Start your engines and get set for a one of a kind go karting experience in Otago, New Zealand. Set amongst a serene mountainside location, your go kart race delivers all the thrills and chaos that you desire. If you’re a family that love to race or try new experiences together then Otago go karting is a great activity to share together.
Stop by and buckle up for a go karting race in Otago where passengers as young as 6 and drivers 10 years+ can join you for a go kart ride on this 650 metre outdoor track. Reaching speeds up to 50km/h, these nimble go karts pack a punch and will have you zipping around corners and rushing down the straights during a 10 minute session. From check–in and race track briefing to your 7 laps drive with two introductory laps accompanied by a professional driver. Gather your tribe or fly solo – either way you’re set to have an extraordinary day at the go kart race track in the Highlands.
