With seating for two and fitted with a roll cage for safety our Polaris Ranger 500 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.
