Rangitikei Rush

Duration: 1 Day, 1 Night


Cost: $375 per person
Season: All Year Round

What's The Rush?


What do you get when you combine the highest, longest, fastest Bungy, Swing or Giant Flying Fox Ride with a Grade 5 Wet and Wild Rafting Trip?  You Get the Rush!

Small towns slide by as you drive State Highway 1, through the central North Island of New Zealand. There is little that really says to you - Get off the Main Road - Go Explore! 

The Rangitikei District, situated south of the mighty volcanoes of Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, is one of those places where the Main Road is best left behind.

An area that is easily driven through, but what surprises there are in store off that Main Highway.

What Is The Rush to Find?


For the adrenaline seeker, this area has two of New Zealand's Must Do's !

Two Total Rushes!

 

Gravity Canyon is New Zealand's biggest Adventure playground, located alongside the Rangitikei River deep within the Mokai Canyon.  You can choose to face you fears by Bungy jumping 80 metres off New Zealand's Highest Bridge Bungy, Freefalling 50 metres into the Mokai Canyon above the mighty Rangitikei River or Ride the World's most Amazing Flying Fox at 1.1km  long,  reaching speeds of up to 160kph.

Further upstream The Grade 5 section of the Rangitikei River, runs the length of this district, is often regarded as one of the top half day, Grade 5 White Water Rafting trips in the world.

Grade 5 is the most exciting white water commercially rafted.

Do Both of These in One Day and What Do You Get?

Doing both of these activities in a 24 hour period gives you the Rangitikei Rush!

Top white water rafting combined with some fear of high places, and then jumping off them.

Feel The Rush!

The Rush Deal


Bungy or Swing or Flying Fox = Scarey jumping off high places
Grade 5 Rafting = Wet and Wild

During your stay, feel the vibe, swap lies, and enjoy the fun of staying and hanging out with other adventurous people.

In What Order Do You Do Everything?
