Jump on board one of our road buggies for an exciting outdoor adventure! With seating for up to two or four people and fitted with a roll cage for safety, our Polaris Ranger 500 and 570 buggies are perfect for couples or for families. The two-hour trip takes you through the scenic alpine backyard of Hanmer Springs.
Both want to drive? No problem – just switch over driving duties during the trip. Young children? Perfect – four year olds and older can be seated on board as a passenger while their parent or caregiver drives. Concerned about driving through unfamiliar terrain? No worries – you’ll be following our expert guide along a specially-designed track and will be trained on the buggy operation prior to the trip.
Join us for a guided off road buggy trip through farmland, creeks and the stunning scenery of the Waiau River Gorge for an action-packed trip you won’t forget – great fun for everyone!
