Hummer Extreme Drive Experience - Perth
You will be able to communicate with the instructor and other passengers via the military headsets as you put the Hummer to the test driving up and down huge sand dunes and getting familiar with the H1 Hummer. Your instructor will guide and instruct you how to use all the Hummer features including tyre inflation/deflation, diff locks, and traction control.
As you drive the H1 Hummer up and down sand dunes that would rip the front bumper off of a normal 4WD, you will quickly appreciate the Hummer’s steep 72 degree approach angle, huge 37” tyres, mid mounted engine and enormous ground clearance. Once you have mastered the H1 Hummer’s abilities, we will strap you into our 8.5L, V8 650HP racing Hummer for a hot lap though the sand dunes at speeds up to 200km/h!

Our H1 Hummers can take three passengers at a time, so groups of 3, 6 or 9 are great. If you cannot convince any of your mates to come with you because they are too scared(!), then we will put you in with some others to make up a group of three passengers.
Passengers are required to sign a waiver and provide proof of ID.
