2011 SOUTH ISLAND HIGH COUNTRY 4x4 SAFARIS

Discover the hidden secrets of New Zealand's high country on an all inclusive low impact High Country tour by 4WD vehicle. Visit and travel through some of New Zealand's greatest High Country Stations and iconic landscapes. NZ Adventures are offering five unique South Island 4x4 Safaris.

4 x 4 Safaris for 2011

Choose from our established favourites, the six day High Country Heritage, five day West Coast Heritage, five day Southern Lakes Explorer or the five day McKenzie Country Explorer. All are unique, fully guided experiences for the discerning traveller and include good hotel/ lodge style accommodation and quality meals.

NZ Adventures has by far the largest off-road vehicle access resource in New Zealand. We travel through many private and Conservation areas many restricted to vehicles. No bush bash, our routes are chosen for their scenic, cultural and historic values. Most of our Safaris are suitable for those without off-road experience.

Our qualified guides are all enthusiastic about NZ's back country, its people and heritage, they genuinely enjoy taking you further into this remote and secret world than you ever imagined possible and will give advice and tips on off-road driving as you wish.

What's New?

St James Station. Just before Christmas 2008 the government announced the purchase of St James Station from the Stevenson family. This acquisition allows us opportunities to access this property which we have never done before.

In September this year Malcolm met with the DoC area manager, did a flyover of part of the property and out to the Waiau River on a second track by 4WD. NZ Adventures is currently applying for a concession which will allow us access to this new Conservation Park.

St James Station offers stunning mountain scenery opportunities in valleys that have not previously been open to the public. The land is not due to be de-stocked until July 2010 and we are hoping that we will be able to offer tours across this property after that date as part of our West Coast Heritage tour and also offer shorter tours which will encompass this and part of Molesworth Station. We will be offering these tours from October to May each year.

These tours will also offer the opportunity for the chauffeur option to allow for those who do not have or want to drive their own vehicle. If you would like to know more about this or be kept updated on developments just contact us for more information.
