Imagine feeling the rush of driving through muddy hills, splashing through water crossings, and maneuvering over challenging terrain—all under the guidance of expert drivers. That’s exactly what this off-road adventure in Gdansk promises. While I haven’t done it myself, from what I’ve gathered, it’s a pretty solid choice for anyone craving an adrenaline boost and a break from typical city sightseeing.
What really caught our eye are two standout features: the opportunity to try your skills behind the wheel and the inclusion of roundtrip transportation from the city center. Both make the experience more accessible and convenient, especially if you’re new to off-road driving or don’t want to worry about logistics.
On the flip side, one thing to consider is the activity’s physical nature—it’s not suited for everyone, especially those with certain health issues or pregnant women. Plus, since the tour is only three hours, it’s a quick adrenaline hit rather than a full-day adventure, which might leave some wanting more.
This experience is best suited for adventure lovers, groups, or team-building events who want a taste of the wild side without committing to a full-day outing. It’s also great for those who want a hassle-free trip out of Gdansk, thanks to the included transport.

What to Expect on the Off-Road Adventure
The adventure kicks off with a pickup from Gdansk’s city center, making it easy to join without fuss. Once you’re in the vehicle, it’s about a 30-minute ride out to the off-road site, situated in the picturesque Pomerania Province. The drive itself is a chance to relax and get excited for what’s ahead.
Upon arrival, you’ll notice a fleet of up to 20 off-road cars, each capable of accommodating three passengers. The setup allows for a lively group atmosphere—perfect if you’re with friends, colleagues, or organizing a small celebration. And if you’re feeling confident, you can hop into the driver’s seat; otherwise, riding shotgun with an expert driver is equally fun and safe.
The terrain itself is a true test of any driver’s skills—expect muddy patches, steep hills, water crossings, and uneven ground. The terrain is purposely challenging, so it’s a real adrenaline rush to navigate through it. We loved the way the guides encourage participation, helping everyone try their hand at driving, even if it’s just for a few segments. This hands-on approach adds a lot to the thrill.
Participants report that the terrain is varied and engaging. One reviewer mentioned, “The mud and water crossings made it all the more fun, and I loved trying to control the vehicle as it slipped and slid.” The guides are described as professional, friendly, and very patient, which makes the experience accessible even for beginners.
The duration of about two hours on the terrain feels just right—long enough to get a good dose of adrenaline without wearing out. The tour wraps up with the group returning to Gdansk, offering a convenient, stress-free experience.
Practical Details and Value
Pricing for this adventure isn’t explicitly listed here, but considering it includes transportation, a guided off-road experience, and shared vehicle rides, it offers good value for thrill-seekers. The fact that you can reserve now and pay later, plus cancel up to 24 hours in advance, gives some flexibility, especially if your plans might change.
Transportation is a major plus—being picked up and dropped off in the city center means you avoid the hassle of organizing taxis or rental cars. The small group size (up to three per vehicle) ensures a more personalized experience, which many travelers appreciate.
The tour is operated in both English and Polish, ensuring clear communication for international visitors. It’s important to note that the activity is not suitable for children under 18, pregnant women, or those with back or heart problems. This limits its appeal for some, but it’s understandable given the physical demands of off-road driving.
In terms of what to bring, wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty and sturdy, closed-toe shoes—this is essential for safety and comfort. Since the terrain can be muddy and wet, don’t wear your nicest outfit.
