Adventure tours and things to do
   New Zealand is the capital of adventure activities. Simply said, that's it. There's no other place on Earth that rivals the adrenalin pumping, blood curdling, self teaching activities as in New Zealand. From bungy jumping, white AND black water rafting, to sky diving, sledging and more, there is no way you can be bored in NZ.

Depending on how much time you have to spend, you may want to jump on one of the tour buses that travel throughout the country. At the moment, the main players are Stray, Kiwi Experience and Magic. Each company has their own vibe and it pays to do some research. If you're looking for a booze bus, then head Kiwi... if you're looking for adventure, then Stray off the beaten path. Here is a selection of tours that we recommend...
