Adventure

Bungy was turned into a business here, and the adventure list keeps growing: jet boats, canyon swings, skydives, rafting and caving.

Where to go

• Queenstown Bungy, canyon swings, jet boats and skydiving.
• Rotorua White-water rafting on the Kaituna (including a seven-metre waterfall), luge and ziplines.
• Waitomo Black-water rafting through glowworm caves.
• Taupō Skydiving over the lake and bungy above the Waikato River.
• Franz Josef Heli-hikes on the glacier.

Good to know

Use operators with a good safety record and follow the guides’ briefing. Most activities have weight and age limits, so check before booking.
