5 Coolest Off-Road Buses Built For Adventure

For most people, mini trucks, quad bikes, and dirt bikes are synonymous with adventure and thrill. Contrarily, buses may evoke indifference and passiveness from the same group. But, the balance drastically shifts to the other side when we bring off-road buses into the discussion.

If you didn’t know something like an off-road bus existed, we don’t blame you. These all-terrain beasts are not as widespread and popular as their four-wheeled counterparts. However, when it comes to sturdiness and versatility, these buses stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other all-terrain vehicles.

Check out this video of the most awesome off-road buses in the world. We’ve cherry-picked five of the coolest ones and talked about them in this article.

Off-road buses that travel on mud, sand, and snow

1. sleipnir monster truck.

A mighty off-roader that can pave its path through thick ice, Sleipnir Monster Truck is a beast in the truest sense of the word. A namesake tour agency uses this ride for taking passengers around the frozen highlands of Iceland. Moreover, this 8×8 off-road bus can traverse glaciers conveniently, thanks to its 65-inch and 78-inch giant tires. Coming to the interior, there are comfy leather seats, a high-end air conditioning system, skyline windows, and built-in toilets.

2. Terra Bus

Terra Bus is an off-road vehicle spacious enough to carry 56 passengers. It is a favorite of the tourism industry and can be modified to feature bigger windows for a better outside view. Customization being one of its strong suits, you can also equip the bus with a wheelchair lift. From snowy surfaces to mud, the Terra Bus has been tested to run anywhere.

3. Monster Bus

Monster Bus is an off-roader with a proven track record in navigating through sand. The Doha Bus agency uses it to conduct a desert tour in the Qatari capital. Its a roomy bus whose capacity goes up to 32 passengers. To beat the Arabian heat, the vehicle relies on tinted windows and a much-needed air conditioning system.

The Tatra is a rugged off-road bus that carries passengers around rocky and uneven dirt surfaces. It is popularly used by tour agencies for the Atacama HAT (High-altitude Tours) in Chile. During the HAT journey, this 8×8 vehicle runs across difficult terrain around the Sairecabur Volcano near the Chile-Bolivia border. Since HAT involves going 18,700ft above sea level, the Tartra comes equipped with a single-valve oxygen system to reduce the effect of altitude sickness.

5. Torsus Praetorian

Although Torsus Praetorian’s look tilts more towards conventional than unique, it is still an effective off-roader on par with the others. It features a 290HP powerful engine and all-terrain tires to persevere during the most challenging road trips. Also, the off-road bus can seat up to 35 people and comes with built-in air conditioning. Various industries, including tourism and medical, have adopted this off-roader for different purposes.

These stellar off-road vehicles have a Russian cousin we’d like you to meet. It is called a Shatun ATV .

The incredible off-road resurrection of a legendary Volkswagen stash

It was rumored for years: Some grizzled, old desert rat had a stash of rare Volkswagen Microbuses stacked up in a warehouse in Moab, Utah. Retired off-road tour vans mothballed after 30 hard years with the first motorized tour company in the southeast part of the state. All split-window sunroof deluxe models, precious as the dinosaur bones, that the old man dug from the cracked red dirt. No, they aren’t for sale, and no, he won’t let you see them.

Turns out the rumor was true, the desert rat in question was named Lin Ottinger, and every true air-cooled nerd knew at least some of the details. 

That was then, this is now. Lin, slim, tall, and 92-years-experienced, ambles in red plaid, blue jeans, and silver beard, through a patch of 31 old VWs next to his warehouse. Mostly buses wearing knobby tires, dead bugs, and battle scars. To our once-cynical hero, these are ostensible indicators that the breathless weirdos in his garage are of his ilk— cars, goddammit, are meant to be driven . That’ll happen as soon as he can rally us around his belated birthday present, a 1963 23-window Ottinger Tour Bus just put back on the road after 30 years of passive work in dust collection. Today’s agenda: active dust collection, on a rough and twisty piece of the old tour route in the crimson heart of Edward Abbey’s canyonland. 

None of this seemed possible 10 years ago. Back then, Lin was seen as just another eccentric curmudgeon guarding a treasure chest of old cars he’d never sell nor pay any mind to. You know the type. It wasn’t a totally inaccurate characterization. Unlike the cantankerous shufflers who so unjustly crushed your barn-find fantasies, however, Lin had an honest reason: When you’re sitting on a treasure, the world is full of pirates. 

All the notes and telephone messages and emails and in-person pleas to buy just one bus, please were bad enough. Then parts began disappearing off his eight tour-battered Volkswagens. Lin had retired them to a spot next to his famous rock shop on the main drag into Moab when he shuttered Ottinger Land Tours in the early ’90s due to increased restrictions on motorized travel along his route, now primarily contained in Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. His beloved buses and the Volkswagen community he once embraced had become, at best, a constant source of unnecessary stress.

Rock hunters, amateur paleontologists, and storytellers all, history is important to the Ottingers. Unfortunately, the new generation of Volkswagen fanatics didn’t display much respect for the family’s personal history. Disgusted, Lin hid his VW exhibit away in the loft of an unmarked warehouse outside town. Things calmed down and mostly stayed that way until the early-2000s, when a photo surfaced on the internet: eight dusty split-window Buses packed sardine-tight in the back of a mysterious building, all but one of them sign-painted with a name and location, “Lin Ottinger, Moab, Utah.” Cue—and queue—the pirates.

“Why would I sell ’em?” Lin barks before I finish the question. “One guy come out here and offered me $100,000 for each one of ’em,” he says, leaning against a cobwebbed 21-window. “I told him, ‘Oh, I have something for you right over here… it’s called the door. And don’t come back.’”

One hundred thousand dollars . For broken-down, worn-out work buses. Maybe that seems insane to you. As a split-window VW bus owner more interested in adventure than investment, I personally hope it does. But for worse or better, these temperamental old motorized garden sheds command big bucks now. Especially 21- and 23-window sunroof deluxe models like Lin’s, which even in dubiously restored condition regularly surpass the $100K mark at the big televised auctions. But this story isn’t about classic car values; it’s about classic cars bringing people together in spite of those values—the monetary ones anyway. This is a love story; money has no business here. Money is the Molotov cocktail to love’s International Museum of Painstakingly Assembled Driftwood Art.

It took a labor of love for the Ottingers to give the vintage Volkswagen community another chance. Specifically, the mechanical restoration of an Ottinger tour bus by Colorado air-cooled VW specialists Kustom Coach Werks (KCW). The price was at once trivial and terrifying: KCW wanted a look inside the treasure chest. 

Of course, KCW head honcho John Jones knew the legend of the Ottinger Bus Stash. Living about an hour-and-a-half east of Moab in Grand Junction, he also knew the legend of Lin Ottinger. Those buses were never going anywhere. If you can’t buy a legendary bus, he thought, why not become a part of the legend? In 2015, John emailed the Ottinger rock shop with a crazy offer: Let me see your buses and I’ll put one back on the road for free. To his surprise, the Ottingers not only responded, they agreed. 

Several months of cutting, welding, and wrenching later, John trailered “Smokey,” the resurrected 1964 21-window tour bus, back to Moab with a 12-bus caravan of friends in tow. With Lin and his son, Sonny, eager to spin wheels on red dirt again, the reunion turned into a raucous off-road redemption run along a piece of the old tour route. It was followed by a jaw-dropping open house and a campout with an irresponsibly large bonfire. This was the first annual Lin Ottinger Moab Trip.

After the third such adventure in 2018, Salt Lake City Volkswagen guru Jason Smurthwaite took an Ottinger bus home, the same ’63 23-window Lin is itching to rip through the canyons today. Only a few days ago, Jason wrapped up a full mechanical restoration on the “Squash Blossom,” which Lin obtained in trade for a Navajo squash blossom necklace in 1965. Still reeling from the knowledge that he and his shop, Westy Restorations, are now a part of the Ottinger bus legend, Jason recalls the half-serious offer that got him here.  

“Man, let’s get another one on the road,” he pitched Sonny Ottinger last year. “I’d do it at cost, wouldn’t even charge you an hour of labor. I’d just like to see another one back on the road.” Sonny agreed, and that was that. 

Hold on. One mechanical restoration for nothing more than the cost of parts and another for free? I’ve been a car guy for 30 years and an active member of the vintage Volkswagen community for 20 of them, and I’ve never heard of anything like this. It seems especially bonkers in these sour times of six-figure auction buses. But it happened. 

You have to understand the people involved for it to make any sense. Those who frequent air-cooled off-road events like the Moab tour belong to a cult-like subset of the VW bus community dedicated to using these utilitarian vehicles as they were intended, and then some. Most of them got into these vehicles when they were easier to obtain than a rusty Honda Civic and twice as cheap. Now they’re almost unobtainium, especially first-generation split-window models. Too many are hidden under car covers in climate-controlled garages, emerging a few times a year for a car show or perfect weather cruise. To us, this is more than just sad, it’s a betrayal of the adventurous spirit that made these cars iconic—a vehicular archetype of freedom rivaled only by the Harley-Davidson motorcycle. So we’re militant about driving our VW buses—rain, snow, or shine. There’s a sense of duty to keep this strange and inspiring subculture alive and on the road, breakdowns be damned. Love makes you do crazy things.

The Volkswagen bus doesn’t sound like the best choice for an off-road tour business, especially in light of Moab’s more recent reputation as a challenging four-wheel-drive Mecca. Ask Lin why he chose rear-wheel-drive VWs over four-wheel-drive Jeeps when he started the business in 1960 and you’ll get a quick and unfulfilling response: They’re better . If you want the real answer, you have to settle in for a story. 

Before the tour business, before the rock shop, and before he had a dinosaur named after him ( iguanodon ottingeri ), Lin Ottinger was just another prospector scratching around Moab in the uranium boom of the 1950s. Kind of. You see, Lin was particularly good at sighting, staking, and sorting claims; skills many of his peers fell short on. One grey morning in 1958, Lin hopped in his colleague Howard’s Volkswagen van (a real nice one with a big ragtop sunroof and windows that go all the way around) to help him check a claim 30 miles south, near La Sal, Utah. Most of the roads around there were just plain dirt. Rain was rare, so gravel was deemed an unnecessary expense.

It had been raining all morning when the duo arrived at the long, steep hill they had to crest in order to reach the claim. And to hear Lin tell it, it was going to take the rest of the day for the line of Jeeps stuck in the mud before them to make it up the hill, with all the drivers out and pushing one Jeep at a time to the top, then running back down for the next one, and so on. Howard couldn’t wait that long. “He started his Volkswagen up, got up to the Jeeps, and he just cut off to the side—went over the bushes and was throwing up a plume of mud out back,” Lin recalls giddily, pantomiming the arcing mud shower with his long, thin hands. “I says, ‘Boy, that’s real good!’”

Of course, there’s more to it than that. You can comfortably carry six paying customers in a Volkswagen bus. With that big sunroof and all those windows, they’re guaranteed a good view. Fuel economy was stellar compared to the Jeeps of the day, meaning longer tours to more remote areas. And field repairs were simple thanks to the engineered simplicity of the vehicle. The VW bus just made good sense. 

Lin’s tour buses received a few modifications to optimize performance in the unforgiving wilds of southeast Utah. Rear bumpers came off for a better departure angle. A homemade snorkel intake on the right rear corner of the roof delivered dry, dusty air down a pipe through the cabin, into the engine compartment, and through a heavy-duty agricultural air-cleaner before a stock single-barrel Solex carburetor gulped it down. Besides these changes and the occasional cut rear wheel arch to fit wider off-road tires, the buses were stock. Fifty horsepower is more than enough for crawling across slickrock.

With careful patience—or reckless aplomb, situation depending—a stock Volkswagen bus will carry you farther off-road than you could ever imagine. Doing just that is a major point of this event. Massachusetts-raised wanderers Rebecca Sisson and James Murphy are finding this out today, following the Ottinger caravan down the aptly-named Pucker Pass in the immaculate white ’69 Westfalia they call home. James chooses careful patience. As he steers his bus between a canyon wall and a giant boulder, down a bad washout littered with basketball-sized rocks, his facial expression shifts from terrified to elated in-sync with a forward pitch that lifts the left rear wheel off the ground and the brake-slipping progress that brings it back down. “I thought I was going to break my bus, but everyone else had already done it,” he says. “It’s definitely not something we would’ve tried on our own.”

There’s something to that quote, isn’t there? Something cliché about the merits of community as a means of raising individuals to heights they might not reach on their own. Alone we are mostly timid creatures. We stick to the pavement. Take the path of least resistance. Hide our broken hearts in dusty warehouses. Rugged individualism, that tired American fever dream, can only take one so far, and it can only take one. It takes two to tango—and at least that many to limp home a carload of tourists on a gravity-fed fuel pump made of old beer cans and an inner tube. Just ask Lin. If you’re lucky, he’ll offer you a ride in a bus matching that description. But keep your money in your pocket; it’s not for sale.

Meet The World's Toughest Off-Road Bus

This bonkers bus will literally take you anywhere.

School buses don't need to be boring. Last year, Torsus created the world's toughest school bus based on the Praetorian. This is the same company that also developed the world's toughest minivan . With its rugged looks and impressive off-road capability, the Praetorian is the Jeep Wrangler of buses, capable of charging up steep mountains, driving through sand dunes, and wading through deep rivers. This bonkers bus will take you literally anywhere .

Now, Torsus has made the Praetorian even better thanks to a host of updates for the 2021 model year. To help the Praetorian cope with challenging conditions, the halogen lights have been replaced with new LED headlights providing enhanced illumination.

Each unit provides 4,100 lumens, more than three times brighter than a high-beam halogen light on a car. Roof-mounted lights can also be fitted for better visibility.

To improve the comfort for passengers during journeys in hot-weather climates, the air conditioning system has also been upgraded and can cool down a full bus of 35 passengers from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 86 degrees in just three minutes and from 140 F to 68 F in less than 15 minutes. It's so effective that it can keep the engine cool when climbing sand dunes to prevent it from overheating. Other new comfort features include extra space between the seats and screens on the back of the seats that can connect to your smartphone.

To meet new EU safety regulations, the passenger door has been redesigned and will now open and close in under eight seconds. It also automatically closes when the speed gets to 1.86 mph and new sensors prevent passengers or obstacles getting trapped in the doorway. New extending and retracting footsteps and entrance bars provide easier access. There's also a new fire protection system.

Like last year's model, the Torsus Praetorian is powered by a six-cylinder MAN diesel engine with 286 hp and 682 lb-ft of torque. A heavy-duty 4x4 off-road transmission enables the bonkers bus to climb a 65 percent incline and wade through water up to 35 inches deep.

Alberto Aguilar Baez

Great experience. We had a nice and fun tour guide. Thought it would last longer!

Shobana Musti

The Ice Cave tour was once in a lifetime experience. The tour started on time. The off-road journey to the snow line was a new adventure, and then to wear the crampons and hike to the entrance of the cave was exciting. One you enter the cave, it is like being in winter wonderland or movie sets of a movie like Frozen. Unreal formation of ice. Our guide Einar was extremely friendly and had so much good information to share about the glaciers and the formation of these caves. I am so glad I visited Iceland in April to be able to see this natural wonder.

Matthew Gwee

Amazing views and lots of fun. The guide was also super nice and helpful who often stopped at good photo spots to help us take pictures

How to Get to Aruba National Park 

It takes around 40 minutes to drive from the hotel zone of Aruba in the Noord part of the island where most hotels are located, to reach Arikok. To get there, yo u can rent a vehicle, book a guided tour, or take a taxi to reach the entrance.

The only way to navigate the rugged terrain is by a 4x4 vehicle - similar to St Lucia's mountaineous island. You can’t get to the natural pool without a 4x4. You can self-drive to the park or take an organized Arikok National Park 4x4 tour which will include transportation from your hotel.

I don't like recommending ATVs as they can damage the island's delicate ecosystem.

Once you arrive at the park, be sure to pick up an Arikok National Park map from the park's visitor center. This map will guide you through the park's trails, caves, and historic sites. Don't forget to add these must-see attractions to your itinerary !

There's really no bad time to go to Aruba , so pack your bags, grad your face cover, and get ready for an off-roading adventure!

WWE's Cody Rhodes 'Safe and Okay' After Tour Bus Caught Fire Ahead of WrestleMania 40

Cody Rhodes' Road to WrestleMania hit one final roadblock Thursday night.

The American Nightmare released a statement Friday on X saying there were no injuries after his tour bus caught fire the previous night:

Cody Rhodes @ CodyRhodes Before you hear it elsewhere - my tour bus caught fire last night 🔥 <br><br>Everybody is safe and okay <br><br>The 2 items I grabbed before I got off will probably pop wrestling fans <br><br>Again, thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/PhillyFireDept?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PhillyFireDept</a>

"I think the universe was saying, 'Hey, we're going to set your bus on fire and you're still going to go in and wipe the floor with The Bloodline on Saturday. You're still going to do it,'" Rhodes said on the Pat McAfee Show .

Pat McAfee @ PatMcAfeeShow "I'm coming in a little bit hot and here's why..<br><br>Last night at 1AM my bus driver yelled we gotta get off this bus it's on fire..<br><br>There ain't NOBODY here who is more ready for WrestleMania than me" ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CodyRhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CodyRhodes</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PMSLive?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PMSLive</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WrestleMania?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WrestleMania</a> <a href="https://t.co/yO7EWO7OGJ">pic.twitter.com/yO7EWO7OGJ</a>

Rhodes said he grabbed a picture of his daughter, a picture of his wife and his WrestleMania boots as he was exiting his bus in the middle of the night.

Cody is set for the main event on both nights of WrestleMania 40 this weekend. He'll team with Seth Rollins on Saturday to take on Roman Reigns and The Rock before going one-on-one against Reigns for the undisputed Universal championship on Sunday night.

The weekend is expected to result in the culmination of Rhodes story to become WWE champion, achieving a dream his father, the late Dusty Rhodes, never pulled off.

If Rhodes winds up victorious Sunday night, we'll look back at this as one final obstacle along the way. If he loses, however, it could wind up as an omen.
