An amazing forest environment, stunning views of Muriwai Beach and the wild West Coast.

Well trained,  experienced staff and exciting  tracks and trails to navigate means this has proven to be a world class Auckland 4wd training venue.

Dealerships love to show off the capabilities of their vehicles so contact us now to book this off road training venue for your next event.

Modern vehicles have electronic traction control systems as well as stability control, hill descent control and in some cases centre diff lock, while others include front or rear diff lock.

The problem is drivers never get to experience how these systems work until they are in an emergency driving situation, they often hear the vehicle making strange noises as the traction systems start to work but don’t know what is happening, this can lead to panic and poor driver decisions.

Auckland Off Road Adventure Park's training area is the only off road training facility in the Auckland region to have a specially built driver training skills track. Conditions are controlled and repeatable so everyone in the training group experiences the same scenarios.

Learn how to drive your vehicle in typical off road situations and how your vehicle systems work in a controlled safe environment by booking a training course in this amazing venue.

From one on one 4x4 driver training for those who wish to know their own and their vehicle's capabilities better, this is a great opportunity to organise.

We also offer full team training days and can easily cope with up to 40 attendees.

Auckland Off Road Adventure Park's training area is the only purpose built  4WD, 4x4  training facility in the Auckland region.

Conditions are controlled and repeatable so everyone in the training group experiences the same off road training scenarios.

Learn how to drive your vehicle in typical off road situations and how your vehicle systems work in a controlled safe environment  dealing with the following off-road conditions:

· Driving side slopes. We have set side slopes of 20, 30 and 40 degrees, safely experience what your vehicle feels like at different side angles, especially important for service vehicles with different centres of gravity due to loading.

· Safe hill ascents and descents.

· A specially designed slope that will simulate your traction control systems working when you lose traction, learn how your vehicle reacts and how to drive safely when these systems operate, like driving on wet grass.

· Driving over uneven and rough ground of various types, sand, clay, gravel.

· Drive our log road.

· Pipe cross axle.

· Our ditch section cross axle, pick the correct line.

· Correct gear selection for manual and automatic transmissions.

· Tire selection and tire pressure for your vehicle and how it affects how you drive off-road.

· Basic vehicle recovery, winch training included if a winch is fitted to your vehicle.

 Then we put this into practice exploring some of the 100km of off road tracks within the Auckland Off Road Adventure Park trail system.
