This experience should have taken 10 mins, but it only took us 7 mins ,maybe because we were the last group

Response from Host, Apr 2026

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

This was so much fun! Our driver was very skillful and loved to tease us with his professional driving. This is a great stress reliever as it is such an adrenalin run! Recommended for those who love a little adventure but don't want to drive.
