Adventure in Hanmer Springs

Hanmer Springs sets the perfect backdrop for the Triple Thriller Raft, Quad Bike & Bungy experience. The day begins with a two-hour Grade 2 rafting trip, complete with scenic river views and a jet boat ride back to base. This combination of natural beauty and adventure makes it ideal for thrill-seekers of all levels.

Following the river rush, a two-hour quad bike trek takes you through rugged terrain. From muddy trails to forest tracks and river crossings, the ride is as challenging as it is fun. Each twist and turn adds to the excitement, making it a highlight of the experience.

Take the Leap at Waiau Ferry Bridge

No adventure is complete without the ultimate test of courage: the bungy jump. Standing 35 metres above the Waiau River, the Waiau Ferry Bridge offers a jump that will leave your heart racing. It’s a moment of pure adrenaline set against the stunning New Zealand landscape.

The best part is the flexibility of the package. You can conquer all three activities in one action-filled day or spread them across separate days. With age and weight requirements ensuring safety, the Triple Thriller is designed for adventure lovers ready to push their limits.
