Today, you're headed out into Nelson's great outdoors by van or coach. Watch for the harbor and Nelson's long, protective boulder bank, which acts as a natural breakwater.
At Cable Bay, you'll gear up with a helmet and a 4x4 ATV (all-terrain vehicle) and set out on a fun mix of 4x4 roads and trails. The Bayview quad-bike circuit offers nine miles of native forest trails. You'll be riding your own quad bike under the guidance of the Adventure Park staff. Cross areas of farmland take in coastal views of Delaware Bay and the wider Nelson area. You'll stop for photos at the longest flying-fox ride (zip-line) in the world before continuing to the Bayview Lookout with vistas from Delaware Bay to d'Urville Island.
Enjoy light refreshments before heading back to the base.
