With your wonderful gift we'll spend a night on the town, dance, laugh, and let loose wherever we desire.

The Dragons Blackwater Rafting Experience is a thrilling and unforgettable experience with mystery, adventure and natural treasured formations. The cave rafting is flexible and can provide as much or little challenge as you are comfortable with. The various ways to go through the cave system allow all ages and abilities to raft along the different floating sections on tubes across flat, slow moving water. And as all activities are optional, each participant can go at his own pace. The wild, natural caves are illuminated by the light of a galaxy of glowworms in the roof over the subterranean lakes. The enchanting formations offer amazing possibilities such as slide down an underground waterfall, cuddle through the Love Tunnel or ride the 100 foot natural rock hydro slide. You spend 2 hours underground after a 30 minutes interpretive rainforest walk getting to the caves. A hot drink and snack welcomes you back to reality.

Our world renowned all day option takes you into superb scenery, deep in the heart of the glacier. The excellent step-cutting skills of your guide allows you to travel through the most spectacular and challenging glacier terrain imaginable, satisfying even the most ardent of adventurers. Gaining confidence as you go and with a total of 5-6 hours on the ice you could find yourself in all manner of situations, from squeezing through tight blue crevasses or sliding through ice caves to ‘franz shuffling’ down near vertical walls of ice.

The Tongariro Crossing is a challenging walk taking 7-8 hours covering a distance of 17 km one way. The Tongariro Crossing starts as a gentle gradient up the Mangatepopo Valley to a steep climb to the saddle between the active Volcanoes of Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe, across South Crater and finally climbing up to Red Crater, the highest point (1886m) on the track. Then descending down to the Emerald Lakes (a group of water filled explosion craters), over Central Crater to the Blue Lake (an old vent) sidling around North Crater past the Ketetahi Hut and the Ketetahi Hot Springs down through the native forest to the car park.

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!
