About this activity
Head to the summit of Mount Ngongotaha on this 1.15 to 1.5 hour guided 4WD buggy adventure, travelling over 100 year old forestry trails.

Do not miss the 4 WD Buggy Adventure! Great! The whole evening was very interesting, a lot of atmosphere.
James and Calipso lead a wonderful buggy adventure. They were passionate about the history of the area which really brought the history to life. They also took the time to recommend additional sites that we should visit. We then had the Maori performance and dinner which was a do not miss. After the dinner there was a walk to the cold spring and a view of glow worms! Be sure to bring a warm coat. Both can be completed in one day easily but doesn't give you much time to wander.
