Matariki 4x4 Adventure – Overnight Camp or Day Trip!
June 20–21 | Harper River / Avoca Track
Celebrate the Māori New Year with an epic girls-driven getaway into the mountains!
Whether you're in for a day of adventure or keen to camp overnight under the stars, this trip has something for every 4x4 woman out there.
What’s happening?
We’re heading into the stunning Harper River area, tackling the scenic Avoca Track and finishing up at Basin's Hut or Old Basin's Hut. You’ll experience everything from rivers and valleys to good yarns and maybe even a shared hot cuppa at the hut.
Overnight Option:
Two huts are available — the newer Basin's Hut and the more rugged Old Basin's Hut. Stay the night with the crew or just cruise in for the day and make your way home in the same day — your adventure, your call.
There is plenty of room to camp or park with the rooftop tent if that is your jam as well!
Meeting Point: Harper Road Campsite (we’ll convoy in from there)
Rig Requirements:
This trip includes river crossings and some rocky sections, so please make sure your vehicle is up for the challenge. You'll need:
• Rated recovery points
• Snorkel
• UHF radio
• All-terrain or mud tyres
(Note: large boulders may be present on this route)
• General 4WD capability for river crossings and off-road conditions
Staying the Night?
If you're camping overnight:
• Bring dinner, breakfast, and plenty of snacks
• Warm sleeping gear and layered clothing are essential – it gets very cold nestled in the mountain valley
• The huts are first-come, first-served – there's no booking system
➤ Be prepared to tent camp if the huts are full
Who’s this for?
All women who love 4WDs, nature, connection, and good vibes — whether you're seasoned or just getting into it.
