Question 12

Are there places we cannot go?

Accepted Answer

There are definitely areas that are either restricted by council or the Island Rangers, and there are also areas that we consider to be difficult for even the most experienced 4WD’ers. We have maps for self-guided trips that we suggest you utilise, to avoid these problematic locations.You will receive a "places not to go" document when your hire is confirmed.

Question 13

Can we drive during high tide?

Accepted Answer

Inland tracks – absolutely. There are some areas of the beach that may be accessible during high tide, but please keep in mind that the sand is likely to be very soft, and the tracks along the beach very narrow. There are a large number of beach sections that are impassable during high tide, so we recommend you travel beach tracks during mid to low tide only . You should not drive through the ocean under any circumstances.
