Now you can experience what it is like living in Antarctica (the coldest, driest and windiest continent) without leaving NZ. Take a journey with the family for a great day out that’s fun, exciting and full of interactive experiences. Here you can watch snow fall, experience a snow and ice storm in the four seasons room (a re-created environment of Antarctica), meet with the Little Blue Penguins and watch a 4D extreme show that simulates the stunning scenery and animal close-ups as if you were cruising through this ice continent! You can also delight in a ride on the ‘Hagglund’ – a highly authentic ride in an all-terrain amphibious Antarctic vehicle that replicates the conditions scientists experience as they travel over ice, across crevasses, up and down hills and through water. You will also see polar tents, how they eat plus get to try on some authentic Antarctic Extreme Cold Weather (ECW) clothing. An awesome day out for all ages, fantastic birthday party venue plus they offer great school holiday and education programmes.

    Sky Tower Bungy

    Sky Tower Sky Jump

    Take the leap—dive off the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere on the SkyJump and experience a rush like none other! While attached to a wire, base jump from a platform on the exterior of the famous Auckland Sky Tower—192 metres up—and plunge toward the ground at about 85kph! While you are falling fast, the drop from high on the tower down to the Sky City plaza lasts over 10 seconds!

    As you have to first sign in a Mission Control, gear up in your superhero-esque suit and make your way to the platform, however, the entire experience takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Once suited in you custom SkyJump flying suit and body harness, you head to the jump launch platform, where, from 192 metres, you can enjoy far-reaching views of Auckland, the beautiful City of Sails, and beyond.

    But don’t get too comfortable: your next move is to leap right off of NZ’s tallest manmade structure. For extreme thrills and an unforgettable experience, take the SkyJump, NZ’s highest jump! Invite your friends and family to watch your act of bravery! Even after taking the plunge and safely landing, the Auckland Sky Tower SkyJump is a high you won’t easily come down from!

Our favourite destinations…

Auckland

New Zealand’s economic heart and biggest city is also an exciting family visitor destination, situated on a sunny harbour with city beaches just minutes away from the CBD. Orientate yourself by heading down to Viaduct Harbour, wandering the waterfront, checking out the super yachts or enjoying the waterfront restaurants. Nearby is the must-visit Sky Tower along with excellent and kid-friendly museums and tons of exciting activities!

Wellington

Wellington is New Zealand’s capital. Here you will find New Zealand's parliament buildings, including the 'Executive Wing', more well-known as 'The Beehive' due to its distinctive shape. Another icon to look out for is the Wellington Tram, which was the main means of public transport between 1878 and 1964.

Christchurch

With a population of around 400,000 Christchurch, in Canterbury, is the South Island ’s largest city, yet much of it has the feel of a small town. Perhaps that’s why it’s known as the Garden City but with the expansive Hagley Park, Botanic Gardens, Port Hills, River Avon and numerous beaches the city certainly has an open, relaxed feel that’s hard to beat.

Queenstown

With its well-deserved reputation as New Zealand’s activity adventure capital you’ll never run out of activities and things to do in Queenstown, but you may run out of time! With breathtaking scenery, activities and festivals, cafes and restaurants, skiing and snowboarding, shopping and wineries, this lakeside alpine resort rates as one of the world’s top vacation destinations for all ages and seasons.

Rotorua

Rotorua sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua, one of sixteen lakes in the area formed by hundreds of thousands of years of eruptions from the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The area is renowned for its geothermal activity and top of any activity list is to see the bubbling mud pools that are around the region for yourself. The Waimangu Volcanic Valley offers a first hand insight into the devastation caused by the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera and is a great place to discover steaming volcanic craters and bubbling, spitting  pools of mud!

Nelson and Golden Bay

The Nelson and Golden Bay regions, at the top of the South Island, boast enviable sunshine hours, glorious sandy beaches, safe swimming spots, lots of wildlife to look out for, and Abel Tasman National Park - an absolute must to explore, on foot, by kayak, your own craft or watertaxi.  Nelson is home to a vibrant arts and crafts community with a fabulous Saturday market, and is close to award-winning wineries and family-friendly bike tracks to take you around the coast.

Hawkes Bay

Napier was rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake and is now known as NZ's Art Deco City.  The Art Deco influence has created a unique city – nowhere else can you see such a varied concentration of art deco style. With over 2,200 sunshine hours a year, Napier is a year-round holiday destination with countless activities to entertain the kids – there's days of entertainment on Marine Parade alone, plus numerous other family-friendly trips and activities.  Add to that the beaches, walks and flat cycle paths, outdoor cafes and entertainment, and you have a perfect holiday destination!

Northland

Beautiful, unspoiled beaches, fishing, historic gum fields, kauri forests – the Far North has it all. With subtropical temperatures, it's often known as ‘the Winterless north', with warm, humid summers and mild winters.
Gateway to the Bay of Islands, Paihia is a pretty, lively beachside town and a perfect base for your family holiday. It’s your start point for Bay of Island adventures including day cruises, sailing, kayaking, swimming with dolphins and reef or wreck diving.
