Off Road and 4WD adventures for all ages! Open 7 days - wet or fine - the wetter the better! Set amidst a backdrop of lush West Coast rainforest near Greymouth, brace yourself for the New Zealand Off Road adventure of a lifetime with On Yer Bike!

On Yer Bike Adventures is now home to the Hagglund -This is the most extreme way to get off-road on the wild West Coast, no 4x4 can match it! You stay clean and dry while the Hagglund gets down and dirty, journeying through our famous mud and creeks, deep into the heart of the native rainforest. A great fun Adventure for the whole family.

The Experience

At On Yer Bike! our tracks are a magical mix of mud, water and narrow, winding trails. You'll enjoy the thrill of navigating one of our 4WD motorbikes across rivers, through copious amounts of our famous mud and through puddles that resemble small lakes!

After some sound advice and guidance from your tour guide, you're off on your own quad bike to tackle the puddles, hills and rainforest tracks. Our expert guides will lead the way, stopping at various points, so you can explore this enchanted place deep in the forest.

On Yer Bike! is an awesome family adventure, and has something for everyone in the family. Children (from the age of 12) and adults can operate our Quad Bikes, we also have 2-seater Go-Karts and kids love racing about on our Mini Bikes (6 years and over).

Anyone can be a passenger in our awesome 6-seater 8WD Amphibious Argo or why not go for a ride in the Hagglund (seats 15 passengers). The incredible all terrain ability of these machines will give you an off-road experience unlike any other. Fun for the whole family!
