NZ RiverJet – Jetboat Thermal Safari
Enjoy a 2 ½ - 3 hour jet boat excursion down the Waikato River through the spectacular Tutukau Gorge where the canyon walls rise dramatically up to 50 metres above the water. Your experienced Hamilton jet boat operator will thrill you with 360 degree spins. The tour includes entry into Orakei Korako thermal reserve as well, which is an amazing place to walk around for a while.
Bookings are essential.
NZONE – Skydive
It takes a certain kind of person to step out of an aircraft at 15,000ft into thin air. The fact you are harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster makes little difference!! With experienced operators like NZONE you can enjoy the thrill of tandem skydiving – hopefully on the way down you get to experience the scenic landscape of the numerous lakes and bush covered hills surrounding Rotorua. Excursions depart from Rotorua Airport and bookings are required.
Kaituna Cascades – Raft and Kayaking Expeditions
With possibly the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall, 6/7 metres (21 ft), the Kaituna River is a whitewater enthusiast’s dream come true.
Flowing through an extremely steep and narrow canyon, in 50 minutes you will paddle 14 awesome drops, including two waterfalls and some great rapids.
The river is only 15 minutes from Rotorua and with your pickup and return to Blue Lake TOP 10 Holiday Park, your rafting adventure takes only 2 – 2 ½ hours allowing you plenty of time for other sightseeing options.
