Experience Rotorua’s wild side on a guided 4WD buggy adventure through the native forests and rolling hills of Mount Ngongotahā. Travelling in a comfortable six-seater buggy driven by an experienced guide, this experience combines off-road excitement with some of the region’s most spectacular scenery.

After a short check-in and safety briefing, it’s time to climb aboard and head deep into the bush along historic forestry trails. Along the way, towering silver ferns, native birdlife, and rugged landscapes create an authentic New Zealand wilderness experience, while guides share fascinating stories of Rotorua’s history, Māori culture, and the legends surrounding the sacred Spirit Mountain.

The journey reaches its highlight at elevated lookouts overlooking Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island, and the surrounding countryside — a rewarding contrast to the thrill of the off-road tracks below. Blending adventure, culture, and unforgettable scenery, this is a memorable experience for families, groups, and anyone wanting to explore a different side of Rotorua.
