The Coronet XC trail is rated an intermediate grade 3, upper and lower Rude Rock trails are grade 4 while the Coronet DH trail is for the more experienced rated at expert grade 5.

We also utilise dedicated bike taxi shuttles today so you can really maximise your day, and include laps of the infamous Zoot Track via the Skippers Saddle and the new local favourite Hot Rod for more epic flowy single track right down to the valley floor.

Riding from Coronet Peak to Arrowtown via Bush Creek and finishing with a cold one is a great way to round of an epic day and can be done via the grade 6 Slip Saddle route or the grade 3 Coronet Face Water Race trail.

Awesome adventure!

17-Jan-2019

Awesome Adventure! Russ took us on an action filled, 10 day adventure on the south island. We were comfortably driven all over the country. Due to his thorough planning of of this package, every aspect of the trip including the best activities, food and lodging were lined up and the trip went flawlessly. Off road biking, hiking, white water rafting, jet boating, zip lining were just a few of the days adventures. He told us about the country and took us places that only the locals would know. Russ bent over backwards to accommodate everyone and make this the trip of a lifetime. I would not hesitate of recommend Adventure Junkies to all my friends.

My husband and I went to Queenstown, we have been several times before, but this time was an incredible experience, adventure junkies made our trip so easy, and much more fun as it was all organised, we did so many different things. Our tour guide Russ was awesome really neat guy, if we were going to go to Queenstown again i will be doing this again for sure.

Epic vacation!

01-Feb-2020

Epic vacation! Looking to partake in adventure activities with other rad people in the most spectacular of settings? Sign up for a tour with Adventure Junkies. The South Island is full of endless stunning lakes and mountains. With these as your backdrop, you can zip line, raft (class 5 rapids), hike, kayak, skydive, bungee jump, rock climb, jet boat and bike to your hearts content....... your stellar guide, is professional, accommodating and organized. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe at all times. All accommodations were clean and comfortable...... one even had an outdoor hot tub. Russ brought us to charming spots for delicious breakfasts and lunches and always had recommendations for great places to grab post activity beers or dinner...... I was heartbroken to say goodbye to NZ and will definitely be returning for another Adventure Junkies tour, regardless of the fact that it is completely across the world from my home.

Wow. Don’t miss these guys for a brilliant experience.

31-Oct-2018

Wow. Don’t miss these guys for a brilliant experience. I’ve travelled around the globe, last count about 35 countries and I have never had a more dedicated guide and service provider or a greater quality of service anywhere. Russ is the best! Amazing experiences, brilliant fun and a fantastic balance between casual and funny raconteur and professional guide. I bet you could do any of the experiences he provides and it would be magnificent. I did Routeburn canyoning, Rangitata rafting, multiple hikes, zip lining, etc all fantastic. Even time between gigs was fun. Great accommodations and wonderful attention to all the details with flexibility when needed. Hats off to you Russ. You Rock!
