Summary: We went out on the quads on Saturday, 25/10 and had a great time. The crew were very friendly and kind. They were passionate about what they do and ensured our safety. We bought the bandanas that they had for sale and we would definitely recommend buying them so you don't eat too much dust!! We got dirty and laughed and enjoyed our day. The stops off points were beautiful and timed well. The food that was provided was fresh and enjoyable. Again the crew made sure of our safety and our excursion pleasurable.
