Question

What is your ultimate New Zealand adventure activity and why?

Answer 1

Sea Kayaking at Milford Sound

I can't explain why - its just an experience one needs to experience to know how good it is!

Answer 2

Iwould love to go to the Bay of Islands coz I would love to swim with the dolphins. I would love to also go to Rotaroa to see the Haka.

Answer 3

mine would have to be when me my dad my uncle  my dads girlfriend and my sister where traveling up to Auckland and our car broke down we parked up by a BP and asked the man in the shop if we could use the toilet he said no WELL ILL SKIP THIS PART...........................then  we relized we had no food so for the night we had nothing to eat it was frezzing and it was a day or 2 before Christmas well i have learnt my lesson always be prepared for da worst and never sleep in a car wive someone that farts!!!!

Answer 4

I would like to pack my squeeze and my suitcase and tour NZ in a winnabago.

What an exciting place to holiday. It looks like it's so different to Australia, yet sooo close.

We all should do a pilgrimage there as rite of passage.

The exchange rate is great too. More bang for our Aussie dollar than just about anywhere.

Sad thing is that if it cost 5c to travel the world, we couldn't get out of sight at the moment.

Haahaha

Answer 5

Having lived in New Zealand and fallen in love with the place I think my ultimate adventure would have to be skiing Mt Ruapehu then white water rafting followed by a long soak in a natural hot pool in Rotorua , Ive done 2 out of these 3 but yet to do white water rafting.

Also loved our trek thru Arthurs pass.

Answer 6

The bungee jumping on the Auckland Harbour. It was my first time. I'd definitely would like to do it again. The visit in Milford Sound is also very nice. And one that I'll never forget is the visit in Cathedral Caves. So majestic.

Answer 7

Queenstown. The skiing, the adrenalin, the bars, the nightlife. it's awesome!

Answer 8

Heliskiing for sure is the ultimate NZ adventure activity.  It is really scary at first but when you get over the initial shock, adrenalin pulls you through and you can't wait to get back up there and do it again.

Heliskiing is definitely not for the faint hearted!

Answer 10

white water rafting because when ever i hear new zealand, i think of that, or bungee jumping. they make that beauty of a country stand out

Answer 11

just getting there is my dream adventure, never been overseas. N.Z is the only overseas  place I want to go to. 3 out of of 4 of my kids have been there, but not me.

I'd love to see those hot bubbly springs you have and v8's race at Hamilton, with Greg Murphy have the win.

I just want to get there.

Answer 14

Milford track. 100% of pure New Zealand beauty

Answer 15

Firstly I would have to say go to Queenstown; such an amazing place!!!  Every adventure activity you could ever think of (and more) you can organise in Queenstown.

I would highly recommend doing the 'Canyon Swing'.  It's a cross between a bungee jump and one of those swings at the local park..... except that there is a massive 60m free-fall drop.

It was such an awesome rush that I had to go and do it twice  :-)

Answer 16

I'd have to pick either Waitomo Caves as we did the ascending into the cave and the 4-5 hour tour I believe.  We also did the glacier hiking, white water rafting in Rotorua, and bungee jumping.  I loved caving the most though!

Answer 17

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

There are so many, and i havent even done all ...

how can anyone pick the best...

but i would have to say bungee jumping was such a rush... WOW!

Give it a go, even if your nervous, cos the experience far out ways the fear of not doing it! ;)

Answer 18

I grew up in NZ for 11 years, now im 13, its kind of boring, lots of countrys around the world dont even know NZ..:(

Answer 20

White water rafting down the Rangitata River on the South Island.  Stepping out of my comfort zone, kitting up in the cold, and the adrenalin rush of surfing the rapids was a pure thrill.  Didn't even feel the cold until the end.  It was amazing. I learnt a lot about rafting safety, and made new friends.

Answer 21

Great three weeks both islands in a camper van with Belinda Hawkins, who cares where we go, do you seriously think I is gonna remember?

Answer 22

breathing the fresh and clean air, under an amazing sky and endless wilderness

Answer 23

Answer 26

We had a helicopter ride and landing on a snow mountain with my hubby and 4 kids was absolutely fantastic.

We want to move to NZ, but don't know how to go about it.

Such a pretty country.

Answer 27

Hitchhiking. I hitchhiked across New Zealand from the North Island to the South and did everything from the glow worm caves to bungie jumping, jetboating, skydiving, but the true adventure was in the journey.

Answer 28

I believe Zorbing would be the best because i don't know anywhere else in the world where you can jump inside a plastic ball full off water and roll down the side of a hill. It sounds like it would be a real thrill and so exciting

Answer 29

Heli-biking & river sledging.

Answer 30

No place on earth has developed so many ways to pay for you to kill yourself than NZ. Maybe its the dramatic scenery, the beautiful lakes, the clean air, the awe inspiring mountains or simply the fine wine they produce but my goodness, you would die happy in NZ!!  Queenstown is the natural and obvious place for the adrenalin rush. Bungy jumping a bit tame for you? Well do the triple Bungy, the best most terrifying ways for your ankles and eyeballs to disengage in a single day. If you fell more like life on the ocean (river) wave is your thing then a jet boat along the canyon is the ultimate adrenalin rush. Months of training from the skippers of these jet propelled speed boats is supposed to induce the consumer into some level of confidence. Let me tell you, that heading full throttle into the sheer limestone gorge had me repeating this fact over in my head at the speed of light, only to open my eyes to find that in milliseconds we had swerved a few degrees and saved our heads from decapitation!! Fun yes, heart intact...just about!!

However the ultimate adventures of NZ do not simply reside in these easy to get thrill transactions. For me the ultimate was to wake up in the morning, step outside and look at the snow capped mountains, to stand still and hear nothing but the hum of insects and the birds swooping over translucent crystal blue lakes. New Zealand IS the adventure, not the destination. Hire a car, take a few weeks and some time to breathe in and out . Then you will begin to understand what it feels like to believe you are the only person on the planet....
