First time doing the 4x4... - First time doing the 4x4 here, was enjoyable, nothing advanced or too difficult, if you are looking for fast or high speed this is not the place for you. Some steep drops and water crossings.

Best thrill in Rotorua! Definitely go! - What a fantastic experience! We did the 4x4 bush safari first. The guide was fantastic, providing detailed instructions to give driver confidence as you navigate challenging terrain. Great fun! Highly recommend. We then did the 4x4 experience with the professional driver who clearly enjoyed showing just what he can do. This was exhilarating and sooo much fun! It's a must! You experience all the climbs and drops you just did as a driver on the 4x4 safari, but at speed and with drifts which is absolutely thrilling for the whole family. We will be doing this one every time we visit Rotorua. The wet weather made the mud slides even more fun, and we were fully kitted out with wet weather gear. Best wet weather activity we've ever done. Don't hesitate to book!

A must in Rotorua - I bought this package of 4WD Bush Safari and the Monster truck trip for my son's 21st birthday. It was a most amazing day and the staff were amazing and supportive in allowing me to take pictures of the Bush Safari, although the exhilarating nature of the Monster truck meant the hands were holding on. My son loved the experience and was buzzing after. A must do if in Rotorua, even if you think it is not your thing. There were a group of ladies on the safari in different trucks with us and they screamed with joy on some of the exhilarating parts but said it was not normally their thing.

Far from tame - Far from tame, we had an incredible time, very exhilarating. Amazing what these cars can do. An excellent guide took us through. We did the self-drive first and then the extreme 4WD second.

A wild ride - Our guide, Cody explained each obstacle and then stood back as we drove through them. It was a great thrill. Especially the “Luge”. Well worth the time. After we had a wild romp in a Monster 4x4 behind an expert driver through truly rough and beautiful terrain. I highly recommend

Freak of nature - We arrived an hour early but it wasn't an issue. Went on monster truck first, got kitted out in helmets and wet gear as it was raining...it was fantastic fun, then on to driving a 4x4 over the terrain. Hubby did the driving as it was his birthday treat......omg...what fun.....hubby grinning from ear to ear.....me not so much at the luge lol.......wished we hadn't been the last car as we missed opportunities to see others doing the thrill drops

Family Fun - Desperate for a day out, this was a perfect family afternoon activity. Conquered the self drive track then thrilled on the monster 4x4 ride. We are still talking about it and recommending to everyone!

Be prepared for the ringer - Cool experience on the Jimny’s, just the Ali’s drop is a bit rough. The monter truck driver is so good, but the hard plastic seats make the ride uncomfortable. Everyone was very nice.
