Action day out in New Zealand

"I hadn’t been up the Sky Tower in a long time. It was only when I had a friend visiting from Australia that I revisited Auckland’s most famous landmark. We ventured up the tower to the main observation level and checked out the 360 degree view, and what an amazing view it is. The thick glass sections of flooring were a highlight."

"It had been years since I last caught the ferry across to Devenport but the day was sunny and it seemed like a good way to spend a lazy Sunday. It cost $11 for a return journey which I considered to be a bargain. The trip takes about 15 minutes and it was nice being out on the water amongst the fresh ocean air. Service is professional and if you’re in the mood for nibbles there’s a small cafe/bar."

"Have you ever seen an overweight climber? I haven’t and there’s a reason for that. Climbing is a great way to build your back, biceps and it works your core like crazy. To top it off scaling a cliff side with little more than your own two hands is pretty dam manly. Clip’n’Climb is perhaps Auckland’s premier climbing facility. It is like a theme park for climbers, the walls are all themed and enticing. The auto belay system also has to be mentioned as this makes the whole activity easier! Step up and give it a go."

"The last time that I visited Waiwera was on a school trip and I got a blood nose from the black hole. Regardless it was a good time. Since then Waiwera has been through a little bit of a transformation. Over the years it has morphed into more of a health spa. For OSH reasons only two of the slides remain. It may have lost a bit of the fun factor but as an adult it's still a relaxing day away from the big smoke."

"Rainbow’s End might be Auckland’s most famous attraction! Located in Manakau, it is the country’s largest theme park. Plus this Halloween they're hosting a Halloween themed event; Night Frights. They're turning off all the lights and letting you ride in the dark, creating an even more fun and terrifying experience perfect for Halloween!"
