what started as a very scary 30th present turned out to be the most awesome adventure. brilliant helicopter ride and stunning scenery the whole way down. My partner and i were pretty unfit so there were a few hills that we walked up, but other then that a sensational ride! absolutely amazing day and i would recommend it to everyone. More

One of our favourite activities. Great heli ride, fab weather so views amazing, guide Greg was relaxed but informative. Ride was exhausting for us who are relatively inexperienced in track biking, but we loved it! More

Absolutely awesome day. Started off with a 10-15 helicopter flight (first ever for me) up to Crown Peak where Greg our guide got us underway. We decended down by a mixture of rocky 4x4 tracks, muddy single tracks and ended it with a gentle ride back to Arrowtown. What more variety could you ask for? The day was made by... More

To cap off a weeks riding in and around Queenstown we did a helicopter in ride of The Roaring Meg Pack Track. Very technical single track to 4 wheel drive track / open gravel road blast is how I'd describe it... Awesome ride and scenery, along with great guiding to keep us safe and alive. Some of the rides drop... More

I had booked the heli-biking trip with Fat Tyre. At about 8:00 pm on the evening before when I rang them up, they told me the trip the next day was cancelled because the helicopter wasn't available. They didn't offer any alternative, just pretty much said "we aren't going tomorrow". I didn't find that very helpful. So I went down... More

I know most of these reviews are from people who did the heli biking but we opted to do the Cycle De Vine tour as a fun option to sample some of the wineries outside of Queenstown. Everything was just as we expected and as laid out on the website (except that we did three, not two wine tastings -... More

My husband and I are trail riders back here in the States but decided to go for it in Queenstown by going on a heli-bike trip. We have never been on a helicopter either and we had a blast. First I must say that Mark our guide was outstanding. We are not the fastest bikers and Mark stayed with us... More

I want to give a huge shout out to Greg and Mark for the mountain biking tour. I went for two days, the second one being a heli biking tour. It was the most amazing two days of my trip to New Zealand. They are incredible guides, making sure you get enough scenery, single-track and guidance. They really cater to... More

My mate and I are avid mtb riders from SA and heard about Fat Tyre's Heli biking. I can highly recommend it as a brilliant adventure for bikers. Greg and Mark were highly professional guides, the terrain and views were spectacular and what really impressed me is the rental bikes ran sweet as a dream - a challenge for anyone... More
