New Zealand's 5 Best Adventure Activities - Erika's Travel Tips

Are you thinking about travelling to New Zealand this year?

If you are but not sure what activities are available, here are some tips on New Zealand’s 5 best Adventure activities.


 

Auckland Bridge Climb

The first activity in New Zealand for your list is the Auckland Bridge Climb; travellers remember to take your camera as the sight on top of the bridge is breathtaking, as you will get a picturesque view of the agricultural scenery and enchanting mountain landscapes. You will also have the opportunity to take photos of travellers bungy jumping off the bridge too.

Bungy Jumping

You can not go to New Zealand and not go bungy jumping!

AJ Hackett pioneered Bungy Jumping 25 years earlier in Queenstown; package deals include the Kawarau Bridge Bungy and the Nevis Bungy. Kawarau Bridge, ideal for beginners at 43 metres high and Queenstown’s only tandem Bungy, gives you the opportunity to bob above the water, dip into the water or get completely drenched. The Nevis Bungy, reaches 134 metres and has a ground rush of 8.5 seconds. In order to reach Nevis Bungy there is a private mountain access road that only allows 4WD.
