4 x 4 Off Roading Experience
Although 4 x 4's are still cars, off roading requires different driving skills to a regular road car.  It takes much more skill and concentration to handle a 4 x 4, even more so when you consider the diverse terrain that the car has to cover from hills to slippery mud and almost every surface in the middle.  Because of this, an introductory driving lesson and safety briefing is included as part of the driving experience package.
Off roading is not for the faint-hearted.
