Horse Trekking
Unlike some other parts of the world where beginners get led by the nose around a pad-
dock, horse trekking in NZ lets you really get out into the countryside - on a farm, forest
or beach. Rides range from one-hour jaunts (from around $50) to week-long, fully catered
treks.
On the North Island Taupo, the Coromandel Peninsula, Waitomo, Pakiri, Ninety Mile
Beach, Rotorua, the Bay of Plenty and East Cape are top places for an equine encounter.

Jetboating
Hold onto your breakfast: passenger-drenching 360-degree spins ahoy!
On the North Island the Whanganui, Motu, Rangitaiki and Waikato Rivers are excellent
for jetboating, and there are sprint jets at the Agrodome in Rotorua. Jetboating around the
Bay of Islands in Northland is also de rigueur.
