HIGHCOUNTRY4X4
Otago’s settled history spans over two hundred years and provides many trails following the old stock or gold-rush routes.

These tours allow adventurers access to old gold mines, rippling tussock grasslands and sub-alpine vistas. All the while, the rocks and tors provide a fantastic backdrop in this still unique area.

We can arrange a tour option to suit you.

With access available in the Cairnmuir Ranges, Tarras and Lindis areas, Poolburn ‘Lord of the Rings’ area, Dunstan Range and Bendigo as well as many other places in Central Otago, you can be sure of somewhere new (or old) and exciting to go.
