Adventure

If adventure is your middle name get ready for the trip of a lifetime. New Zealand has every adventure sport you could wish for (and some you’ve never even heard of!), all set amidst jaw-dropping scenery.

This is the place where one day you can be snowboarding down a slope and the next day sailing through a marine reserve. Today you’re mountain biking through the rainforest and tomorrow you’re trekking along a glacier, or swooping, whooping and sliding down a massive sand dune.

There are tours from one end of the country to the other guiding you through a mindboggling range of experiences. From off road driving to paragliding; from heli skiing to horse riding. If novelty is your thing, try blokarting, zorbing or blackwater rafting.

And after skydiving over some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, what better way to finish your trip than by throwing yourself off a bridge in the global home of the bungy.
