NZ Adventures’ 4x4 Tours
NZ Adventures is a long established business offering a variety of selfdrive back country tours throughout the South Island.
NZ Adventures’ tours have again proven very popular for the 2018/ 19 season which is of course very gratifying for the owner operators of the business, Robbie and Connie Crickett of Invercargill.
For Robbie the upcoming season marks 20 years of guiding motor vehicle tours along the tracks of the stations, forests and conservation parks of the south and it’ s a role he really enjoys mainly because of the response of tour participants as they are guided along.
The company currently offers five different tours:
High Country Heritage.
Either six or seven days ( seven in March) down the eastern side of the Southern Alps from Blenheim to Cardrona with overnights along the way in Hanmer Springs, Methven, Fairlie, Omarama and Cromwell. Included is 1250 km of some of the best scenery New Zealand has to offer. And like the other tours this is from vantage points far beyond and often well above the main tourist routes.
West Coast Explorer. Five days to the north of the west. Hanmer Springs to Greymouth by the back tracks. Golden tussocks to deep green rainforests and plenty of history and challenges in between.
46 South. Follow an imaginary line across the Far South from the Catlins to Fiordland and into Central Otago. Large sheep and cattle stations and even larger mountains and views that stretch out forever across the greenest of green and the bluest of blue.
Big Sky. Six days on a very large loop from South Canterbury into Central Otago and back into Canterbury. Travel the tracks that only the locals know about. A rare opportunity to see the real of New Zealand. Close to the tourist hotspots but really very far away.
Eastern Explorer. Drive the Eastern foothills of South Canterbury and Otago through regions such as the Hakataramea, Oteake, Strath Taieri, Waipori Gorge, Te Papanui and the Lammermoors and Rough
Ridge. Discover the Blue and the Gold of Otago.
NZ Adventures will set their dates for the 2020 season in February 2019.
