Amazing

Published on Jan, 2025

My partner and I decided to last minute book this experience. Little did we know it was going to be the best fun! Both Scott and Stefan were great tour guides, showing us what wonderful views Queenstown has to offer and sharing the rich history behind its flora and fauna. Felt super safe and comfortable driving the buggy too with their pre training. Would do this again and again

Great fun. Well priced. A gem.

Brilliant time. From the get go the customer experience was great, lovely guys at the shop in town and was fortunate to have Dennis as our guide. My inner revhead loved it all, as did our tweenagers. Not too intimidating for a first time buggy novice. Views were staggering and the explanation of the history of the region by Dennis and his love for it all was great. Next time I'd do it again or one of their other longer tours. Thanks team for a cracking time!

What a wonderful day with Scott while we joined the self-drive 4WD Buggy in Queenstown. Awesome experience guided by his professional techniques, I’d love to share the buggy is easy to handle. We feel safe, comfortable and of cause excited in the whole journey. If you visit Queenstown and looking for some excited activity, I highly recommend you to join with the Off Road Adventures team. Thank you again to offering us a private tour and the nice pic.

Great Fun
