Jet Boating
 
Departing from Whakahoro, takes you on a magical jet boat tour into the “Valley of Abandoned Dreams”. Travel back in time through spectacular scenery, unspoiled native forest and fern clad gorges. Listen to tales of the Maori and pioneering people who once tried to tame this land. Alighting at the Mangapurua Landing, enjoy a tranquil walk through native bush, before reaching the world famous “Bridge to Nowhere”.
   
 
Rafting
 
The magical waters of the Whakapapa River provide one of nature's finest, fun-filled roller coaster rides. Imagine rafting lumpy glides through pristine pools and breathtaking gorges. Between the paddling and excitement, observe the native blue duck, the mystical ancient beech forest, the fantails and swallows flitting for surface insects. Listen to the chortling of a veritable potpourri of birds above the music of rushing water. See stealthy trout dart for cover as you pass.
