Canyoning In Queenstown

Canyoning is an adrenaline-inducing adventure. Also its best way to explore the unique canyons beneath Queenstown’s ancient beech forests. Abseil down waterfalls, slide down naturally formed slides into plunge pools, and take in the views as you zipline through the spectacular landscape. This is one adventure on your trip to New Zealand you’re not going to forget in a hurry!

OGO In Rotorua

Who doesn’t want to roll down a giant hill in an inflatable ball? Opt for a straight run or a zig-zag path through some of Rotorua’s spectacular scenery. And you can even chuck a bit of water in there for some added fun.
