Pindan Tours and 4WD Training

I have just completed a 2 day training with Norm and Coralie and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Norm has taught me so much about technique and driving which has provided me with well needed self confidence. The training was delivered in the most impeccable manner i could have ever wished for. I m so looking forward to doing my advanced training then join them on a desert trip. Highly recommended!

Just did a day tour around the Flinders Rangers with Norm and Coralie, specifically quite a bit on Mt Little Station. It was an awesome day out. Brilliant running commentary while driving around by them both. Caring and thoughtful drive assistance to both parties (us and the other lady driving her camper van), both drivers new to 4WD-ing and had previously done the training course. We can't wait to go out and do another, longer tour with them. Would highly recommend!

I would give this more stars if I could. Norm and Coralie were excellent instructors and taught us a lot about our car and what it could do, and how to do it. They built our 4WD confidence by 100% and more. We had theoretical and practical experience. They welcomed us into their home and endeared themselves to us with their easy going nature all the while challenging us to do what we didn't think we could. The weekend was worth every cent. I highly recommend Pindan Tours and 4WD training.

My son and I attended the 4WD training course with Norm and Coralie. The training was comprehensive and delivered very professionally and we both gained invaluable experience which would be hard to find anywhere else. Norms local knowledge of the Flinders Ranges area and tracks was valuable in planning future trips. Highly recommended!

We did a 2 day training course in our 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter campervan. One very thorough day of theory and on the 2nd day we put this into practice, on sand, rock and mud. Norman and Coralie were excellent trainers, being very thorough in their approach and generous with their time and knowledge. We definitely recommend their training course and look forward to joining them on one of their tag along tours!

Thanks to Norm and Coralie for a great weekend and for sharing your in-depth knowledge of 4w driving. We learnt so much and are now confident to tackle 4wd situations in a safe manner. The training was tailored to your own vehicle which made it so beneficial.

Two of the best days we have had! We cannot recommend Pindan tours highly enough.We spent 2 days in training with Norman and had a blast. We learnt a huge amount about 4WDing and had a lot of fun doing it. We were impressed by Normans passion for 4WDing and the outback, as well as his professionalism combined with country hospitality.We found the theory really valuable to inform on the practical lesson. We learnt some great information about the mechanics of the car, tyre pressures, terrain types and what ‘not to do’. Norman’s videos and photos kept the day entertaining and the theory was really well presented, organized, interesting and informative.The practical day was a complete blast. The tracks we went on showed incredible views and enabled us to put the theory we had learnt the previous day into practice. It was controlled but challenging. We learnt recovery techniques in both rocky terrain and desert sand. Norman also took us through some safety driving on gravel roads. The day was jam packed and Norm and his wife Coralie were both very generous with their time and knowledge.Since doing the course we have now already been on tracks designated for experienced 4WD’ers and we felt competent, and handled the tracks well.If you want an adventure and have never done any 4WDing (like us), or just want to brush up on your 4WDing skills we would highly recommend getting in touch with Norman at Pindan tours. We haven’t been on a tag along tour but having spent a couple of days with them, we think it would be fantastic. We hope we can get back over this way some day soon to do one!!

Highly Recommend!!! We as a group of 3 cars and Caravans travelled down from Qld to do a 4 day Gnarly tag along tour. Norman and Coraline were fantastic hosts and looked after our needs towing caravans then dropping them of at camp and hitting the tracks. The knowledge we gained from Norman with our cars was awesome and we all had the best time on the gnarly gnarly tracks. Thanks again guys we will be back for another adventure. Kev & Sonia

I highly recommend anyone who is keen to learn 4x4 skills and techniques to do their 2 day training. Norman and Corallie are truly 4x4 experts and through their demonstrations and supervision I was able to learn about the capabilities of my Ranger as well as gaining confidence to tackle more challenging terrain than I would have contemplated before. They were great teachers, fun to be around and I’m really looking forward to joining them on their tag-along tours.

Thanks so much to Norman & Coralie for taking us through 4WD training on the weekend. Over 2 days they tailored the course and took us through relevant information and skills to improve our confidence and competence when 4WDing and getting out of situations we may come across when travelling in remote places. The course was very hands on and a lot of fun.
