4x4 Self-Drive
The Ultimate Off-Road Experience

Use our Toyota Landcruizer (manual) or bring your own to learn how to tackle a range of 4x4 scenarios. Find yourself fording through rivers, tackling steep descents, bouncing through our famous ‘axle twister’, climbing the ‘staircase’ and manoeuvring uneven terrain to boost your confidence with your vehicle and driving.

The self-drive utilises our world-class 4x4 proving ground and training track. It was professionally designed alongside Toyota New Zealand to be a top-class facility.
Examples of challenges you can take advantage of are steep descents/ ascents, slippery slopes & hills, uneven terrain, river-crossings, 'double humps', our famous 'axle twister', and the 'staircase'.
If you are feeling nervous that is okay your instructor will guide you every step of the way and will work at your pace with plenty of encouragement along the way!
