FAMILY GETAWAY
Enjoy a range of activities at Waimarino Adventure Park. Here you and the family can go kayaking, peddle the ‘Pedallos’ or scale the climbing wall. If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can try New Zealand’s only kayak slide.
Duration: 1-4 hours.
From jet boating and 4WD rides to giant eels and kauri trees, Longridge Fun Park, located in Paengaroa, has something for everyone.
The jet boating ride offers 25 kilometres of adventure along the scenic Kaituna River. The ride is complete with 360 degree spins to add to the journey as you wind your way into a narrow native bush clad gorge.
Adventure enthusiasts can give a 4WD challenge a go. Longridge Fun Park has U-Drive vehicles that aim to thrill its drivers with 12 challenges on a 3 kilometre course. The cars are all professionally guided via a CB radio to ensure safety.
Away from the adrenalin activities, there is also a mini-farm tour option where visitors can meet and greet freshwater eels and feed farm animals such as baby lambs and piglets.
A tour through a working farm completes the range of activities at the fun park. During the tour of the 125 acre farm, visitors learn about kiwifruit, native kauri trees and sheep milking.
Duration: 1-4 hours.
