For the ultimate thrill, though, there is the free-fall skydive from 3500m. Harnessed to a
tandem master, the experience starts with a scenic flight, then comes the free fall at 200km per

Wanaka.
Caving & Rafting
Over recent years caving, black-water (underground) rafting and abseiling trips have enabled
thousands to explore the extensive cave systems that riddle both North and South Islands. The
best known of these is the Waitomo Caves region, but caving may also be enjoyed in the Bay
of Islands, on the West Coast of the South Island in the Paparoa National Park, and in the
Takaka Hill area in Golden Bay.
