Essential Adventure Tour Package
A two and a half day action packed guided adventure tour in the North West Corner of Auckland
New Zealand is known for its beaches so the first thing we’re going to do is take you to one and throw you in the water at the iron sand beach - Muriwai Beach…with an experienced surfing instructor, of course! You’ll learn water safety, how to paddle your board, and most importantly how to catch a wave. Once you’ve dried off, we’ll warm you up with a hot Kiwi meal and you can even go and have soak in the therapeutic hot waters of Parakai Springs before heading to bed. We've booked you into a local Backpackers so we'll drop you there.
On your second day, enjoy a bit of a lie in and then explore the town of Helensville – walk the boardwalk or do some shopping. If you’re up for it, you could do some flying instead…either a Scenic Flight* taking Auckland’s scenery, or a hands on Fun Flying Experience* where you get to take control of a real plane. Either way, we’ll have a classic BBQ lunch at Parakai Airfield where we can watch the planes take off and land and maybe even see some skydiving.
After lunch, you’ll saddle up and take a horse trek up and through the nearby pine forest where you’ll be rewarded with breath taking views of the West Coast Beaches, and maybe a gallop along the beach. With a day like that behind you, you’ll be ready for more great Kiwi tucker and a good soak in the natural hot springs at Aquatic Park Parakai Springs.
Your last day is certainly not the least adventurous. In fact, you’ll be taking on all nine high ropes courses at Tree Adventures in Woodhill Forest (a native Pine forest) – the courses wind their way through the treetops and finish with an awesome flying fox! After that dose of adrenaline, we’ll take to you one of West Auckland’s wineries where we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch before heading back out on another exciting activity.
You’ll don a helmet and head out on a mountain bike journey over some of the 150km of mountain bike trails that run through the forest and cater to every level of rider out there from newbies taking a leisurely scenic ride to stacks of jumps and obstacles for the real adrenaline junkie. Once that’s over, relax on the scenic bus trip back to the city centre.
