Welcome to Rotorua, the North Island's premier tourist destination. Our tour starts with a 4pm pick up followed by a scenic drive to Rotorua. Relax over dinner and get to know some of the other adrenaline junkies on tour with you. 

Includes: Pick up in Auckland or Hamilton and dinner

We kick off the day with an exhilarating rafting adventure on the Kaituna River, home to the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall! After an adrenaline-filled morning on the water, we take to the treetops for an unforgettable ziplining experience. Once the excitement winds down, we return to our accommodation to relax and recharge, wrapping up the day with a delicious group dinner to celebrate the adventures we've shared.

Includes: Breakfast, packed lunch, rafting trip and zipline experience. 

After breakfast, we set off on a short drive to Taupō for a full day of adventure. Our first stop is Rapids Jet, where you’ll experience an exhilarating jet-boat ride through the powerful Aratiatia Rapids. Jet boating is a New Zealand invention and a true Kiwi icon, and this ride is one of the best in a country that takes its jet boating seriously!

Next, we make a quick stop at the impressive Huka Falls, where you’ll feel the raw power of thousands of litres of water rushing past every second. From there, we head to the shores of Lake Taupō for lunch beside New Zealand’s largest lake.

In the afternoon, it’s time to relax (or keep the thrills going) at DeBretts Spa Resort. Unwind in the warm natural hot pools, or choose the hydroslides if you’re still chasing excitement. For those wanting an extra adrenaline rush, there’s also the option to go bungy jumping or skydiving (own cost).

After a short drive back to Rotorua, we finish the day with a relaxed dinner in town, choosing from a burger or pizza, before enjoying our final evening together.

Includes: Breakfast, Aratiatia Jet, Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort and dinner

After breakfast, we begin our journey home, but not before one final adrenaline rush at Velocity Valley Adventure Park! Pick your favourite two from five heart-pounding activities and end the trip on a high! With unforgettable memories and a big smile, hop back on the bus for an early evening arrival back home.

Includes: Breakfast and two adventures at Velocity Valley
