Adventure Travel in New Zealand

Planning some adventure travel in New Zealand? There is certainly plenty of it and we are to help you find it! This is a list of not only some of the best adventure travel in New Zealand, but a few other resources to help you plan your action packed vacation.

Flying Fox Ride
This one was one of the fastest ziplines in the world: a mile-long run above the Rangitikei River at speeds over 100 mph, nothing like the tree-to-tree kind. Mokai Gravity Canyon closed in 2016 and the company was wound up in 2020, so the flying fox is history - read it as a story rather than a booking.

5 Adventures in New Zealand
If you are looking for some adventure travel in New Zealand that you can’t do anywhere else in the world, this list should help. For something truly New Zealand, try sailing on a Americas Cup Sailboat. If you want something a little more exciting you could always swim with the dolphins or try tubbing in an underground cave.

BBH Card
The BBH Card was a discount card for backpacking hostels in New Zealand, good at over 340 of them at its peak. BBH has since wound down - the card was phased out and bbh.co.nz no longer belongs to the network - so budget on the hostels’ own rates instead.

Australia/New Zealand
If you are visiting New Zealand, odds are you’ll probably want to jet over to Australia as well. Get the low down on adventure travel in Australia by checking out our destination page.
