It bills itself as a "unique NZ experience," and it really is. Once the kids have had their fill of loveable farm animals, they can indulge in some serious white-knuckle activities at Agroventures. Not for the faint of heart, the Agrojet (which claims to be the fastest jet-boat ride in New Zealand) completes a one-kilometer course at speeds up to a terrifying 100 kmph (a speed that it reaches in just 4.5 seconds). Anyone older than ten (under 15's need parental consent) is invited to throw him or herself off the 43-meter-high bungee platform. Teens game for more adventure can test their nerves (and yours) even further on the Swoop, which includes a free fall at 130 kmph toward the ground. Less terrifying (but no less fun) attractions for older kids come in the form of the Freefall Extreme, which suspends the rider in a column of air, and the Shweeb, where pedal power lets you travel at speeds of up to 45 kmph and swinging around the bends in your pod is all part of the fun. Those still standing can have even more fun in a Zorb.
