Overview
There’s much more to see in the South Island than what you can get to on the State Highways. This exciting off-road adventure gives you the chance to experience some of what this dramatic landscape has to offer. Drive around the Mackenzie Country for half a day and get exclusive access to back-country stations. Take in dramatic views of landmarks like Lake Pukaki, Mount Tasman and Aoraki Mount Cook, and learn about life on New Zealand’s high-country farming stations from your guide.
- No stopping at the road: drive over the hills in a rowdy four wheel drive jeep
- Stop at a Mackenzie Basin farm and make friends with sheep, horses and other animals
- A family excursion: children aged 5 to 15 can join for a discounted rate
- Half-day tours: choose between a brisk morning tour or a sunny afternoon tour

It was very nice. Attached photos will speak better. Ben was nice. Only one request, more getting down from vehicles for photos opp will be more satisfying.

If you’re looking for a laid back ride through the red tusk fields outside Lake Tekapo this journey ride is for you. Guides were full of information about the area.

We had a great trip with Ben who was an excellent guide for the trip, very knowledgable and with a great sense of humour. The tour took the very beautiful Mackenzie high country with great views over Lake Pukaki and Mount Cook areas. Highly recommended trip.
