Adventure Playground Rotorua

If you’ve been living under a rock for your entire life, we’re here to tell you that Rotorua is practically synonymous with fun. The north island town is brimming with action-packed and belly-ache laugh-inducing activities, and our favourite pick of the lot is Adventure Playground. This incredible venue is where all your childhood dreams come to life and more. 

No trip to Rotorua is complete without stopping at Adventure Playground. Situated in the beautiful Mount Ngongotaha region, this thrill-drenched venue spans over rolling farmland is scattered with native bush and teeming with friendly wildlife. It’s the ideal place for anyone looking to satisfy their inner-adrenaline junkie while also embracing the beautiful scenery. The venue offers 4×4 self-drive buggies, allowing you to tackle 750 acres of rugged terrain on old forestry tracks dating back to the 1930s.

If you’re not game enough to get behind the wheel of one of these powerful machines, you can also take things a little slower by hopping in the back seat of a buggy driven by a professional guide. During your time at Adventure Park, you can also opt for a guided horse trek. Let these experienced guides take you across the wild farmland and past spectacular views of Lake Rotorua, the city and beyond.

After snapping enough pictures to last a lifetime (and to leave all your Instagram followers green with envy), why not try your hand at clay shooting? Under the watchful eye of the fully licensed instructors, you can test your Xbox skills on real-life, moving targets. Armed with a well-stocked 12-gauge semi-auto shotgun, this is an activity for all levels of shooter.
