Trip Details
As you stand on a precipice, high above canyon peaks and inches away from an endless drop, the rush of blood coursing through you may hitch your breath. But as you look out toward the Southern Alps around you, majestic against a clear, deep blue sky, the scenery is what will truly take your breath away.
After taking the plunge and plummeting toward sparkling lakes and tall pines, the adrenaline rush will make you feel more alive than ever before. And as you swing from the rope attached to your harness, taking in the incredible views below you, you’ll know you can finally tick bungy jumping off your bucket list.
Taking the ultimate leap of faith gets no better than in New Zealand, the bucket list capital of the world. All the world’s landscapes and most extraordinary adventures are found in this epic destination, a playground for the fearless.
Live more and conquer your fears as you choose your own New Zealand adventures with this thrilling vacation package!
Auckland
Auckland Sky Tower Walk
Start your adventure in Auckland, the world-famous City of Sails. You’ll spend 2 nights in a 4-star hotel based perfectly near the heart of the city. Surrounded in black sand beaches, rolling green volcanic cones and a stone’s throw away from stunning islands, Auckland beautifully encapsulates the contrasts of New Zealand’s unique landscapes and urban city life.
Decorating the city skyline is the Sky Tower, where you can conquer your fear of heights with bungy jumping or a guided walk scaling the top of the tower. For an extra dose of adrenaline, scale the Auckland Harbour bridge on a guided climb or bungy jump only inches away from the gulf waters! Coupled with breathtaking views over the harbor, these thrilling adventures are totally worth it.
You may want to head away from the city and kayak to neighboring Rangitoto Island. Home to incredible walking trails through the world’s largest Pohutukawa forest, this volcanic island is paradise for nature lovers. Walk on the blackened lava fields, explore unique lava caves and keep an eye out for native bird life. Though you’ll still be able to see the city skyline from Rangitoto, you’ll feel like you’re an entire world away.
After your adventures in Auckland, board a luxury coach and ride through New Zealand’s agricultural townships. You’ll stop at the iconic Waitomo Caves and journey through the stalactites and stalagmites of these underground caverns. At the Glowworm Grotto, embark on a serene boat ride through the dark caverns, illuminated by the fascinating blue glow of a thousand glowworms.
Rotorua

You’ll continue on your coach ride into Rotorua, the “Sulfur City.” Known the world-over as New Zealand’s indigenous Maori cultural capital, you’ll experience this rich culture for yourself at Te Puia.
See the incredible geysers and bubbling mud pools that are part of Rotorua’s unique geothermal landscape. Witness artful woodcarving, weaving displays and other traditional crafts practiced by Maori artists. The warm hospitality of this Polynesian culture will leave a lasting impression.
You’ll spend 3 nights in Rotorua, packed with extreme adventures unique to New Zealand.
Get your hands on an Agroventures Flexi pass and get your blood pumping on up to five one-of-a-kind adrenaline rides:
- Strap yourself into a harness, hoisted over 130 feet into the sky, and swing up to 80 miles per hour on the Swoop – it’s your favorite playground swing intensified times a million!
- Reach speeds over 60 miles per hour on New Zealand’s fastest jet boat – the Agrojet!
- Take on the Shweeb Racer, a human powered racing track in suspended aerodynamic racing pods!
- Take the ultimate leap of faith on the Rotorua Bungy!
- Experience an incredible free fall with wind speeds up to 136 miles per hour!
See more untouched New Zealand nature with a tranquil journey through verdant green canopies, or explore the geothermal wonders of the Waimangu Volcanic Valley. However you spend your time in Rotorua is certain to be an unforgettable blend of thrilling adventures and otherworldly scenery.
Queenstown
Now get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush in Queenstown, the “Adventure Capital of the World.”
You’ll spend 4 nights in a 4-star hotel right in the center of the action. Surrounded in snow-capped peaks and home to stunning Lake Wakatipu, extreme adventures cannot have a more beautiful setting. You may want to take it slow and recharge before your epic adventures with a soak in the Onsen Hot Pools, overlooking the magnificent Shotover Canyon. Or take a leisurely bike ride through historic towns, old railways and stopping at award-winning wineries on a cycling trip around the Central Otago region, only minutes away.
But if you’re ready to take on Queenstown at full throttle, a playground of exhilarating experiences is right at your fingertips.
- Dart through narrow cliffs on a thrilling jet boat ride through Shotover Canyon.
- Jump out of a plane and into the snowy mountains on a skydiving adventure.
- Be among the first to shoot across the Nevis Valley in the world’s most extreme catapult.
- Take scenic helicopter ride over breathtaking glaciers and panoramic views of the Southern Alps.
