Renowned for its own uniqueness New Zealand has topped the leaderboard in tourism activities. Why? Because us Kiwis like to do things a wee bit different when it comes to adventure. We throw people down a hill in a giant inflatable ball, jump out of planes and raft down 7m waterfalls, and that’s just in one day! Imagine what you can do in 2 weeks!
We have drafted a quick glance at what’s on offer. But remember, this is just a smidgen of what we can do for you.
JET BOATS
Created by a kiwi farmer in the 1950’s, Jet boating is an adventure for all ages and levels of fitness. The ultimate experience in extreme water sport, this superfast powerboat takes skill and attention. Now don’t worry you won’t be driving one, but you sure can be a passenger! Zoom down rivers for a thrilling experience, enjoy 360 spins and fast turns, brush closely against the rocky edges of canyons or simply take in the scenery.
Areas: Rotorua, Taupo, Canterbury, Haast and Queenstown.
SKY DIVING
Sky diving has a satisfying sense of accomplishment as it is truly a 100% pure adrenaline rush. New Zealand has the highest tandem sky dive in the southern hemisphere of 19,000 feet. That’s over 60 seconds of freefall! In Tandem, you can jump like a pro without all the leg work and hard yards, as your Tandem Masters have you covered. With different heights to choose from you can choose a freefall experience to suit you. Plus the different locations offer postcard dramatic scenery. Once you land from your jump the first time, you’re already planning your next.
Areas: Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Abel Tasman, Franz Josef, Wanaka and Queenstown
ZIP LINING
Zip lining is like a bigger version of those flying foxes we played on growing up. Due to speeds reached and heights of the lines, zip lining is now considered an adventure ride. Surrounded by wilderness New Zealand offers some of the most spectacular zip lining experiences. Immerse yourself in nature whilst experiencing the thrill of each zip.
Areas: Waiheke Island, Rotorua and Queenstown
BUNGYS AND SWINGS
If you want to add something to your bucket list, a Bungy Jump or Swing should be it. With New Zealand being the adventure capital of the world, you’re spoiled for choices. Throughout both islands there are 6 huge jumps ranging between 43m to 134m and 4 swings so you’ll be sure to get the heart rate pumping. Go solo or share the thrill with someone and go tandem.
Areas: Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Queenstown
WHITEWATER RAFTING
With experienced guides you’ll be set for the adventure of a lifetime whether you choose to raft from Grades 1 to 5. Grade 1 is more of a soft relaxing rafting option with no rapids or white water which kids are most welcome to join on most trips. Feel free to jump it up a few gears and go grade 5 being the most extreme with a 7m waterfall. No experience is needed as everyone is in the same boat and are mostly also first time rafters.
Areas: Rotorua, Taupo, Christchurch, Franz Josef and Queenstown
