The same paths used by those early pioneers are the ones you’ll be navigating today.

Great way to try 4wd - Great experience! Some genuinely novel and interesting driving situations that you’ll likely only be able to do here! Staff was super accommodating when we had GPS issues getting there. Very friendly and well informed. My 10 year old loved being a passenger.

Best Activity in Rotorua Region! - Self-drive of their 4 wheel dive vehicles though off road tracks and water hazards was the best activity we did in Rotorua. Particularly awesome was the 6metre vertical drop. My partner and I were able to take turns at driving. Oud guide Dom was real friendly and helpful too.

Awesome adrenaline rush - Great wet day activity you stay completely dry. Our guide was awesome. And it was just what we needed after spending a week in the rain. We looked online first and there were no options coming up on that same day. but thought we’d ring anyway and there were loads of options. so definitely ring if you’re looking at going the same day in case. There was a lot of squealing from our 2 daughters, but they loved it overall.

The visitors in their... - The visitors in their Jeeps are getting guided by guys who walk around and tell via DB Radio what to do, that slows the speed down enormously. All in all the circuit is nice and we‘ve had fun at a few steps.
