Photos from our 4WD tours

These are photos from actual NZ 4×4 Treks trips, not stock imagery. They cover the country our four wheel drive tours travel through: private high country stations, the Clarence and other snow fed rivers, alpine saddles, beech forest on the West Coast, and the camps and lunch stops in between.

If you want to know what a particular day looks like, the New Zealand itineraries describe each one, and the international tours cover the trips further afield.
