​Q: I've never ridden a quad bike before, will I be able to ride yours?

​Of course you will! We train all of our customers whether they've never ridden before or they've ridden a thousand times. Provided you comply with our instructions, our Quad Bikes are extremely easy to use and control – being the perfect size and semi-automatic, any one 16 yrs or older can ride them comfortably. Before heading out on your Quad Bike King adventure we ensure you are familiar with the controls and will have a safe and enjoyable adventure.

​This will never be an issue! Our highly experienced Tour Guides tailor the adventure to suit your confidence level. We always have the highest Tour Guide to Customer ratio so we can cater for the most diverse groups of people. This is the very reason why we have such a high customer satisfaction percentage – because every customer is treated as an individual.

​Children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult

​Q: Do we need a guide or can we just go alone?

​The Tour covers roughly 20km of terrain. If you do not know the area, or the way then you most certainly will be injured or lost. We cannot allow either to happen.

​Q: Where does Safari Tour go?

​Safari Tour departs our base camp on the sand. The guide will sort the group as not everyone wants to keep up to the fast pace, others prefer to take it slow and take in the scenery or just want to stay as a family. You choose! From base you travel through the dunes, along the beach, and over high sand dunes. You will see the Newcastle shipping highway and you may see a massive coal ship coming into port. Take in Nobby's in the distance, honing your skills on the guided Tour. After riding for roughly 30 minutes you will stop at the beachfront for a short time where you ask the guides about the area, plus take some photos. From there you will travel back following the guide on a more intense ride back to base camp.

​Q: Do I need to book?

It is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. Whilst we do accept walk-ins and will endeavour to get you on your adventure, sometimes we are fully booked, so please try to book beforehand. When booking we do require a VISA/MASTERCARD payment to secure your booking.

​Q: Can I use my own motorbike or quad?

Sorry guys, but no! Our bikes are specially registered and adjusted to ride on the sand. To ride on Stockton Bight all bikes must be registered, have permits and be built to withstand the harsh environments. Let us take the hassle (and the cost) out of the adventure for you.  However, if you do have a quad bike or motorbike you can register it with the RTA and get a permit if you love riding out here on the RVA as much as we do!

​Q: Late arrival policy

Please, please, please arrive on time! Quad Bike King requires all riders arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their ride time. Now whilst this may sound excessive it allows for the few extra red lights or congestion. We value safety on and off the road. We do run on a timed schedule and it isn't fair for our customers to wait past their ride time, they may have other activities planned. If you are running late we may have to accommodate you on a later ride. Please have all your affairs in order and call us if you are delayed on your journey. We cannot wait past our scheduled ride times.
