About this experience
New Zealand's premium guided self-drive buggy experience – you drive, we guide. After a quick training session, follow your guide through steep climbs, creek crossings and forest tracks in our private off-road park, just 5 minutes from Queenstown.
You will be surprised what these buggies can climb and conquer, even if it is your first time off-road. Enjoy hands-on driving, real capability, and stunning viewpoints over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu. At lookout stops, we will help you grab photos before you get back behind the wheel.
Return transfers from central Queenstown are included, and we provide all the gear you need, including helmets, eye protection, and gloves – just show up and enjoy the drive.
