Fat Tyre Adventures will show you the best mountain biking on some of the most scenic trails in New Zealand’s South Island. We’re about mountain biking for mountain bikers. We specialise in exhilarating heli-bike rides , epic day trips and multi-day mountain bike tours that will leave you salivating for more. With an unbeatable range of local terrain, Fat Tyre can offer you single track, all mountain, cross country and free-ride Mountain biking trails. Because we are totally flexible, we can tailor the rides and tours to suit you (and the weather)

Fat Tyre Adventures burst into existence in 2001 when owner/operator Greg McIntyre could no longer contain his passion for mountain biking and moved to Queenstown to set up his new company. For years he ran the company solo but is now joined by his partner Ange van der Laan.

Together we are working to make Fat Tyre Adventures a company that delivers an unforgettable ride experience for our customers. Our ultimate objective is to offer our riders the best ride they’ve ever had! Big call we know, but we’ve had plenty of customers who’ve told us just that.

We also want to operate in the best and most responsible way we can, for our environment, local and global, while still maintaining a thriving business. To that end, as a company we have committed to operating in a way that reduces our footprint as much as possible.

Take nothing, leave nothing
We recognise that most of our riders have travelled to Queenstown for its outstanding natural beauty and we therefore promote a “take nothing but photos, leave nothing but tyre tracks” philosophy. Our guides collect all rubbish and carry cellulose bags to prevent riders fouling conservation estate.
