The Defender Experience Off-Road Adventure is your chance to explore the rugged beauty of Kosciuszko National Park, tackling off-road terrain in Australia’s breathtaking high country.

What To Expect

Your journey kicks off with a warm welcome from your expert guide before hopping into your privately booked Defender – that’s right, it’s all yours for the trip! From there, you’ll follow your guide deep into the heart of the Kosciuszko National Park, winding through remote trails, crossing rivers, soaking in mountain views, and perhaps most importantly, enjoying full control of the tunes!
