1:1 Private Training

$1200 / person · 6 hours · In-person

This is a private, 1:1 off-road training day at Hollister Hills, customized to your vehicle, experience, and goals. Whether you want to build a solid foundation, refine advanced techniques, or focus on EV-specific skills, we'll adapt the day to you. From mild to wild, we'll do it all. Train on real terrain while learning throttle control, 2-foot driving, tire placement, and more. With expert coaching, you'll leave with the confidence to explore safely. A private class can include up to 3 rigs (full price each).

  • Driver's license
  • Proof of insurance
  • Water and a packed lunch
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Work gloves - recommended
  • A camp chair (optional)

All participants sign a liability waiver - you'll review and sign it during booking, or read it here first.

Good to know

  • Cell service is limited out here.
  • Class runs rain or shine (we only stand down for genuine safety)
  • It's a full day outside
  • Radios are provided for class
  • All needed gear is provided - bring your own recovery gear if you'd like us to look it over

Meeting point & logistics

Hollister Hills SVRA
  • Meet 8:30 AM at Mudstone Ranch (6307 Cienega Rd, Hollister), then caravan to the Main Entrance (7800 Cienega Rd).
  • A $5 Upper Ranch day pass is required - your lead instructor covers it. Ask for a paper map at the gate.
  • Final meet-up point: the Old Oak Tree, Upper Ranch.
  • Been to Hollister before? You can skip the caravan and meet the group directly at the Old Oak Tree in the Upper Ranch - just let us know ahead of time so we aren't waiting for you at Mudstone Ranch.
  • Arrive with at least a half tank of fuel or 50% state of charge (a Tesla Supercharger is about 8 miles away).
  • We wrap up around 3:00-3:30 PM.
  • Plan for about six hours of instruction inside that window - the rest is arrival, air-down, lunch, and wrap-up.
