Wellington Sports Travel Tips by wkcsmt

Theme: Other

There are 3 things you can do here... roller blading, sea kayaking & climbing/abseiling.

Roller blade around the wharf / Frank Kitts Park.

Hire a kayak and take a trip around the harbour on your own or join the trip organised by the centre.

Something you can do on a rainy day... indoor rock climbing. There are serveral types of climbing walls of 40ft with lots of climbing routes in the centre, so come & take the challenge. Experienced instructors & staff will provide necessary training on climbing, abseiling and safety systems. Harness, Carabineer, climbing shoes & chalk are available for hire.

They also have climbing equipment and clothing available for sale.

See their website for pricing and courses available.

Theme: Extreme Sports

If you have ever wanted the bungy experience without jumping, this could be it... for only half the price... Bungy Extreme is the ultimate in adrenalin rides. Up to 3 people are strapped into an open capsule which is connected to 2 bungy cords winched to two 40m crane towers. The capsule is then catapulted 55m into the air @ speeds of up to 160km/h in less than 2 seconds. It costs NZD$35 per person, NZD$15 ride again & NZD$20 video.
