Love to snowboard go to snow planet! of course not the same as the mountain but still an awesome day out! Perfect for advanced and especially beginners! Perfect day out for the kids!

This place is awesome, such a fun, different thing to do with your Friday or Sat night! So much fun! And they have a bar! Win Win!

Really cool day out with a bunch of mates or with the family! Different obstacle courses that are so much fun! Full induction to ensure safety! I took my little cousin and he loved it! Awesome location - great day out!

No better way to relax than this! great range of pools and slides for those adventure seekers! Cannot beat relaxing while watching a movie! private spa's are the best!!!

This is without a doubt one of the most fun action packed activities to do! I am not a great paintball player but had an awesome time, staff were friendly and so helpful -  safety first! Must try

If you fancy getting a little active with the family then I’d like to introduce you to Mitre Peak Cruises. If you’d like to climb rocks, explore native forest and meat some local seals, then grab the cruise boat and head forth – Mitre Peak Cruises are the best in helping you explore the Milford Sound in a fun and educational way!

Take the family on a trip to Mildford Sound and explore the spectacular views. Together you’ll see wildlife, learn about the area and you may even get to see wildlife. This was one of my favourite ever NZ experiences.

Get the kids back in to nature at Kepler Oaks. They’ll love getting to know the horses, rabbit, sheep, chickens and dog – I certainly did! They’ll learn to care for animals, go pony cart riding and explore Lake Te Anau. An amazing experience.

Want to know the best places to explore in Te Anau and Fiordland? Well, I have the secret for you … jump on a Takitimu Tiki Tour and let them take you on a fun and informative two hour trip around the area. You’ll see amazing wildlife and fauna on your trip.

A ski field with amazing views, Mt Hutt is another family activity which is worth a try. The laidback vibe here is all about safety and learning to ski the right way, so if you’re kids are just learning, head to Mt Hutt this winter.

Awesome place to learn to ski before hitting the mountains.

Feeling adventurous? learn to windsurf! challenging and fun.

Great way to escape the city life for a day of adventure.

Went here for a mates birthday. So much fun, each game is based on movie-set paintball scenarios. The staff are fantastic and very helpful. Thanks for a great day, would highly recommend! 

Heaps of fun, definitely worth every cent!

Call me crazy but I love going out for an evening ride and then going off for dinner. It's different and always provides some laughs

A wonderful place for a day away from the busy pace of Auckland, cater to beginners or more advanced riders

Hang from the trees and learn to trust yourself and others, fun for business, family, or just the boys/girls

Go learn to surf, they have great instructors for all levels of ability

Go to the markets on a Sunday and then hiking in the Hunua Ranges

Great for Boot Camps

Great organiser for Rock Climbing activity for Summer

Lifetime experience

Great outdoor adventure in forest

Great for clay target shooting

These guys started as a New Zealand’s first surf tour company of its kind. NZST evolved over the years originally offering only a One Day Surf Tour and Surf School to 7 Day Surf Tours and finally they finally they took on the winter months and since 2004 offer skiing and snowboarding tours. The name changed naturally from New Zealand Surf Tours to New Zealand Surf and Snow Tours and currently to RAPU. Just for you to know Rapu means in Maori language ‘to seek’, which describes ultimately what is this crew about - seeking adventure. They are operating in small groups and once you know you want go - they’ll they you how and what to do there! Plus, their prices are very competitive. Check them out on their website: www.rapuadventures.com

Sarah Cate is your girl. She knows the Tongariro Crossing from upside down. She’s all about the safety too - and when she feels it’s safe to go up - you’re going to have a blast seeing the beauty of the hike like anytime before. This is for those who are hikers - it’s hard hike - even though everybody is talking about it, it’s still hard. So if you want to do it make sure you are fit and ready. Tour costs $185.00pp which includes all equipment (you can basically walk in with flipflops and she’ll gear you up from hat and gloves, jackets and pants, to boots), transport & Guides. http://www.adventureoutdoors.co.nz/#/tongariro-crossing-in-winter/4569766115

Did you know Mt.Ruapehu is not only about skiing or snowboarding? Give tobogganing or sledding a go. Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Fields have amazing sledging slides and it’s lots of fun, if you are not a skier or snowboarder but still want to have snow fun! Either you arrange it yourself or you can check Rapu Adventures again. Those guys are not specializing in skiing or snowboarding trips, but at Weekend Snow Tours which include transport, accommodation, food (breakfast and dinner) and they arrange any special activities on top you want.

When I need some fresh air and excitement I take my bike out here for a couple of hours and get back to nature!

Love this track I can cycle past all the traffic on the motorway and take it out to Rosebank rd to go visit friends. And then enjoy a guilt free wine from all the exercise!

Gorgeous horses, scenery and really relaxing too!

Great park to go kick a ball around, or go for a run in town. They usually have touch here on a Monday night - Join a social team!

Kayaking tour to the pub with your friends? Yes please!!

Jeep 4WD Adventure Park in Helensville lets you bring your own 4WD or use one of theirs for a two-hour extreme adventure, or all day drivers training. Guaranteed fun in any weather, you can even spend the day driving the first Hagglund Personnel Carrier ride in Auckland - the ultimate in thrill seeker’s buzz.

Around forty minutes’ drive from the city,Hampton Downs MotorSport Park is the home of driving legends, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come to stay and play too. They have regular public driving days where you can book in a few laps here and there, as well as racing experiences available depending on your badge of choice. A voucher for a trip around the track in a Lotus, Ferrari or Lamborghini makes for a great gift for the speed freaks in your life too, and definitely won’t go unused.

A spot loved by Auckland adrenaline junkies is Papatoetoe’s Hyper Stimulator New Zealand – the home of racecar simulation in New Zealand. Hyper Stimulator offers not only real race car drivers – like fan Jonny Reid - a valid and valuable training tool, but also everyday drivers the chance to experience what it is like to be at the wheel of a V8 Supercar. A great day out for groups too.

Like the idea of abseiling down waterfalls, jumping off cliffs and sliding down polished rock chutes, all in a prehistoric, subtropical environment? Then a day with Canyonz is definitely for you. Blue Canyon has 18 waterfalls, ranging in height from 2 to 30 metres, and the easy part is the handy pickup from – and drop off - outside SkyCity!

SkyCity is where you'll find New Zealand's highest jump (pictured). Called SkyJump, it is one of Auckland City's “don't miss!” experiences - leaping off Auckland's famous Sky Tower - 192 metres straight down! You'll fall very fast (approximately 85 kph) for around 11 seconds, and then it’s a smooth landing below. They also offer the SkyWalk, which let’s you walk 360 degrees around the Sky Tower with nothing but air either side of you.

Fantastic venue for wedding and reception. Amazing venue. Highly Recommend.

Recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Auckland City. I have been to a lovely wedding at this venue and looked at it for myself also. Checkout link to see more images on this stunning location. http://www.hopetounalpha.co.nz/main/photos.htm Great street parking Free after 6pm outside venue.

I have been to a Wedding, a 30th and a 21st here. Awesome Venue, with an amazing view and good parking.

Really enjoyed the day on the track.

I have worked on high street and this has been my local lunch bar and by night I still enjoy evenings at Rakinos. I even had my first dance with my now husband at this bar! Recommend for good food and a good night out!

Top Paintball field in Auckland, staff with years of experience, safe equipment, awesome indoor and outdoor fields.

Indoor Go-Carts

You need a good driver for your night of debauchery

To get an interesting costume for the stag

Because every good stag night ends at a strip club

On a wet and horrible day i find there is nothing better than escaping the reality of the outdoors by catching a movie at Hoyts in Wairau, with the cinemas always being warm and clean and giving myself an excuse to consume large amounts of movie food, it always helps the rain down the drain!

Laserforce is an awesome way to spend a rainy day! Swapping the grim conditions outside for a high-paced indoor galactic themed warzone.. Need i say more?

Forget completely about the weather outside and escape into your own Timezone! My head spins with the amount of arcade games on offer and they top it off by giving away prizes for playing.. win win win!

I’m a Sunday drive kind of guy but that’s out the window for me if the weather is wet and raining, usually in this situation i get myself to Action Raceway and get straight into the Go Karts. Fast pace, loud and exciting this place usually leaves me hoping for rain again next Sunday!

Nothing beats winding down a rainy afternoon by catching a flick at Berkeley Cinema in Takapuna, walking up the stairs to the foyer and smelling that fresh popcorn the closer you get really makes me forget about the weather and enjoy the atmosphere in the cinema.

Great team, great environment, great diving!

Some of the best diving to be had within an easy drive of Auckland's CBD - just less than an hour north of the skytower. and dive into another world!

Owned by the same couple that run Dive HQ, Albany - closer to the city for your convenience!

An engaging scuba school, based in South Auckland, catering for the large community of scuba divers that live there!

Central City based dive school with some of the best instructors in town!
