February 28, 2016

Rotorua, based on the north island of New Zealand with its iconic hot pools surrounding Lake Rotorua, is not just a treat for the eyes. Sightseeing and walking are fantastic past times in this beautiful New Zealand town, but youโ€™re also free to enjoy the many exciting adrenaline activities that are on offer within close proximity to the centre.

Agroventures is no exception. It is a crazy adventure hub which has made quite a name for itself amongst residents and visitors. Here, youโ€™ll find an array of exciting and thrilling activities all in one beautiful, countryside location.

It is home to the speeding Agrojet boat, Xtreme Freefall, Swoop, Rotorua Bungy and the Shweeb, which is the only one of its kind in the world. So, youโ€™re guaranteed a fun-filled, memorable day with a plethora of activities to keep you buzzing and entertained! The park is true New Zealand - exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping thrills galore!

Agrojet is a form of the iconic jet boat, famous as being created in the country in the 1950โ€™s. It is a Kiwi gem, and its present in Rotorua for visitors to experience and enjoy. The focus of this jet boat, however, is not on the scenery. It is all about pure speed. The boat can reach incredible speeds of 100 kilometres per hour; making it one of New Zealandโ€™s fasted jet boats, and the first to boast the ability to โ€˜sprintโ€™. Whatโ€™s more, full 360 degree turns make the adventure even more spine-tingling.

Just across the park from the Agrojet is Rotorua Bungy. If youโ€™re looking for a pure thrill, then Screen Shot 2015-05-25 at 14.00.05a bunny jump is definitely for you. Stand on the edge, and propel yourself head-first 43 metres above the ground. Take in the stunning scenery around you before you experience the ultimate adrenaline rush. This is a great option for those doing their first bunny jump, as you have the option to do it with a friend, or be guided by a member of staff.

The Swoop is yet another stomach-dropping adventure, high above the Rotorua greenery and mountains. This experience, as claimed by some, is even more breathtaking than the bungy jump! Youโ€™re placed inside a harness, covering most of your body, and raised a crazy 40 metres in the air. Youโ€™re then in control of your own fate as youโ€™re free to pull the chord yourself, and propel you - and up to two other friends - through the air at 130 kilometres per hour. Prepare for screams; this really is the ultimate swing!

Have you ever been skyScreen Shot 2015-05-25 at 13.58.59diving? The feeling of freefall really is beyond words - and you can experience this at Agroventures, if youโ€™re still craving thrills after all the other fantastic rides! the Xtreme Freefall simulates the skydiving sensation very realistically; the technology is even used to train professional skydivers. Youโ€™re given a flight suit and goggles before being given some tips from the professional staff, who will ensure you fully enjoy the experience by incorporating some twists and spins into the freefalling madness!

The Shweeb is completely unique in itself - it is the only one of its kind in the whole world! It is just like a human-powered roller coaster, and you can even race your friends! Lie down and pedal as fast as you can; will you be able to beat your friend and the world record in the process? There is a magnificent $1000 prize for anyone who does! If you pedal hard enough, you can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour on the 600 metre race. Who will come out victorious?!

So, overall you have a selection of five crazily memorable adrenaline activities to fill your day with fun and madness. Experience thrill after thrill in this unique park which boasts a plethora of options, a true New Zealand adventure park suitable from the young to the old!

Traffic lights, safety cones and excavators line the […]
