Lots of fun family activity and adventure, all in one place! Experience guided ATV 4 wheel quad bike tours, ride the world’s only Skywire flying fox, play Paintball, take a Maori Culture Tour or ride in the amphibious Argo.
Quad Bike Fun - drivers must be over 16. Children can be taken as passengers only, depending on the confidence and discretion of the driver. Several beautiful rides to choose from, ranging from 1 ½ to 3 hours.
Skywire Flying Fox – flyers must be over 1.2m height. Securely fastened in one of four racing car seats in the Skywire chair, your ride takes you both forwards and backwards for nearly ten minutes of thrilling adventure. The first 800m freewheeling drop can reach 100kph yet many say the fast backwards run is the most unforgettable moment.
Paintball – minimum age 10. The ultimate game of tag in natural forest surroundings. Two teams compete to "capture" each other's flag in a strategic make-up of trees and structures. Players use air-propelled "paintguns" to mark and eliminate opponents with non-toxic paintballs. This is a group activity. If you don’t have enough people for a private game, you can be teamed up with others.
The Amphi Argo – no age restriction. Thrilll to high speed river crossings, 360 degree spins and surging through mud holes in our eight wheel amphibious all terrain vehicle.
Touch the Sea Aquarium has been specifically created to allow a close up experience of New Zealand sea and shoreline life. Kids just love it!
They can learn about the magic of the underwater world in the ‘deep sea’ education room, touch an inquisitive fish, admire the ever graceful ray, or experience the thrill of a shark close up. The ‘touch pools’ allow them to get their hands wet and feel the textures of the marine life.
The aquarium will leave you and the kids with a lasting impression and a new appreciation of ocean life.
Our shop on site also has a great range of ocean themed gifts, toys, and keepsakes.
