4WD Bush Safari at Off Road NZ
Description
The ultimate 4WD adventure that puts you in control. Buckle up and take on an off-road adventure deep into native New Zealand forest. Back in the early 1900's the area Off Road NZ is set on, was used by logging pioneers who logged our native timbers until closing up in the 1970's. The tracks that the pioneers used back then are the same tracks that you will be diving on today. This is an unforgettable self-drive 4WD adventure using high-performance 4WD Suzuki Jimny's with automatic transmission and power steering. From 45 minutes to 1 hour this experience is suitable for the whole family, with children under 5 going free! No previous 4WD experience necessary, drivers require a valid driver's license.

Get ready to have fun in the mud smashing through body's of water. Really gets the adrenaline pumping.
Sounds like you all had great fun. Thanks for the 5* review Dusty 😊
Awesome experience for my son and I. Couldn't stop talking about it at home. The instructor was very friendly and helpful throughout.Really recommend this to all ages. A great morning thank you
Hi Dusty, thank you for choosing Off Road NZ for your adventures and we're so pleased that you all had such a great time. Hopefully we will see you another day. Ian
The track itself is exciting. However, 2 among 3 of us have driver's license. We have paid full cost for 3 pax but we had only 1 vehicle so we have to swap several times. We expected 2 vehicles so now it feels like we got charged 50% more for 2 of us as the experience was cut half.
Good morning, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our 4WD Bush Safari tracks but sorry to hear that you would have preferred 2 vehicles between the 3 of you. This is normally something that we normally offer if the holders of the drivers licences comply with New Zealand road rules. If this is the case, I do apologise for the mix up and please contact us directly on (07) 3325 748 or drive@offroadnz.co.nz Much appreciation. Kat
A lot of fun!!! A little bit hesitated about the safety but as long as you follow all the instructions of the guide/s and you’ll be sweet! Great staff from front desk to the guides. The guys has good sense of humour too!!!
Hi Cristy, thanks for the awesome 5 star review! you nailed it in that listening to our guides means you'll be safe while having a heap of fun with us :-) we enjoyed hosting you and the family and hope to see you again in the future!
Fun but expensive for what is is. We went as a couple and both people pay full price to drive 1 Jimmy. Subsequent riders should be cheaper if only taking one car.
Hi Holly, I am glad that had fun on our 4WD Bush Safari. We have always charged per person on this adventure and as advertised it is based on between 2 - 4 guests in each vehicle. Some guests choose to pay an extra $50.00pp to have their own vehicle (due to double the operating vehicle costs for us) but we always recommend 2 or more per vehicle as we believe it is much more fun this way. Much appreciation. Ian
It was amazing and such a thrilling adventure. Lots of thrilled obstacles. The entire family enjoyed it including my 5 and 10 year-old children.
Hi! thank you for the amazing review, we are so glad your family had a great time with us and hopefully we might see you back again soon! :-)
We had a great time taking part in this fun experience driving a Suzuki Jimny 4WD around a well laid out circuit. It was not for the faint hearted. One of the obstacles was called The Luge and you slide down a metal ramp at an angle of 80 degrees. The water holes were a nice touch and if you have never been off road before it is a great start, as the cars handle the course with ease and our guide Levi kept in constant communication over the CB radio. Highly recommended tour and only 20 minutes from Rotorua.
Thank you so much for visiting Off Road NZ and we are so pleased to hear that you really enjoyed your 4WD Bush Safari. I hope that you can visit us another time. Safe travels. Ian
Amazing experience, Thrilling rides and one of the best activities to do with family. Will be doing again for sure.
Hi! thank you for such a great review, so glad you had a blast with the family! see you next time ;-)
This is the third time we have done this tour which shows you just how much we enjoyed it & will certainly do it again one day. Highly recommended. Thanks to everyone who made the experience such a success.
Thank you for the amazing review! We love that you keep coming back for some fun and adventure and we look forward to your next visit ;-)
WOW!!! What an adrenaline rush! I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and this experience did not disappoint. From the moment we hopped in, that drive had my heart racing I just wanted to turn around and do it all over again! Our guide was an absolute legend super clear with instructions and kept us feeling safe but so ready for the thrill. Yes, I was terrified at first…but the second we got going? Pure excitement! We were laughing, screaming, and loving every second. 100% doing this again when we’re back, already counting down! 💥🤩
Hi Deobrah Thank you for the amazing review! we are so pleasedb to hear you had an absolute blast! We can't wait to see you again when you want your next adrenaline dose! :-)
