I first heard of Agroventures from Michelle Phan. (the YouTube Make-up Queen) I knew it was going…read moreto be cool so I was super excited when we spent a few hours at Agroventures. New Zealand is the land for adrenaline pumping adventures. Agroventures doesn't disappoint. They have 5 different activities, The Agrojet, (a raceboat that goes super fast) Freefall Extreme, (feels like you're falling through the sky) Swoop, (super swing) Shweeb, (race around a track in a pedal operated pod) and Rotorua Bungy. (Bungee jump) I went with a large group of mostly boys. They offer group discounts and combos if you buy 1 or 5 activities. Most of us did the Shweeb, though some did the other crazy activities. The Shweeb is unique and the only one in the world as of now. You are placed into this pod-like contraption and race your opponent by pedaling the pod to race around a track. It's not as easy as it looks or sounds! I don't have the speed or stamina like teenage boys! I had a great time at Agroventures and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adrenaline rush!

Four of us had a great day with these guys. We did the hike / 14km bike ride / glow-worm kayak…read morecombo, and loved it all. The guys are considerate and safety orientated.

They then make sure to go through the basics of rafting and what to do if the raft flips over! It's a short 2 min drive to the rafting start point but once you're in the water it is so much fun! It has been raining pretty hard, but the whole experience was great! There were two shorter waterfalls and of course Tutea falls. It seemed intimidating, but our guide Elvis helped guide us and everything went great! They even got some good pictures of us! We even had the opportunity to get in the water and feel the rapids first hand! Overall great experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a thrill!

Expect to get wet so bring a towel and swimwear. They have changing facilities on site. We also enjoyed the spa to warm up in between runs.

Did I think I was going to die? Hard yes. But did I have the best time? Absolutely!…read more We came at the very beginning of August, which is winter in NZ, and we were a little worried about how cold we were going to be. I think I it's the best time to go! There was one other party of two there, so check in was super quick. The changing rooms had heaters in them, which was so nice! And they have hot tubs at the top and bottom of the hill for you to jump into. We did the package with two rides. The straight down, and the one with the switchbacks. We were given the option of going in our own balls, or going together. We opted to ride together for both and I'm glad we did! There is water inside the ball with you so you do NOT flip over head over heels, it's like a hamster in a ball. You stay upright. They let us bring our phone inside and we recorded our second ride and watching the video back is so freaking funny. The staff were all kind and helpful and we had the best time!

I loved my Pure Cruise experience in Rotorua, New Zealand! Matt Horder and the rest of the crew…read morewere so delightful. I did this yesterday. It was offered as a tour excursion by Royal Caribbean. We took the catamaran on Lake Rotoiti and stopped at the Rotoiti Hot Pools. The catamaran was in perfect condition. I immediately wanted to sit on the net in the front..get this--they have bean bags to sit on and blankets as well! We were gliding on Lake Rotoiti and the weather was amazing this day. The hot pools were nice and well-maintained with changing areas and bathrooms. I didn't see any extra staff there. For a medium-sized group from a cruise ship, there were enough pools to lounge in ranging from cool to medium-hot to very hot. There's also a small water slide! On our way back to the resort, we had gourmet sandwiches. There's also coffee and tea. You have to pay for other drinks. I am juice lover and it would have been nice if the cruise offered some complimentary sugar drinks..I mean apple juice or lemonade. Hey man-I'm spoiled by the cruise! By the way, we had four At Sea days from a stop in Melbourne, Australia all the way to Tauranga, New Zealand. This was not in the original plan as we were going to go to South New Zealand. BUT...this excursion was worth it!

I was saving something really special for my 100th review, and OGO Rotorua is it!…read more Although my experience with Ogo was a few months ago, it's as if it happened yesterday. I had been wanting to go zorbing for so many years after seeing it for the first time on some TV show, and finally a dream trip to New Zealand became a reality, which means I was finally going to get to hurl myself down a hill inside a giant inflatable plastic sphere filled with water! Totally normal dream, right?! Before arriving in Rotorua from California, I did a lot of research on zorbing. Ogo's online reservations were easy and their website was very helpful, unlike another zorbing company who never even replied to me after I contacted them through their website twice AND emailed them directly once. Ogo's customer service was by far superior! The amenities onsite were also great: changing rooms with blow dryers, cubby holes/shelves to store bags, clothes, and personal items, hot tubs and heaters to keep you warm before/after your "ride," and lots of couches, chairs, and beanbags to relax in and watch your friends or other people roll down the hill! They even give you a GoPro camera to use if you want or need one, which allows you to film yourself going down the hill. We ended up purchasing a DVD with our photos and video, which were very reasonable priced as well. Since it wasn't too busy the day we were there, and we had so much fun going down the zigzagging trail separately, we decided to buy another round and go down the straight track together in one Ogo ball...SO. MUCH. FUN!!! Zorbing with Ogo Rotorua was literally the highlight of our 10-day trip to New Zealand, and trust me, we did a lot of fun and adventurous stuff there! I still remember how much my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much, and how sore my abs were from laughing the whole way down the hill! What an amazing experience...Highly recommend!

Super fun! We did the newer course that makes you go airborne briefly. It's a wet ride, not…read moreavailable dry. We didn't know that because it doesn't mention it online so we didn't bring our bathing suits. We rented shorts and a shirt for $7 each. The ride lasts for around 60 seconds and was $85. So it's pretty steep. The view is beautiful although you don't get to enjoy it while you're in the ball because you're rolling around and it's kind of foggy. It's really fun and I just kept laughing the entire time. There are hot tubs you can sit in afterwards and that was great because there were 3 of us taking individual rides so we could wait on the others in comfort. I would recommend forming out the extra money to do more than 1 ride. It's pretty expensive for something that's so short lived but we all thought it was worth it. The staff was super nice and friendly.
