      Family Thrills
      The Highlands Taxi was a very unique family experience - we all loved it. The museum houses some automotive royalty and pleasant surprises racing nerds. The special toilets are lol.

      High powered
      Paul was such a great instructor and by the final lap I’d really gotten into the feel of it. This was something I booked on the day at the centre (it was quite) as I’d been discouraged from booking the experience online due to the min height requirement (165 cm I’m 152 cm). Happy I asked about it. The drive was such a buzz and I would love to do it again some time.

      Getting a "little" radical with the Radical
      Wow!! What a blast. Always a few nerves stepping into the unknown, but with Paul's guidance and encouragement I got to experience just a little of what he and his colleagues do for a living and it is certainly addictive and over too quickly. Definitely want to be back for more.

      U drive radical experience
      Had a fantastic time performing radial u drive. Instructor was great giving guidance to go faster safely around the track. Performance and handling of radical was excellent. Could brake so late and turn in was great. Fantastic drive. The highlands facility is excellent. Would love to do the full track in the future. Enjoyed the funny loo. Recommend highlands to anyone interested in motorsport.

      Such a fun experience!
      Highly recommend this experience! We took the kids (6 & 7 years old) in the tandem karts and they thought it was awesome! They got to have a turn at driving and just loved the whole experience. Staff were great too! Helpful and super friendly. Can't wait to go back again.

      Most fun with your clothes on in Cromwell
      Fantastic experience. Steve was an excellent driving coach. His patience and assistance was most helpful. Will almost certainly do it again soon. As with everything at Highlands the professionalism was outstanding.

      U-Drive is the best
      Recommend to anyone to book the U-Drive experience! It’s well worth the cost! Exhilarating!! Toilets with a view are great! Go-Karts are awesome! Coffee was delicious

      An excellent day out!
      Excellent time had by all the family. Finally got a nice dry day for our car racing. The staff are so friendly and the driver was amazing! Highly recommend. My husband did the Radical U drive and the Ferrari for his 50th birthday and the family went in the Taxi.

      Never to old this one.
      What a brilliant experience, my driver gave a full informative description of the history from the start. The ride in the Porsche SUV was something. Many thanks Mr Quinn

      Unforgettable driving experience
      I learned about Highlands by chance while in the middle of a month long trip to NZ. A lifelong motorsports fan, I could not pass up the chance to drive the Radical sports racer on a genuine racetrack. I was blown away at the level of presentation, preparation and professionalism I encountered. Needless to say driving the Radical on the "C" course with some excellent pro guidance was unforgettable. Can't recommend this experience highly enough. Simply must do it if you have the chance!

      Really enjoyed this
      An amazing experience, the friendly and professional staff were great to deal with and the instructor was supportive and encouraged a bit of a push outside the comfort zone. The car was great to drive, grippy and felt very safe in all areas. Being an open cockpit was very cool as you could feel the helmet start to bobble at top speed. Will definitely do this again.

      A fun afternoon out with a very competitive family!!
      Very fun afternoon out! Racing around on the Go Karts with a very competitive family was a lot of fun. Safety was on point and the facilities were lovely and clean. It was a beautiful day so we all enjoyed sitting in the outdoor cafe area watching the cars go around while enjoying a drink with a view. Another peculiar highlight was the trip to the ‘loo with a view’ which had a number of funny themed bathrooms! The crew at the GoKarting area could have been a little more enthusiastic and upbeat but the crew at the main check in desk and cafe more than made up for that as they were lovely!

      What an amazing experience
      That was so much fun. After doing a couple of karting races I decided to go for the big one, the Radical. That's by far the best car I've ever driven. Tutored by a fab pro driver, I felt in really capable hands, even urging me to go faster! I'm so amazingly chuffed to have had the opportunity to do this. A++++

    just a note to say thank you heaps for the experiences we had the staff were friendly and informative. My wife and i loved the museum and all the great stuff about drivers etc.
    i did a couple of hot laps in the GT 3 and thoroughly enjoyed them, i thought for some silly reason my driver looked familiar as a pro driver i was sure i had seen him before but cant think where, i only wish i had done the drive experience, will definitely put that on my list for next time. my 7yo daughter loved the tandem kart. i have to say loo with a view was a highlight very funny.

    Andrew took me for an amazing lap in the Ferrari. He was cool, calm and friendly ensuring I was okay. This was a wonderful, exhilarating experience which I could have done again happily, immediately after. The track has fun corners, some stomach turning bumps but so much fun! I wish there was an opportunity for a photo with the driver in the car but no other complaints. The car museum was interesting and the coffee and macaroon at the cafe perfect on the deck with the view of the track and awesome Central Otago sun.

    We saw the promotion and purchased a one-lap Supercar Fast Dash for $199 and a second person to experience the same product for $99. It was an exhilarating and memorable ride! We also got to record the session on our mobile devices with the aid of a mounted stand in the Ferrari. We also visited the museum and my husband was completely engaged in this experience.

    Wow. So exciting. I pulled into a park and could see a new Ferrari 488 GTB (I got told what it was). I booked a super car fast dash and while I was being looked after by the friendliest young lady I decided to do 2 laps and that wasn’t a problem. It had started spitting rain so she quickly got me ready and it was all go. Tom was my driver and her was lovely and friendly too I felt safe as. He mounted my phone, I chose to record the track. He asked me if I was ready and I said yes and off we went. I talked way too much. It was the best thing ever, the highlight of my holiday. I was high on adrenaline for ages after the laps. I had a good look around the amazing museum, the cars and trucks are superb. There is a room with videos and pictures of famous people in the racing industry speaking of their experiences and there are simulation seats and headsets where you can select a driver to talk you around the track. The cafe was also wonderful and their staff were as friendly. The go cart area, I never made it there but you can see it from the main building and it looks as choice there were children playing on the flying fox. Oh, loo with a view, magic, I went into just the one and it was really posh, you could watch the races from there. I am definitely going there again, and again…

    I had heard of the fast dash in a supercar at highland park and booked in a retirement gift today. The anticipation was also magnified by the 10 lap go kart experience immediately before. I thought I was fast but lapped by 3 guys on a stag do!! Steve got me into the Ferrari with hair net and helmet. Explained what we were going to do and bang we were off. Fantastic acceleration and grip, videoed the lap and Steve was not only a superb driver but happy to converse along the way!!! Great experience which summed up the whole experience at highland park. Fantastic, professional and super friendly. I will be back!!

    I throughly enjoyed my laps around the track. I took 1 lap in the Ferrari 488 and 1 in the Porsche GT3. Both were really fun and completely different rides. The Ferrari is loud, fast and throws you back, but the Porsche just sticks to the track like glue.
    The check-in staff was friendly and accommodating and the drivers were informative.
    I highly recommended this to any auto buff.

    Wow simply the best. I chose the Porsche GT3 and it was an unbelievable experience. Even better as I didn’t know which way the track was going so coming over the blind brow of the bridge flat out was amazing.

    Went out today for the hot lap in the Ferrari, and what a hot lap. Breanne was amazing taking me and my wife for a lap each, which were the best Xmas gifts ever. So then we treated ourselves to the Porsche electric launch experience. Damon got us from 0 to 100km in 2.4 sec.
    The rest of the staff were amazing from check in to the cafe.
    Some might say it's expensive but you don't have to fuel it, insure it,or service it , so good value all round.

    The Heart-raising Experience, adrenaline rush, the cute driver beside me hahahaha

    It could have been a really good experience if the driver was told clearly that I got 2 laps not 1 so we don’t have to stop and do the other lap separately. But anyhow, the whole experience is awesome and I enjoyed it so much. Definitely, it is on my Do-It-Again List.

    Super fast take off ride was awesome! Very short trip but enjoyed every second.
    We didn’t do the museum because of the cost, would have been great to go in for free if buying a ride in the cars. Good viewing from the front of the cafe for those not riding.
