Adventure Playground 4x4 Self Drive / Claybird Shooting

Imagine being able to travel over 750 acres of native bush taking in the spectacular views over Lake Rotorua and beyond. Our Rotorua Adventure Playground trails are made from old forestry tracks dating back to the 1930s. Winding between totara, rewarewa and tawa trees, the native trees cast long shadows all along the trails. You can ride at pace on our new 4×4 self drive buggies, followed by some fun with a gun claybird shooting. Our Rotorua Adventure Playground is the place to be. All activities take in the spectacular scenery overlooking Lake Rotorua and our beautiful native bush set on Mount Ngongotaha.

We pride ourselves for putting safety first, and then fun, fun, fun and more fun! We love what we do and we know you will too…
