Tag-along touring — drive your own vehicle
Our tag-along 4WD tours combine adventure with education. Drive your own vehicle on iconic Australian tracks while receiving professional instruction and the security of full support.
You drive your own four-wheel drive. I lead the convoy, teach as we go, and carry the recovery gear, communications and first aid response for the whole group. You get the pride of driving every metre yourself — and the security of a professional watching your line, your tyre pressures and the weather ahead.
Every trip is a rolling course: terrain reading, wheel placement, recovery technique, vehicle preservation. Taught by a nationally accredited 4WD trainer, not just an enthusiast.
Lead vehicle with recovery equipment, UHF and satellite communications, first aid, and a planned route with fallback options. Pre-trip vehicle checks and briefing included.
Trips are graded honestly. If your vehicle or experience isn't ready for a track, I'll tell you before you book, not halfway up it.
First tours are being planned now. Register your interest and you'll get first pick of dates and destinations — south-east Queensland weekenders first, longer iconic-track trips to follow.
Numbered days, not fixed dates — every trip is planned with its group. Paid delivery starts with the skills weekend; the tag-along tours open as the group, the season and the permits line up. Start close to home, finish at the Tip.
