7 Adventurous Activities That You Need To Try

By Wild Kiwi Team published on 14 August 2017

If you’re feeling adventurous or are just really keen to try something totally new, here is just a small taste of some of the activities you can have a go at on your Wild Kiwi Tour!

1. Waitomo Glow-Worm Caves

Okay, perhaps not the most wildly adventurous activity, but following trails through caves probably isn’t something you get to do every day, especially when said caves are beautifully illuminated by thousands of glow-worms. This is an experience that really has to be seen to be believed, and we think being there in person is a million times more impressive than photographs could ever capture!

2. Go White Water Rafting On Your Wild Kiwi Tour

New Zealand is the home of the bungy jump, so you know it’s going to be pretty special.

4. Zip Lining

Wheeee!!! One of my favorite things we did in NZ. I absolutely loved the zipline tour with @rotoruacanopytours and highly recommend it! #I❤️NZ #KiwiWannaBe #ZiplineNZ #NZMustDo #PureNewZealand #TheMattAndKrisShow #EducationalAndFun

Zoom through the air, taking in the incredible views of Lake Rotorua as you descend 385 metres down Mt Ngongotaha. Oh, and you can even race a friend if you’re feeling competitive!

5. Jet Boating

Hold on to your hats (actually, probably don’t wear a hat!), you’re in for a thrilling 85kph ride through some of the most stunning landscapes on earth. That’s pretty special, right?!

6. Skydiving

Astronaut Chris Hadfield snapped some ridiculously stunning views of New Zealand from space and sky diving will give you a little taste of that and so much more. One of the most incredible adrenaline rushes you could ever possibly have if you’re up for it we’re pretty sure you’ll love the experience (or at least love being able to say you’ve done it!).

7. Dive Beneath The Water’s Surface

You’ve quite literally flown through the air, so why not have a peek beneath the surface too? It’s the only logical next step, right?! With stunning coastlines, gorgeous islands, wrecks, tropical reefs and marine reserves to explore, there’s an underwater paradise right there just waiting to welcome you for a little while.
