Incentive

Are you looking for a truly unique destination for your incentive group? Highlands is a world class facility with experiences to match.

Arrive at Highlands by road or helicopter either way the dramatic views through the Kawarau Gorge featuring the mighty Kawarau River, Gibbston Valley Wineries and through to local fruit orchards are not to be missed.

The activities can include high speed Supercars, outdoor Go-Karts, U-Drive Race cars and an Ultimate Drive experience in our fleet of Subaru WRX’s with you behind the wheel.

We have a large range of experiences to offer your VIP guests. The Private GT Members lounge is just one of the ways we can enhance your guests visit to Highlands.

Talk to our groups team about your incentive and how we can make it extra special.

Bus & Coach groups

If you are arriving on a coach, bus or minivan, we can pre-arrange for you to do a commentary slow lap of the track in your bus. One of the Highlands team will jump aboard to give the commentary as you drive the track. There may even be a race car whizzing past!

Your group will love our famous Loo With A View, one way glass in our toilets and each one is individually themed.

There is a café onsite with a large outdoor balcony overlooking the park to cater for breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea, or simply a cold drink and ice-cream.

We do ask that you pre-arrange your visit to Highlands with our groups team.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

School Groups

Highlands is a popular choice for school groups. If you are arriving by bus or mini van then we start your visit with a commentary slow lap of the track in your bus. One of our team will tell the kids all about the track and the cool stuff that happens at Highlands!

Then Go Karts and the Museum are a must do. There is even a podium and a flying fox at Go Karts. The Museum is filled with interactive activities that is included in your museum entry price (including a Reaction Test, Virtual Reality Room, Daytona Sega Arcade Simulators and a Selectrix Set)!

Talk to our team about planning your school visit.

Car Clubs

We love a car club visit to Highlands.

We offer touring track laps behind a pace car for 2-3 laps on track, the only way you can get onto the Highlands track with your own vehicle. A group photo is a must in one of our various locations around Highlands Park.

There is a café onsite with a large outdoor balcony overlooking the park to cater for breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea, or simply a cold drink and ice-cream.

Talk to our groups team about your car club visiting.

Some of the ladies were quite nervous passengers, but your staff quickly put everybody at ease. The girls that did it were stoked and they felt like they conquered their fear. Overall, it really was cool and even they were surprised how much they liked it. I can’t thank you and your team enough, well done!
