β€œWe had a fantastic family day out at Auckland Off Road Adventure Park. I drove my Ford Everest on all-terrain tyres and we spent about six hours exploring the park. There’s a great mix of sand, clay, and hills, which makes it a fun and varied place to drive. One of the highlights was stopping for lunch in the middle of nowhere. It really felt like a proper off-road adventure. I went in not really knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. You can get around most of the park without needing all the hardcore 4x4 gear, which makes it a great place to get started in off-roading while still being enjoyable for more experienced drivers. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great family day out and an introduction to 4x4 driving.”

β€œAn awesome place! So great for newbies (like me) and seasoned off roaders alike. A mix of easy and hard tracks and help available if you get stuck. Cell coverage is a wee bit patchy so a map of where to get signal (if you don't have a radio and need help - again like me) would be useful. Great value for money and a great day out. Lights on, 4WD engaged and have fun.”

β€œHad a fantastic day learning the Offroad skills and technicalities of my new GWM Tank, all thanks to Roger who stayed calm throughout! Hours of high adrenaline, and yet both I and the 4WD came off unharmed :) . Will definitely be back for more!”

Overview

Set in Woodhill Forest north of Auckland, the park covers sand dunes, forested clay trails, water crossings and technical hill climbs. Tracks span beginner-friendly flats through to serious mud and hill terrain, so a standard 4WD on all-terrain tyres handles most of the park. Bring a radio to communicate with on-site staff who assist with recoveries. Staff from local off-road clubs are on hand and well-regarded by visitors. Free parking on site.
