Top 10 Adventure Experiences

Australians are thrill seekers by nature. Slyly let them in on the cheeky fact that we’ve got all the thrills, in one place.

1. Ziplining

Give an Australian a taste of the agent life with a ziplining experience in New Zealand. Fly above Waiheke Island or enjoy an immersive wilderness experience through the treetops in Rotorua. Gaze at the Remarkables mountain range in Queenstown, or combine zip lining with river tubing and glow worms on the West Coast. The perfect combination of adrenalin, nature and speed.

2. Casually mention our epic canyoning

Get Australians into the agent mindset by mentioning the extreme canyoning New Zealand has to offer. Canyoning is among New Zealand’s wildest adventures and is staged in remote mountain locations around Auckland, Coromandel, Nelson, Canterbury and Wanaka.

3. Heli-skiing? It doesn’t get more agent than this

Pure adrenaline. Pure agent. This is for Australians seeking the agent life themselves skiing in fresh powder snow. Tell them about the epic flight to the top of our mountains, before they’ll make their way speedily down our breathtaking slopes on the ultimate guided heli-ski adventure.

4. Where zorb adventures await

Seriously mention to an Australian that New Zealand is not-so-serious. A zorb adventure will see them hopping inside a big plastic ball (orb) and roll down a hill, with or without water. This iconic activity is a must-do for thrill seeking Australians.

5. Bungy jump is a must-do for the extreme Australian

Agents across the world will know that bungy jumping is one of our biggest attractions. And it never disappoints. Suggest an exhilarating leap of faith with the original Kawerau Bungy site or New Zealand's highest at the top of the Nevis (both in Queenstown).

6. Get them to explore the scenic off-roads

Encourage your Australian friends and family to hold tight and head out on a scenic wilderness off-road adventure on one of New Zealand’s comprehensive network of back-country roads and tracks.

7. Discover underground caves

Get Australians to travel and explore a little further to some of the most challenging and spectacular caving systems in the world. New Zealand is top of the list for spelunkers (cavers). Australians can walk or float (black-water rafting as it is referred to) through the spectacular Waitomo Caves or enjoy guided underground adventures in Nelson.

8. Rafting

Give Australians an agent experience they’ll remember. From the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world (7m) in Rotorua to rivers where rapids range from a gentle grade 1 to an extreme grade 5, New Zealand has it all. Tongariro River in Lake Taupō, the wild West Coast and Queenstown are among the popular rafting spots in the country.

9. Jet Boating

Adrenaline. As an agent, you’ll be well-versed with this. So suggest a jet-boat ride through Lake Taupo's thundering Huka Falls, or negotiate 360-degree spins on one of Queenstown’s spectacular rivers.

10. Skydiving

The ultimate views, from the ultimate height. Give Australians a view of Aotearoa form the clouds above either in WanakaQueenstownLake TaupoAuckland and Bay of Plenty.
