If you don’t have a 4WD and would like to do one of our tours then High Country Journeys can arrange to take you as a passenger in one of their own vehicles. Likewise if you have other ideas or limited time at your disposal, contact us and we will put together a suggested itinerary that’ll allow you to realise your expectations and get the most out of your 4WD experience. We also cater for corporate and family groups. We can put together two and three-day plus packages for clients including a ‘team building’ stay in a back country hut.
These tours are normally run within our defined season (Dec to April) and are fully catered. Contact us for prices and more details
