Thanks Sarah and Nathan from NZTT for your review recently on out Nomad Safaris quad biking, it was lovely to host you.

This morning we got up bright and early to join Nomad Safaris on their quad bike tour. Those that know me, know I LOVE the quad biking in Franz Josef, so it was always going to be a big ask for this tour to impress us - but it really did!

We started with a flat training course, where we got confident turning the quads/ATVs, then we went up a hill to learn about active riding (where we shifted our body weight right over the quad), and got comfortable with the way the bikes responded when going down-hill.

Then we were off, up Queenstown Hill (for a ride that lasted about 2 hours, 15 mins).

What we loved:

• the way that divided us into two groups - one that was more confident and another that travelled a bit slower. This ensured everyone got a ride that they really enjoyed... we loved going quick, while nobody in the other group was pushed beyond what they were comfortable with.

• That all the gear was provided... boots, a padded jacket, waterproof pants, goggles (though I preferred to use my sunnies) and gloves. It was a cold morning though, so merino and warm base layers were still important.

• The views - seriously incredible!! And we stopped at a number of spots to snap photos and soak everything in.

• The speeeeeed - I'm not sure what speed we got up to (as I was too busy looking at where I was going), but I noticed we got up to 40km/h when I was looking, so at a guess, perhaps 55km/h which was lots of fun.

• Friendly guides that did a great job of judging what each group wanted/was capable of.

• Sheep crossing the tracks - the classic Kiwi experience we all hope for 🐑

• A tasty little morning tea - coffee/tea/hot choccy, biscuits/cookies and fresh banana bread.

• Transport is also provided from the city centre, or from a meeting point near the course itself.

Pro tip: You're not allowed to hold any cameras while driving, so if you want footage on the go, ensure you have an action camera that you can use hand's free. We didn't bring our GoPro on this trip, and don't have the hand's free mount for our Insta 360, so that's on our wishlist now!

There are awesome photo op's when you stop, so you don't be short of images, it just means we don't have video footage to show you.

You'll just have to take our word for it, this is definitely a tour worth adding to your Queenstown itinerary!!

A stormy day in Paradise made our Lord of the Rings Glenorchy adventure all the more dramatic. The perfect spot for afternoon tea—and a chance to don our cloaks and duel with swords like true warriors of Middle-earth.

As Matariki rises, so too does the spirit of reflection, renewal, and connection.

At Nomad Safaris, we invite you to pause and look up—toward the stars that mark the Māori New Year. Matariki, the cluster also known as the Pleiades, signals a time to honour those who’ve passed, celebrate the present with loved ones, and set intentions for the year ahead.

In the stillness of Otago’s alpine nights, far from the city lights, the stars shine with breathtaking clarity. It’s the perfect moment to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with whānau, and with the stories that shape Aotearoa.

So next time you’re beneath these southern skies, take a moment. Look up. Matariki is calling.

Our fabulous guide Jenny caught a breathtaking moment on a recent Lord of the Rings tour in Glenorchy - Mt Pluto (Zirak Zigil) casting its shadow across the clouds like something out of Middle-earth. It only lasted a heartbeat, but the magic was unforgettable.
