RUSSelf-Drive means you drive your own ATV or RZR buggy, following the lead guide who sets the pace and route. Unlike a guided tour where you ride as a passenger next to the guide, here you are in full control — choosing your line, feeling the terrain, experiencing real off-road driving. The guide ensures safety, provides navigation, takes photos, and keeps the group together.
How Self-Drive Works
It's simple: the guide gives a full safety briefing, explains how to operate the vehicle, and does a short test ride. Then everyone heads out in a convoy — the guide leads and you drive behind at your own pace. We stop for photos, viewpoints, and the guide shares stories about the area. Anyone who prefers not to drive can join as a passenger next to the guide.
Why Choose Self-Drive?
A real driving experience — not just a passenger, but the driver. You control your pace, your line, your adrenaline. Perfect for those who want to feel the thrill of off-road driving. The guide is always with you — full safety coverage. That's why 95% of clients choose self-drive.
Self-Drive vs Guided Tour
In a Self-Drive tour, each participant drives their own vehicle in a convoy. In a Guided tour, the guide drives and you sit next to them as a passenger. Self-Drive is ideal if you have a license and want a real driving experience. Guided is perfect if you don't have a license or prefer to relax and enjoy the scenery. Both options are available — choose what suits you.
License Requirements — What the Law Says
According to Israeli driving law, operating an ATV or RZR in open terrain requires a valid Category B driver's license (standard car license). No motorcycle license is required. This applies even when self-driving in nature reserves. Those without a license can join as passengers.
