Glenroy Road

Glenroy Road offers 4WD drivers a chance to explore a lesser-known route in the Tasman District, where you'll discover what local backcountry driving is all about. This 1.5 km trail provides an intimate introduction to South Island terrain, perfect for those seeking to venture off the beaten path without committing to a full day's expedition. The relatively short distance makes it an ideal option for testing your vehicle's capabilities or combining with other nearby tracks.

As you traverse Glenroy Road, you'll experience the raw character of the Tasman landscape, with native vegetation and rural scenery framing your journey.
