Can-Am Half Day Experience

Experience Overview

*Drivers must have practical license and equivalent of full New Zealand drivers license/international license.

About this Experience

Your adventure begins on the valley floor, where you’ll meet your guides, get equipped and become familiar with your Can-Am Maverick X3. As your confidence develops, the route opens up. Follow working farm tracks into Robrosa Station’s high country, navigating changing terrain as new views come into sight. Our Half Day Experience is an exclusive charter for up to 10 guests. Eligible drivers can share time at the wheel, or you can settle into the passenger seat and enjoy the journey with your group. The route and pace respond to your group’s ability, the weather and station activity. Where conditions allow, the journey heads towards our “Mile High Club” viewpoint before returning to the valley.
Private access. Shared achievement.

Bring warm layers, fully covered outdoor footwear and clothing suitable for a farm and alpine environment. Higher ground can be considerably colder than the valley floor, even in summer.
