As a driver, having complete control of your vehicle is essential to ensure that every ride is a smooth and safe one. 

It’s relatively easy to drive on concrete roads and follow traffic signals and speed limits. However, everyday driving may not adequately test and evaluate your driving skills.

No matter how good of a driver you think you are, there’s always room for improvement.

That’s why, we’ve put together this list of exhilarating activities that will improve driving skills and test not only your control, but also your hand-eye coordination, agility and quick-thinking skills.

Without further ado, let’s ‘drive’ into Avalanche Adventure’s assortment of driving adventures and hit the road! 

1) Hit the Quad-biking

Driving a quad-bike is a surefire way to get your blood pumping and feel that adrenaline rush in your veins. Despite the smaller size of these all-terrain vehicles, they pack a mighty punch. 

This advanced driving activity is also a great way to improve your driving skills and have some fun with friends. 

To drive a quad bike you have to learn balance and stability – it’s not as simple as just pulling the trigger handles. As a rider, you’ll have to constantly switch from standing up to sitting down and be focused on what’s ahead. 

Alongside stimulating your senses, our quad-biking safaris are the perfect advanced driver training opportunity to practise coordination by racing around a track. With sleek turns and sudden bumps, driving a quad bike is the ideal setting to work on your peripheral vision as well.

Taking charge of a car may be something you’re familiar with, but taking charge of your quad-bike is a different experience altogether. It gives you independence and the freedom to make your own driving decisions while also developing your control skills in a way regular old driving never can. 

2) Go Off Road

Do you ever wish to say goodbye to ordinary roads littered with stoplights and speed limits? Just take you and your car, escape to an open track and see what you’re truly made of. 

Off-road driving is an exhilarating experience, but you can’t just do it anywhere.

With Avalanche’s off-road driving, every turn or step needs to have a purpose. Not only will you have to do away with driving nerves, but you’ll also have to think on your feet – quite literally. For example, say you’re slowing down on muddy land. Instead of instinctually flooring the pedal and sinking faster, the smarter move would be to maintain a steady speed while carefully steering to dig your vehicle out gradually.

By exposing yourself to such scenarios, like  getting stuck, you can learn so much about vehicle extraction and recovery. Moreover, you learn to remain calm and cool-headed when faced with the unexpected. Off-road driving is an activity filled with excitement and adventure that will teach you valuable driving lessons and skills to make you ready for anything.

3) Driving in UNO-Reverse

Where steering left means right and vice versa, opposite steer buggying is a rare and unconventional sport that is bound to make you laugh.

On the surface, opposite steer driving sounds rather simple. The steering works in reverse, so what? That sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? It’s not. Watch your sense of direction desert you and be prepared to put your hand-eye coordination skills to the test.

If you thought you were an excellent driver, think again. With our specially-crafted opposite steer buggying courses, even confident drivers are put to the ultimate test, many leaving a trail of battered cones behind. 

However, once you master the controls of this advanced driver’s experience, not only will you improve your driving skills, but you will also be able to brag about them to your friends. If you haven’t tried opposite steer buggying before, you’re in for a peculiar and fun-filled experience you won’t soon forget!

4) Dip Your Toes into Digger Driving

Picture yourself crossing a construction site and work is in full swing. When you see the heavy-duty diggers, have you ever wanted to give it a go yourself? With digger driving, you can finally toss aside regular car driving and transform this fantasy into a reality!

At Avalanche, our digger driving activity allows you to get behind the controls of these massive machines and see what it takes to dig, blade and master driving a digger. 

With digger driving, you can get a first-hand feel of what it’s like to power one of the largest pieces of machinery a novice can experience. With a bucket that’s able to fill over seven bathtubs and stands at an impressive fully stretched height of 10 metres, we promise you’ve never driven anything like it.

Experience the euphoric thrill of driving a digger and feel the first-hand excitement of fulfilling one of your childhood dreams with this exhilarating activity.

5) Surf the Waters with Hovercrafts

If you think you’ve already mastered every vehicle on land, what’s stopping you from broadening your horizons and surfing the waters? With our hovercrafts, you will be able to do this and so much more! 

Hovercrafts are similar to planes as they use the same ‘lift’ physics to levitate on a cushion of air. They may not let you take flight, but they will give you an unforgettable lesson in the importance of coordination and control. Get ready for the wildest part…there are no brakes! When you need to stop, you have to gently ease off the throttle lever to let your craft sink back to the ground. 

The true skill of piloting a hovercraft lies in predicting where you need to be and then using your driving skills to steer well enough until you get there. That’s what makes driving a hovercraft such an exhilarating experience and a unique way to improve driving skills. 

Not only are these air cushion machines safe and easy to drive, but they also guarantee any driving enthusiast a fantastic and rewarding day out.
