Adventure activities in New Zealand

Paradise adventurer par excellence, New Zealand has much more to offer than beautiful scenery and relaxing. It is also the place where we can find more adrenaline discharge per square meter than anywhere else in the world. Undoubtedly, Queenstown, known as the world capital of adventure sports, up to its name by far.

Various adventure activities that can be found in New Zealand may be typical of the country or in other well-spread.

For which we know more, consider New Zealand as a paradise for surfers, since their costs, especially in the west, waves are very disappointed not practicable to any lover of the surf, especially those that we always practice in the Mediterranean !

What we call bungee jumping, called Bungee Jumping, is typical in New Zealand, and people pulled with ropes tied to their feet from a bridge over a river, but also from the top of the tower in Auckland, the SkyTower to over 250 meters above the city ... Without words.

Skydiving, jumping from a plane, white water rafting (and black), kayaking, cave exploration, scuba diving ... Are already known from other activities that can be found in New Zealand around.

Although true grace lies in the "local". And if not, I say of Zorbing? Quilted getting into a ball, or tied into it and release it so that you roll down a slope into endless. To take the first pap, of course.

Other adventure activities? Well, we have the Fly By Wire, which is mounted on a sort of a flying apparatus with a turbine after being caught by a cable from a crane high. When the motor is activated, this piece takes you to fast speeds in a pendulum-like motion of the pirate ship. Only this time you have controls, and the feeling of flying is complete!

For those who are not quite with it, and what is the final JetBoating. Crawl through a river that flows through very narrow cliffs of about 90 km / h brushing against the riverbed and the rocks and doing pirouettes and spins 360 degrees. If not sound enough, but I assure you it is. It is not cheap, but we must try!

Conluyendo, the madness of the Kiwis and benefit from his love for nature and creativity has made New Zealand one of the highest potential for adventure sports, a place to see a man flying through spend anywhere seems to be part of "normal."
