidence on a dedicated test track before venturing onto rainforest trails, where independent suspension and power steering make navigating rough terrain smooth and enjoyable. Whether it’s your first time riding or you’re an experienced adventurer, expert guidance ensures you’ll feel comfortable every step of the way.

Combining adrenaline, spectacular scenery, and plenty of muddy fun, this off-road adventure offers a unique way to experience Franz Josef beyond the glacier. Rain or shine, every twist, turn, and splash through the rainforest creates lasting memories of one of the West Coast’s most exciting outdoor experiences.
