Highly recommend the fantastic facilities and unique offerings available for groups at Highlands. An exhilarating spin around the track in a Ferrari definitely ticked off a few backlists. Go-kart races and Subaru WRX timed slalom made for some healthy competition and bragging rights at the end of the day.
The Subaru WRX Experience is a hit with groups! Getting out on the track environment and behind the wheel of a WRX is an awesome experience. Add in some expert driving tuition and healthy competition, along with all the other experiences and facilities that Highlands has to offer, and you’re into a terrific day out together.
My Incentive group had a fantastic time at Highlands with the specially curated range of activities that appealed to our varied group of men and women who ranged in age from 20 to 55 years. All the activities were great, but the two absolute favourites were the Subaru WRX experience and the Supercar Fast Dash. The group certainly left Highlands on a ‘High’! Thank you again for a great day.
