This is a guided self-drive experience: you drive, the guide leads at a safe pace. After arriving at our base, you receive a safety briefing and driving instructions, and we provide all protective equipment. The route quickly leaves paved roads and follows dirt tracks, forest roads and rocky paths. Along the way, you make frequent stops at scenic points and places of interest.

Depending on conditions, the route may include small creek or river crossings, historic stone features and panoramic viewpoints. The tour finishes by looping back to the starting point. The focus is on scenery, exploration and safe off-road driving, not speed, making it suitable for beginners.
