Strapped into your seat with helmet and protective gear on, brace yourself for the power and brute force of an all-terrain monster 4X4 truck. No roof, no doors – there’s nothing between you and great outdoors. Your professional driver will tackle local terrain in the 4X4 monster jeep with custom built chassis and suspension. The V6 Holden engine will propel you through our private native bush using all of its front & rear steering abilities

OMG OMG, was white knuckles, but soooo good
Hi, thanks for the 5 star review of our Monster 4X4 Thrill Ride! She is a bit of a white knuckle rollercoaster ride! hope you get a chance to come back and try it when its raining... ;-)
It was so cool, staff were lovely, went for about 10mins, well worth it. Good signage to get there..
Hi Thanks for the amazing review! we are stoked you had a blast with us at Off Road NZ :-)
This experience should have taken 10 mins, but it only took us 7 mins ,maybe because we were the last group
Thank you for your feedback Evonne and I do apologise if your ride was completed in 7 minutes rather than the 10 minutes it should be. If you could please email drive@offroadnz.co.nz I will check this out with our guides and reply directly to you. Much appreciation. Ian
Jason was my driver and he was great. Explain everything to me and made me feel comfortable. 10 out of 10
Hi Rachel, thank you for your great review and I will pass on your comments to our Monster Driver :). Happy New Year! Carol
I highly recommend this experience! It's was an absolute blast! Will do it again. The driver was very skilled and down to earth.
Not even the rain could dampen our fun and sense of adventure. The staff were very informative and thorough with an awesome sense of humour as they briefed us on safety procedures in both the 4WD and the Go Carts. Everybody had absolute fun with this activity, and I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't done this, to definitely give it a go.
Thank you very much for your awesome review and we really appreciate you visiting us. We hope to see you again in the future. Regards Treena
Im 52 and the thought of Monster 4x4 scared me, but gosh I'm glad I did it. So fun and nice to be able to scream a lot. haha. Thanks guys. Hospitality 5* Hayley from Nice. France
Hi Hayley, soo great to have you visit us all the way from France! Really glad you got out there and screamed our drivers ear off! Thank you for coming, kind regards, Toni
The kids (14, 12, 9, 6) loved this ride in light rain- the wetter and muddier the better! Best parts were in the bush, roller coaster and widow maker. They provided helpful wet weather gear. Could have been exceptional value but was just too short at about 10 minutes max. Few customers the day we went so no queues.
Hi Cassie, many thanks for your great review and we appreciate you visiting Off Road NZ. Great to hear that the kids enjoyed their ride so much. We always aim to keep our prices as reasonable as possible while still meeting the rising costs of operating our business. Thank you once again. Ian (business owner)
So much fun! Would have loved for it to be a little longer, but it is what it is, we all had an amazing time. Driver was a laugh too.
Great to hear you enjoyed our Monster 4X4 Thrill Ride, the Drivers definitely add to the experience! For a longer 4WD experience we would recommend our 4WD Bush Safari which is a self-drive adventure lasting 45 minutes to an hour. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Kind regards, Toni.
