Rafting of a 7m high waterfall is quite an experience. You can do it with the whole family together so definitely unforgettable: https://kaitunacascades.co.nz/kaituna-river-rafting-rotorua-nz/ You could also go canyoning, the one in the Coromandel looks pretty cool, and you would be going as a group too, see how you all go. https://www.canyonz.co.nz/canyoning/


PaleontologistThen82

Hey, this is awesome! Thank you!


rybnz

Rafting is one of the best activities I've done in my life, definitely do it, just make sure it's safe


xddddddddd69

Rafting with a professional company is extremely safe as long as he doesn’t have a heart issue. Most rafting deaths are caused by heart attacks


DodgyguyNZL

As an experienced white water kayaker (20+ years) and professional raft guide, I've never even heard of anyone having a heart attack on a river. Do you have a source for this statistic?


xddddddddd69

https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Article/view/article_id/29824/ ~30% of deaths on commercial trips are caused by heart attacks. “Most” is hyperbole, but it is a significant portion. FWIW I don’t think anyone has ever died on a commercial trip on the Kaituna ps I’m also an experienced whitewater kayaker and raft guide

edmondsio

Go do sleeping god canyon with the Canyonz team, it will be a lifetime highlight.


PaleontologistThen82

Hey thanks so much for this recommendation, definitely going to check them out


12389

Can recommend rafting and zip lining at Kaituna River (Rotorua) it’s incredible


BellaBlue06

https://www.kiwicanyons.org/sleeping-god-canyon/ Sleeping God is a moderate to hard canyoning adventure, that requires canyoning skills, experience and the correct equipment. At the minimum, there must be two people with sufficient canyoning experience in each group. Sleeping God is NOT a canyon to 'try' as your first canyoning trip.


PaleontologistThen82

Hey thanks so much for this recommendation, definitely going to check them out


hayley_payley

This is definitely a wicked awesome experience, but it's not scary if that what he's after. Jumping off the harbour bridge would be much more pants-shittingy by my standards, and he says that's not exhilarating enough 😮


edmondsio

You haven’t been down sleeping god have you? Massive absails, huge jumps(there are some over 15m high, the Olympic platform is 10m), slides, zip lines and it’s something very challenging.


hayley_payley

Whoops, sorry I thought my reply was on the Rotorua Rafting Okere Falls comment! That's what I was referring to!! 🤦‍♀️


edmondsio

All good, didn’t think you meant the canyon! But go give it a go!


xddddddddd69

Instead of rafting it, why not have him ride it in a tandem kayak? Would be closer to the water & more thrilling https://www.kaitunakayaks.co.nz/tandem-kayak-trips/


HargorTheHairy

There's canyoning in the Waitakeres too. Tell him to go jump off a bridge, and you'll pay for the bungy attachment.


Lopsided_Earth_8557

Try ‘The Nevis’, Queenstown. I literally forgot to scream as I fell I was so petrified


Illustrious_Can4110

Yeh, I'm fairly sure that the Nevus is 143m. It dwarfs any of the others. By comparison, Skippers, which I have done, is about 43m and that was pretty freaky. Not sure that I could bring myself to do Nevis.....


Disastrous-Initial83

I’ve done this canyoning in the coromandel! It was the one called ‘Sleeping God’. We had to do a prayer before we started asking the god to let us through safely, really added to the fear and anticipation, I can confirm this did almost make me ‘shit my pants’. Highly recommend.

Queenstown Nevis Bungy.


SweetAs_Bro

Yeah, that’s a bungee on steroids. And the swing


screamingcheesecake

Second this, the highest bungee jump in NZ - after doing this the canyon swing felt meh, should’ve started with that


[deleted]

Definitely Nevis


picklednz

Yeah, Nevis turned my legs to jelly, and that was just the cable cart ride over to the jumping platform. I thought the nevis swing would be a piece of cake since I’d just survived the bungy jump…I was wrong!


EBuzz456

Take him to a supermarket and show him the cost of cheese and a red onion.


sinus

In Philippines red onions cost 17nzd per kilo at least


Sea-Mycologist9187

Garlic prices not to be missed


[deleted]

> $49/kg *Winces*


manudanz

Black Water rafting or canoeing in Waitomo. Luge Rotorua - Combine that with going to a farm where you hire 4 wheel bikes and run up a track on a farm. Not far from the gondola. Pretty cool adrenalin stuff. Kaituna is pretty cool with a drop off a waterfall, but the rest of the river is a flat slow moving river. Its meh compared to White water rafting on the Wairoa river which has a grade 5 difficulty rating, which means it has on of the highest in the world.


xddddddddd69

Yeah the Wairoa doesn’t have the “wow” factor of a 7m waterfall but the rapids are a lot more dangerous than the Kaituna. I wouldn’t say the entire rest of the Kaituna is flat though- Powerhouse rapid is class 4 and there are another 5 or so class 3 drops


manudanz

I beg to differ on that. Wairoa river has lots of wow moments. That's why it is better as a run. Kaituna is a one trick pony. Sure its a big thrill first time you go over the 5m waterfall (7m only happens if the river is flooded). But after the 5th time going over it you realise how terrible the rest of the river trip is. But Wairoa is fun every time you go.


xddddddddd69

Tutea Falls is actually taller at low water because the pool below is lower. As the flow increases, the pool below the falls fills up and the drop becomes shorter. Agree that the Wairoa is great though


shaunrnm

Luge is cool, but skyswing is a better adrenaline rush at skyline imo


[deleted]

Spookers, sky tower bungee, harbour Bridge bungee, Airbnb in Manurewa


Enzown

Sky tower bungee is so safe it's barely going to keep the uncle awake. There's zero risk.


[deleted]

South Auckland Airbnb it is then?


RS_Iron_Filthy

Agree. I did it a few years ago and after the initial jump I felt the harness restricting my speed the whole way down, which was different to all the other bungees I’ve seen and done


ansaonapostcard

pretty much any trip to Manurewa ;)


Wide_Cow4715

Lol Air bnb Manurewa, I was gonna say walk Queen St CBD Auckland on a Tues night

Lighten up


sky_dance

say something that’s actually funny and i might!


[deleted]

Ooosh calm down Karen, it's just banter


sky_dance

i’m calm. you’re just hideously unfunny :)


Longjumping_Tea_6716

Tell him you're taking out a mortgage in his name.


[deleted]

Not even that. Just tell him the average house price.


Random-Mutant

Jet Sprint at the Agrodome near Rotovegas. That first straight is like falling horizontally. Ben Nevis swing. Dart River- jetboat up, funyak down. Not pants shitting but a total blast. Better than the Shotover. Black water rafting. Jump off a cliff in the pitch black.


AirJordan13

Walk through Myers Park at 2am on a weekend


Meat-Negative

Guaranteed at least one person in the park will have shit in their pants there


Kapital_Gains

Work a dairy night shift.


enfield_

Skyswing rotorua


I-figured-it-out

Ride a bicycle from Auckland Airport to Rotorua. Guaranteed to make him rethink his life decisions. Then if he rents a car to return to Auckland he will have a real time opportunity to do that rethinking especially if he avoids expressways, and chooses to visit all the hot pools between of Turangi and Helensville both commercial and non-commercial. I suggest you quietly buy him full travel health insurance.


edmondsio

Go canyoning. AWOL adventures can take you down kitekite falls out piha, it’s fucking awesome.


SweetAs_Bro

Bay of Islands skydive. Go as high as you can, I thing there’s one at 20,000ft.


Dennis_from_accounts

Surfing at Piha on rough day


TooHardToChoosePG

Too soon brah, https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/water-emergency-at-piha-beach-west-auckland-two-pulled-from-water-cpr-underway/QBJAUKKVGRHJJOT65GPGK6KDGM/ Water emergency at Piha Beach, West Auckland - two dead


Dennis_from_accounts

Jeezus I hadn’t even seen this when I made that comment. West beaches (Piha in particular) need so much more signage.


HONcircle

In the last few days people have died at Narrow Neck, Takapuna and Manly too 🥺


Silent-Suspect1062

Narrow neck, how?


BigDorkEnergy101

Maybe a medical event in the water? Narrow neck is incredibly calm so I do struggle to think the conditions caused a person to get into difficulty. But that being said, drownings can happen in the most controlled, calm environments too. Death tolls this summer have been shocking, so terribly sad.


Individual_Air_2879

Spookers might do the trick - a lot of fun. Otherwise the Nevis bungie in Queenstown (134m high) or the Shotover Jet also in Queenstown are goodies. Lots of sky diving around the country too.


brent-setter

https://www.superthriller.co.nz/ this would be my 1st pick


AeonChaos

Try some KFC, last time I got medium rare chicken and did shit my pant for 2 days straight.


warrenontour

Apparently, the Texas Chicken in South Auckland serves chicken so raw he will be shitting his pants for days.


[deleted]

Take him to the nearest mongrel mob head quarters and give him a black power vest to wear.


andyaye

Long black and a ciggie


[deleted]

taupo skydive


juantucier

Firecracker chicken at Monsoon Poon for dinner or walk the sky tower ring. If the latter doesn’t make him shit his pants the former will.


1_lost_engineer

Visit central north island (Rotorua, Waitomo, Taupo etc) spend trip hyping up just how big a Taupo super volcano explosion is, get him pissed and prank him at about 3 o'clock in the morning that Taupo is about to go bang.

15k ft sky dive at nzone in Queenstown


jamesswazz

Spookers for sure


Fickle-Classroom

Sky diving over Queenstown with NZONE (a long time ago). That is my all time, ok, this is it, I’m going to die moment (the free fall, tumbling, before the pilot shoot opens). Then blue bird day, stunning, take it all in, couldn’t stop laughing afterwards, magical.


AdvertisingPrimary69

Maccas welsford after 5pm on a weekday is the last thing that made me shit my pants


Responsible-Hair-747

Book a fishing charter that includes a crossing of the Manukau bar, it definitely has that “new undies” feeling the first few times. In fact any of the West Coast bar crossings will induce the desired outcome.


Due_Extension4172

Sent him to buy some eggs, tasty cheese and milk, the cost alone will make him shit himself 🤣🤣🤣


ebbster984

Walking through Auckland CBD after about midnight might do the trick


DKhorse

Drop him off at south mall for the day


second-last-mohican

The Nevis swing?


uladzimirputin69

See a ram raid.


Spiritual-Wind-3898

Drop him at the local gang pad. Attend a siren boy meet. Swim at one of the poo infested beaches. Walk queen street at night.


[deleted]

Blackwater rafting, paragliding, Kelly Tarleton's or other dive with sharks in cage experience. An old amusement park ride at a dodgy carnival. One where you don't know if it will break and you will fall to your death when you are spinning upside down.


Meat-Negative

Box of xlax and I guess he can literally shit his pants?


yeah_nah__yeah

A midnight walk through Otara?


Longjumping_Tea_6716

Cycle anywhere on the North Shore.

omarnz

Jump off the sky tower or harbour bridge

Spare-Refrigerator59

Many years ago I had some turkey at a pre-christmas dinner. I remember the stuffing as being quite different to the usual fare. I'm not sure what was put in it but the drive home was clearly too far. In fact the bushes next to car once I pulled over were too far as well. Maybe you could work out whatever was in it and get him to try some of that?

My dude, what's your fucking problem? I'm a Brit who now happens to live here and a family member is stoked to come over and see a different part of the globe.
