I get it, the cars are expensive, but they’re so de-tuned it feels like a stock Volkswagen Beetle. The co-driver treats you like one of his sons, which means lots of scoldings. They don’t let you shift through the gears, you basically have to keep it in 4th the entire time. You hit one cone and the guy tells you if you do it again you’re done and you forfeit the expensive rate. Also the course is pretty flat except for one small jump. Just a bunch of weeds and gravel. I would not recommend it at all. Maybe if you don’t mind paying $500 for a picture in front of the car, then it might be for you. Sorry Reese! Responding: Of course you have a perfect safety record for 26 years, you have the cars detuned to 70 hp! My point is that you advertise a V8 dunebuggy, I would expect to be able to drive a car with a little more power than a Vespa. You can say that my skill level is not that of a veteran rally driver, but when we're told to shift to 4th gear at 1,500 rpm and stay there, how would you even know? I don't even care to explain my driving history, which is not "average". Not to mention, the tires are as bald as Joe Rogan, of course the car is going to slide out at 20kph. I understand you have to protect your vehicles and maintain a safe environment, but as a customer expecting a good time, unless you have never driven a car offroad, you will be disappointed. Maybe if I had mentioned my concerns before paying for an awesome experience, you would have explained your "reasoning"?

I had an amazing experience with Off Road Rush! The whole team was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The instructors were knowledgeable and gave clear guidance, making the drive both exciting and safe. The vehicles were incredibly well maintained, and the off-road track delivered an unforgettable adrenaline rush. Whether you're a first-timer or a motorsport enthusiast, this is an experience you won't forget. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back for another drive!

Been on my bucket list for years finally ticked it off now have a even bigger itch for more, just the right amount of speed and power for novice like myself Instructor was great was very impressed with one or two of my turns I managed to get right lol hot laps, on another level felling the true capability of the Machine in the hand of a professional life changing Adrenaline Rush

Another awesome hot lap and drive!! Always awesome!! Been here many, many times as it is always the best fun, provided by an awesome family! Just get here and have a fantastic time!!

Not worth the money , the buggy’s were restricted could barely get up in speed. Paid extra to drive a trophy truck for a lap turns out they don’t even have one there, the hot lap with instructor was good different track and no limiter if I could have done that it would be worth the money but sadly not allowed. paid $500 for 8 laps in each buggy wouldn’t recommend

Booked 20 laps in the V8 buggy as a gift for my partner and he loved it! I also did a hot lap in the turbo buggy and it was so much fun, felt like a roller coaster. Not only was everyone so friendly and welcoming, but you could tell they were all super passionate about their work and offering a great experience. A great family run business, highly recommend for anyone - a great day out!

We came to the Gold Coast location purely because it had a jump, and are now thinking of booking a rally car experience in Ipswich also!

Had a cracking time with the guys out there the other day! I got a 20 lap + 2 hot lap experience for my brother in law for Christmas and joined him in it as well.
Had 2 stints (12/8 laps) in the v8 buggy with Rhyce. He was super calm and relaxed and made it easy for me to feel relaxed. I was worried that the instructors would hold me back, but he did the opposite and really pushed me to learn how to get the most out of the car without losing control. Not an expert by any means, but by the end I was pushing about as hard as I think I could, and Rhyce kept giving me tips to get faster!
Then out of the V8 and into the CanAm for the hot laps. Was unreal sitting next to a pro just going for it! So much fun. My 12 year old daughter and 2 of her cousins were there and ended up getting each of them a hot lap because of how much fun it was and they all had a blast!

The only criticism was that it was over too quickly! Would loved to have stayed for hours and hours! The team were super friendly and accomodating, and enjoyed chatting to them in the down moments about their experiences racing. Really knowledgeable and just great people. One of the great family owned and operated businesses out there! Love what they do and the passion they do it with! Will definitely be back!

Absolutely brilliant. My wife and kids all did it today. We drove the V8 and the instructors were great and the experience all you wish for. Kids 12 and 8 did the hot laps and loved it. Thank you for being extremely kind and really positive.

Brought the experience as a Christmas gift for the family, it was great fun. The team there are friendly & make you feel very welcome. Do it, book a couple of laps or more

Was a great time we went yesterday and really enjoyed. Was super fun and staff were awesome!! ☺️

Great place ta head out ta for the day. Blokes are a fountain of knowledge, is laid back yet a safe environment is felt.
Happy ta have a yarn and can they can drive.
Whether by yourself, corporate or with some mates. We'll worth the cost!

Took our family there for a few laps and a hot lap each. What an awesome experience. The team was amazing and super passionate. Coops was our instructor and did a great job in building the confidence of the younger ones. The hot laps had you on the edge of your seat. Overall such a great experience. All the best Coops for KDR2025. Will hopefully see you there.

Highly recommend this experience. Great fun. The 2 guys running this were amazing, welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic about sharing their experiences. The hot laps alone are worth visiting for.

Great if you want to go around a circuit in 4th gear and reach top speeds of 40kph! Yep, I am not joking, they force you to stay in 4th gear the entire time. Instructor is also not friendly will shout at you if you make a mistake on the course. You can't really swing the back out and drift as you're stuck in 4th gear and you can't get any power out of the corners. For real car enthusiasts, the drive up to the place is funner than the actual experience! I assume it would be super fun for 8 year olds, or people who don't care about the driving experience. Do not go here :)

Fantastic experience! We will be back to do again.

Husband and daughter had a great time, staff friendly as. We’ll be back. Thanks guys!

Awesome. Great experience. Team members were extremely helpful and nice. Booked the 6 laps drive of their turbo buggy. Oh wow. then decided to buy a hot lap with thier experienced driver. Well with the engine cranked up past the limiter, lets just say its totally worth the money. Getting to experience the buggy at its fullest. Would definitely do so again. Thanks again guys at off road rush.

Such a great experience and the family who run the business are super friendly and professional. They’re experienced and knowledgeable helping you navigate driving the buggy and make you feel safe and supported! Great place in nature and the cutest dog Pablo! Would recommend and come back again thankyou for having us and making our experience one to remember!

Absolutely brilliant experience. Enjoyed ever moment of. Even better when it’s a family owned business as the owners are absolutely lovely and even gave our two toddlers a lap around.
Once again couldn’t be happier with the experience and I’m looking forward to Bri going my dad here soon 10/10

YOU WILL NOT FIND DIDI OR UBER TO GO BACK! Rush has a lovely and very helpful staff—it’s a wonderful family-run business. After my friend and I finished our experience, we couldn’t find a cab back, and it started raining. We returned to ask if there were any alternatives, and the family kindly offered us a ride to the nearest mall, which we greatly appreciated.

As for the off-road driving experience, while it looked exciting, we found the circuit a bit underwhelming. It was mostly flat with minimal turns and had only one ramp that didn’t allow for much airtime. For the price, the driving experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.

Overall, the exceptional hospitality of the staff was a highlight of our visit. We hope that in the future, the circuit can be enhanced to offer more thrills, making the experience truly worth the investment.

Thanks to Chris and his family for our Rush around the circuit. We loved it! Cooper- you were awesome explaining step by step with us racing 🏁 around the track. Des and I had an awesome time. Can't wait to come back and maybe do more laps 😁

What a rush. Completed 2 hot laps and 12 laps as the driver. My instructor was excellent and it was truly a great experience. 100% respect to the professional drivers !

This was our third time there. Always have an awesome time and the staff are all fantastic and go out of their way to help! Highly recommend! We will be back again as soon as we can!

I've done the turbo buggy drive twice now and it's so much fun. The staff(family) make you feel very welcome the first time and even more if you come back again. Definitely recommend a visit

Awesome fun , really great staff , so friendly and made the day really enjoyable , thanks Rush ????

Absolutely wicked day, with great hospitality from the people who run it. My family and I felt extremely welcome and had a blast!

Bought this as a Christmas Gift for this year. Recipient was extremely excited about this. He attended was taken on a hot lap, however actual 6 laps was on a smaller course, with restricted speed, no go-pro available. This 6 lap experience was not what it read up to be, recipient was extremely disappointed!! Total waste of time and money. ????

best fun had a ball the truck was my favourite buggy was fun but the v8 was a challenge totally enjoyed it can't wait to go back again

Amazing experience, partner loved his V8 buggy experience for his birthday would 100% come back!

Owners very friendly and driver was excellent in the hot lap!

Highly recommend them, they are a great team out there

More than we expected What a fantastic experience!! I bought this for my hubby and he loved every second. A family owned and operated business who were so supportive and cheered him on throughout the whole thing. What a great bunch of people topped off with being able to drive the sensational buggies! Book directly with them

Great experience driving both the V8 Buggy and the Can-Am were awesome fun to drive. 8 laps in each really wasn't enough. The team were wonderful, helpful and good at guiding us while we were driving while still letting us have fun. The hot lap was also amazing. Thanks team for looking after us and making our day.

Fantastic Fun I booked this experience for my fiance while we were on vacation in Surfers Paradise. He absolutely loved it! Everyone was friendly and helpful. He especially loved the 2 hot laps.

a great new experience went there today and it was nicely organized. had a safety briefing with how to handle the vehicles. instructors were super nice and helpful in making it a good drive, you're bit limited in driving to the fullest speed but the excitement is full on with the Hot Lap ride and i wish did all Hot laps as it was just crazy good.

I had the best experience with the team from off road rush enjoying the v8 buggy experience with RHYS in the passenger seat guiding me around every corner, going sideways even, with a jump in the track just to top it off. All I wanted was to keep going. Definitely gave me the itch to want more.

Absolutely Erectifying Great value:
-Awesome first time off road racing experience
-Streamline online booking
-Professional staff
-Confident instructor

Considerations for improvement:
-An elevated viewing area higher than the spectator hill would make waiting much more engaging.
-A track map/diagram(even as an online version) would have been much appreciated as we had no idea what to expect prior to entering the driver seat.
-Seat adjustments were a little limiting for adults of smaller stature: They cycle drivers through at an efficient pace and experience will be over before you know it, so make sure you are seated at the controls comfortably.

Fantastic experience, and I will recommend it to all driving enthusiasts

Excellent experience!!! Loads of fun and I didn't want to get out or the buggy. I am planning on coming back to try the rally cars and trophy truck together!! Great price and well worth the money. You have to try it!!!!

Great Father and Son Day Out Overall fantastic experience from booking the event to driving the trucks. The owners / staff were very easy going, friendly and made sure you enjoyed your experience. The best part, driving the trophy truck and buggy. On top of that, it is designed for teenagers to enjoy as well, my two teenage boys (13 and 16) loved the experience. Yes its pricey compared to bowling or theme parks, but seriously, when do you get a chance to drive a trophy truck / buggy anywhere else. Worth every cent.

13th birthday pressie Father-Son birthday bonding session at it's finest.
Great communication all through the booking process, easy to locate venue and very sincere service.

We had some mud which i think made it more fun, even though probably slightly slower than the track would allow. Nonetheless wee man had a brilliant few hours and has another experience to remember.
