If pictures speak louder than words, then our video section is ready to shout at you. Check it out for some of the activities awaiting you.
Fair warning though, you may start to feel a little nervous. The activities included are listed below.
Adrenaline Activities
New Zealand has some of the most insanely ridiculous travel activities. It is the perfect destination for that once in a life time opportunity to tick off all the things on your bucket list. Bungee jumps (which was invented in New Zealand by AJ Hackett), drop zones, White Water Rafting Trips, Jet Boats, River Sledging this list seems almost endless.
If you want to add activities or custom build you can choose from the following:
AJ Hacket Bungee packs (Australasias highest the Nevis (134m), The worlds first bungee in Queenstown or the Ledge, 400 metres above Queenstown.
White Water Rafting the worlds highest rafting drop (9metres)
Skydiving Lake Wanaka
Tamaki Maori Cultural village and face a live Haka!
Glacier Climbing at Franz Josef
If you request the trip notes on this trip (red button) we will email you more info on the individual activities.
Some activities will be weather dependent and you might have to stay one or two days longer in one place to be able to do them. Although this mainly applies to Skydiving. Having said that our partners, Nzone, opperate two drop zones in New Zealand, so you can choose to do it in Queenstown or Rotorua (we recommend Queenstown because the views are simply stunning).
Much more than just thrill seeking...
The adrenaline tour is not just about pushing your comfort zone, it is a tour of New Zealand too! New Zealand has so much to offer the visitor. The country has a justly deserved reputation for being an unforgettable destination. It is absolutely stunning.
Jaw dropping geology, from glaciers to rain forests, Fjords (Marlborough sound) to mountains. Citys, coastlines and unique flora and fauna. When you are not going nuts in Queenstown, there is alot of country packed into 2 relatively small islands (New Zealand is compatible in size to the UK).
Depending on the pass you choose, you will cover amazing places.
Transport Included
New Zealand is a well established backpacker destination, and there are a couple of options to get you around. We actually recommend 2 different companies to handle the transportation in New Zealand, depending upon the experience you are looking for.
If you want to know which one may be better for you feel free to ask us for an honest opinion. We like them both, but for different reasons - and we know one is better suited to a different style of traveller but in summary:
Kiwi Experience, a bit younger travellers:18-24 and up for a party.
Stray, a bit more off the beaten path probably better suited to 20 - 30+
As a general rule Kiwi is probably suited to the younger travellers - 18 to 23 and is more party. Stray is probably suited to 25 and up to 35, and is definitely for the more adventurous who wants to see more remote "off the beaten path" parts of New Zealand.
Accommodation packs Included
We include 20 nights of accommodation and there is an option to include more nights. This works on a voucher system: you will need to confirm your stay at the hostel one day before. This you can do online...or much easier with the bus driver. They are very helpful!!
When you hop on the bus in the morning, you confirm with him if you need accommodation for the night and give him a voucher number. Easy as that!
