"Let me show you "my" New Zealand" - Tour Guide Tony.

Experience the Ultimate High Country Tag Along Tour in New Zealand
Join us for the premier NZ High Country Adventure – a unique blend of rugged exploration and refined comfort. No other operator matches the quality of accommodation, meals and experiences we provide. This is the perfect tour for those who want real off-road thrills without giving up great food, warm showers, and a decent bed each night.

We’ve selected January, February and March for our tours, taking advantage of the South Island’s best weather conditions – ideal for exploring its breathtaking alpine landscapes.

Unforgettable Off-Road Adventure
Our tour delivers spectacular off-road driving each day, with plenty of opportunities to drop into Low Range on remote tracks – all the fun without being too intimidating!


Comfort and Food
You’ll enjoy 4 cooked breakfasts, 7 delicious picnic lunches "on the hill", 12 outstanding evening meals, and each night relax in comfortable high country farm stays, resorts, and hotels. All you need to do is get yourself to Christchurch – we’ll take care of everything else!

Your Expert Guide – Meet Tony
You’ll be accompanied throughout the tour by your qualified guide, Tony – a born-and-bred Kiwi with 12 years of tour guiding experience in remote Australia.

Tony brings a deep, personal connection to the South Island High Country, with an intimate understanding of its geography, geology, wildlife, and plant life. His passion for the region is infectious, and you’ll experience the landscape through the eyes of someone who has spent countless hours exploring its mountains and valleys.

He also holds a Tourism Degree and a Masters in Wildlife Management from Lincoln University, near Christchurch – so there’s plenty to learn along the way.

More Than Just a 4WD trip – Incredible Extras Included
While off-road driving is a big part of the adventure, this tour offers so much more. Included in the tour price are some unforgettable experiences: A 1-hour scenic flight over New Zealand’s highest mountains and largest glaciers (optional, weather dependent); a thrilling 2-hour jetboat ride through an awe-inspiring glacial river valley (optional, weather dependent); a stay at an exclusive high country property (no other 4WD groups have access here); and to top it all off – a final dinner at Queenstown’s Stratosfare Restaurant, high above the town via the Skyline Gondola, with stunning views over Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding peaks.


DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN VEHICLE IN NZ? If you have your own 4WD vehicle in NZ, you are welcome to join us (approved vehicles only). We will reduce the tour price accordingly (approx. AUD$2000).

PRIVATE TOUR OPTION: Get a group of up to 10 people together and we'll arrange your tour (prices vary depending on activities).

"Just returned from the first New Zealand tour with Aus 4x4 Treks and all I can say is Wow! This was a fantastic experience through some of the most amazing country I have ever seen, made all the better with Tony’s enthusiasm, organisational skills and 4wd knowledge. I must admit I was a bit nervous about taking a hire car into the bush but every track each day was researched, planned and executed with minimal fuss and no damage to any of the vehicles! The trip was made even better when you consider this is the backyard Tony grew up in so there was no question he couldn’t answer and his anecdotes & stories were genuine and well received by all. I can thoroughly recommend this trip and look forward to travelling with Tony again one day soon" - S. Close, Sydney (5-Star Google Review)

"Cliff & I thoroughly enjoyed our first group trek. It was exciting to discover the 'outback' of NZ's South Island. Tony was passionate, knowledgable and excellent in showing us areas we would never discover on our own. Narrow tracks around escarpments, a few water crossings, amazing views, an insight to the life on sheep & cattle stations with very comfortable accommodation ,very good meals, an amzing flight over Mt Cook and glaciers plus a Dart River Jet Boat. Highly recommend this as a comfortable, adventurous and superb way to enjoy NZ's South Island off the beaten tourist track." - Gina Raccanello, Australia

"Tony ran a really good trip. Very organised, great accommodation, excellent meals and a heap of 4 wheel driving in some pretty remote areas. My wife and I and the rest of the group had the best time. Thanks Tony. - Allan Waldon, Australia
