Want to get off-road? Tourists can enjoy a guided tour of a working New Zealand beef, sheep and forestry farm in our four wheel drive vehicles. New Zealanders who want a change of pace and scenery from the city life can enjoy the same, or maybe you have a 4WD vehicle yourself that could do with some dirt on the tyres? Bring it out and we'll take you on a trip around and let you see what it can do!

Experience New Zealand up close and personal in a guided tour of Oskat Forest Park. Our rugged four wheel drive Jeep, or, for larger groups, Toyota Hiace, will take you safely through fields, canyons and forests to visit historical Maori pa sites, logging sites, waterfalls and hay barns. Enjoy a rest at the rustic Kaituna River Hut, followed by photo opportunities alongside friendly sheep and cattle.

Your host Owen has an in depth knowledge of New Zealand farming and forestry and local history, and will happily share many stories about life in New Zealand and answer any questions. Owen actively runs the farm, and can show you not only the classic New Zealand farm animals with breeds such as Coopworth, Romney and East Fresian sheep and Angus, Hereford and Fresian cattle, but he has kiwifruit and avocado orchards, over 100 acres planted in Radiata pines, Eucalyptus, Lucitanica and Australian Blackwood, and a portable timber mill - all of which he can show and educate you on. Sheep shearing and chainsaw demonstrations can be arranged. If you're pressed for time, this is the best way to see a large slice of New Zealand in a relatively short time.

A lot of Kiwis have 4WD vehicles and never get a chance to go off-road. Well, here's your opportunity! We have over 20kms of maintained tracks that can test driver and machine. We will give your vehicle a safety check for our and your peace of mind, ensure the driver is prepped for the tracks ahead, ask you to sign an idemnity form, and then we will set off ahead of you in our own rugged off-road Jeep to show you the way!
