Experience an exhilarating, fun, action-packed 2hr quad biking adventure with NZ Quad Bike Adventures. Enjoying breathtaking views of Mercury Bay, you will be given some fantastic photo opportunities, so make sure you bring along your camera. You do not need a driver's licence and no experience is necessary as we will take you through a simple lesson on riding the bikes prior to your ride. We will take you over the hills and ridges of the 630ha Ohuka Farm climbing to 250m above sea level where you will not only see some spectacular scenic views but you will encounter a variety of tracks from dense bush to open farmland and large steep up-hills to quick and twisting down-hills. Safety is our paramount concern - our guides are on the rides at all times, they are trained in first aid to NZ unit standards and always carry a first aid kit. We provide helmets; overalls and gumboots are available for hire if you prefer not to get dirty. Bookings are essential so contact us today to book your spot.

Blessed on the Coromandel Peninsula with arguably the best diving in NZ, from shore, boat or kayak. There is always good diving conditions, prolific fish life and endless dive sites for the beginner and the advanced. With this and all the other natural wonders in and around Mercury Bay, we believe it to be the best location in New Zealand to come to dive and to learn to dive. Let us show you our world!

"We purchased the hour pass ($35 each for an hour), and went just before sunset so we could see it at day and night. I must say the place is much more magical at night. It was a very romantic and relaxing experience, and was very tranquil.
The price is very high, so would recommend for a special occ..."asion.

"My friend took me there just before he asked me to marry him. Need I say more. It was sooo romantic. I felt like I had stepped out of NZ and into an Island Resort. Nah, it was better than that.
So beautiful at dusk. I don't think we should say too much, as the surprise is all part of it.
I think..." it is expensive but I think it is great for special occasions. Like those romantic proposals etc.. I thought the signage outside could have been easier to see. Then again, it's good when too many people aren't there. Maybe the sign is better left this way.
