Rally Drive NZ

Reviewed By roadieboys - Auckland, New Zealand

Brilliantly run, fantastic adrenaline rush. From feeling confident, to quite apprehensive, to enjoying yourself at the edge of control and finishing off with an absolute stormed run with a pro, this experience takes you through a range of emotions! I've done a range of tarmac driving experiences over the years but the gravel is a whole new beast! Straight talking, clear communication, good sense of humour and full of yarns, Dale and the team really love what they do and it shows. Give it a hoon, you will love it!

Amazing afternoon ride with Wayne and the team. Epic scenery and great hosts. The horses were in great condition and well behaved. We stayed at one of the cabins on site as well and it was awesome as well. Such a magic spot. Highly recommended!
