Sometimes, a tour really does offer an experience unlike nearly any other. Calling all adventurers aboard a rainforest tour on a Military Hagglund, a juggernaut, all-terrain carrier originally designed to travel through snow and bogs of northern Sweden. Take a roughly 3.1 mile (5-kilometer) trip through mud, creeks, and other obstacles. Opt for a pickup and drop-off—on a regular vehicle—from your hotel in Greymouth.

Get behind the wheel of a powerful four wheel drive buggy and head deep into the New Zealand back-country on this unique West Coast experience.

No license or experience is required: training is provided so every driver knows how to handle these exhilarating vehicles.

Get off road in Greymouth with this buggy tour through the forest. You don’t need a license, just a dash of adventure. This is a great all ages activity: to drive the all terrain vehicle, you need to be sixteen or older, but younger people can sit in the passenger seat. A guide will take you through magical forest, and you can access areas that would be impossible in an ordinary vehicle.

Try a challenging track on this muddy adventure. Get out of Greymouth and into the grit of the wilderness, on a buggy or a quad bike. Embrace tight corners, pot holes, and gnarly uphill slogs. The sense of accomplishment and the thrill of speed makes for a memorable back-country experience. Enjoy taking control of your own vehicle in a wild part of the West Coast.

While in Greymouth, take your South Island adventure off-roading on a 4-wheeler. Leave the navigation up to a guide as you traverse mud, puddles, and hills along privately owned farm and rain forest tracks. This small-group ATV adventure covers roughly 5 miles (8 km) with a maximum of 15 people.
