Drive your own adventure buggy and explore the rugged rainforest trails of Franz Josef on an exhilarating off-road experience. Known as the region’s ultimate rainy-day adventure, this tour lives by the motto “The Wetter the Better!”—embrace the elements as you splash through puddles, power through muddy tracks and discover the rainforest in all its wild beauty.
After meeting your experienced guide, begin with a comprehensive safety briefing and a practice session on a dedicated test track to build your confidence before heading out. Even if you’ve never driven a buggy before, expert instruction makes it easy to get started. Then, venture onto purpose-built rainforest trails where every twist, turn and muddy crossing reveals spectacular scenery and exciting terrain, with all the equipment provided to help keep you warm and dry throughout the journey.
Combining thrilling off-road driving with the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand’s West Coast, this buggy adventure offers an unforgettable way to experience Franz Josef beyond the glacier. Rain or shine, every splash, climb, and forest trail creates lasting memories of one of the region’s most exciting outdoor adventures.
