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 you’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, you’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, you’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 1950’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 Zealand’s fasted jet boats, and the first to boast the ability to ‘sprint’. What’s more, full 360 degree turns make the adventure even more spine-tingling.

Just across the park from the Agrojet is Rotorua Bungy. If you’re looking for a pure thrill, then Screen Shot 2015-05-25 at 14.00.05a bunny jump is definitely for you.

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! You’re placed inside a harness, covering most of your body, and raised a crazy 40 metres in the air. You’re then in control of your own fate as you’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!
