Adventure Activities

We have access to grade two and three rivers with wild rapids to suit every group. We have small, medium and large rafts that can take two to seven clients in each raft. We have qualified and skilled guides who can guide your raft down the river or you can self guide your raft under supervision if you’re really keen! We use the world famous Tongariro river and some of the lesser traveled natural beauties that surround us as well. All safety gear will be provided and you will get a white water briefing so you are in the know for everything rafting related.

Rock climbing can happen all year round. If it is raining, we have our custom built indoor wall that we can use to hone and develop skills. Then we can transfer outside to Mead’s Wall or Whakapapa Crag to climb some real rock. We can also set up a traverse that will take you over the top of Mead’s Wall, giving you areas of climbing and scrambling with some amazingly exposed places to really get the blood pumping. Spectacular views are everywhere on the real rock experience.

We have a high ropes course on site here at BMAC. It sits ready and waiting for you to climb up to the beam or islands. If you’re not too keen on the climbing up we can set up the big swing, your group can pull you up and you get to release yourself for a REALLY BIG SWING. This is where you find out if you scream out loud or with your inner voice! The big swing is loved by our groups and is always the thing they want more of.

Okupata caves is a great place to explore if you have never been caving before, or have done a little bit and are keen for a challenge. It has squeezes, crawls, slides and water. We can spend half a day down there and not cover everything there is to do. It is a great place for groups to learn the value of help and support in a very different environment to where they normally hang out.

Did you know whio are rarer than kiwi? And you could spot some here! Learn to identify local flora and fauna and impress your friends with your dazzling array of facts. We can tailor a day to suit you, from learning how to cross streams and rivers safely, to back-country navigation skills, building a shelter, starting a fire and making some delicious bush food, to honing your bushcraft skills, whittling away creating some unique and useful items. Be amazed at what you discover on an epic scavenger hunt. There is endless fun and games to be had in the bush! Come explore the wild side of Raurimu.
