 Canyoning, Abseiling, Climbing |
P.O Box 56207 Dominion Road Auckland 1003 New Zealand +64 9 834 0501 / +1 800 46 2965 http://www.awoladventures.co.nz info@awoladventures.co.nz |
For an adventurous full day of canyoning, abseiling, and just plain having fun, this is the company you should contact. After an initial 20 minute hike, the next two and a half hours are spent negotiating a river, ending at the beautiful but notorious Piha Beach. Lunch is provided at the conclusion of the trip. The best part is that none of the waterfalls or cliffs have to be leapt from or abseiled down (though these are the recommended routes), there is always an easier option. All gear is provided. There are discounts for more than one person. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Leaping from small aeroplanes |
Greens Road Parakai Auckland 1250 New Zealand +64 9 420 8064 / +1 800 735 000 (freephone New Zealand only) |
Parakai Parachute Centre offer first jump courses, free fall courses, tandem jumps and advanced training. The team of instructors is some of the most experienced in New Zealand, and offers a very thorough and safe training program with the latest parachute and safety equipment. After thorough training, first-time jumpers are equipped with parachutes that open automatically when exiting the plane, a process that takes just a few seconds. Then on instruction from the helmet radio, the first-time jumper steers their parachute to the drop zone for what is usually a soft stand-up landing. Triumphant first-timers receive a First Jump certificate. Tandem jumpers, equipped with a special harness attached to a tandem master, can leap from the aeroplane at 10,000 feet and free-fall for 5,000 feet before opening the parachute for a landing in the drop zone.
