I did the 1h quad biking tour with my wife and 13 year old son. We all loved the experience! The hosts were freindly and knowledgeable making sure to drive to our ability levels, pointing out any obstacles well ahead of us driving over them. The grounds are amazing, we drove on multiple different routes, through forest tracks, beautiful fields and through muddy water - great fun! The location is amazing, serene and calm with awesome views. After the thrill of the quad biking we spent time feeding the animals, they were all super freindly and obviously well looked after. A great experience - highly highly recommended!
