Putaruru Blue Spring & The Arapuni Swingbridge - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year
Day 24: Today we’re checking out the beautiful Putaruru Blue Spring and crossing the Arapuni Swingbridge on our tour with our backpacker hostel hosts.
Yesterday - Day 23 -
Tomorrow – Day 25 –
About this video:
First things first, we are in Arapuni, a small town in the Waikato region with a big swingbridge! Our hosts at the Arapuni Backpackers take us on a bit of tour to the Arapuni Swing Bridge, which crossed the Waikato River, before furthering our walk to check out the hydropower dams and spillways. We have time for a quick lunch back at the Arapuni Backpackers before hitting the road on this backpacking New Zealand trip once again.
But before we leave this part of the Waikato, there is one more place we have to visit: The Putaruru Blue Spring which sits along the Te Waihou Walkway. The Te waihou Walkway follows a winding river of the bluest yet clearest water full of brilliant green river weed. The Putaruru Blue Spring is like something from a fairy tale. There are a few viewing platforms and bridges to take some awesome photos of the Putaruru Blue Spring and get some incredible views of it.
Finally, we are hitting the road to our next stop, Otorohanga and the Waitomo area. Join us tomorrow for what we can promise you is going to be a ridiculously weird day!

Agroventures Adventure Park - Rotorua, New Zealand
Perfect for families and all types of travelers looking for a high adrenaline thrill. There is something for everyone, infants to grandparents, all in picturesque country surroundings just 10 minutes north of Rotorua and adjacent to Zorb, AMAZEme and the Agrodome. Skyline Luge and Rainbow Springs are just 5 minutes further on the way to Rotorua.
You can spend as long as you like on site from a quick 30 mins fly-by to setting aside about half day to take it all in.
Obtain a chance to do all four activities (Swoop, Agrojet, Freefall, and Shweeb) or trade your pass for these activities for one Bungy Jump!
Swoop (part of pass)
Feel your heart beat as the anticipation increases as your raised 40 meters into the air high above the Ngongotaha stream, and then pulling a ripcord that that plunges you into an exhilarating swoop towards the ground at 130kmph. Take the plunge on your own or get others to join you to make for a more intense experience.
Agrojet (part of pass)
Power around the purpose built watercourse in a high speed Hamilton Jet Boat.
The G-force sensation is akin to a Formula One Racing car in full throttle. Climb aboard. Snuggle into the bucket seat, click into your four-point race harness and let your pro driver show you what life's really like in the fast lane -- because there is no slowing down for the corners!
Freefall Xtreme Body Flying (part of pass)
This is the closest you will get to be a super hero -- fly unattached on a giant wind column. This activity is sure to have fellow delegates laughing till their sides hurt!
Ever wanted to fly, pretend to be a superhero? Well experience the thrill of body flying; this is the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Let the Freefall team guide you on the flight of your life as you step out into the flight zone.
Shweeb - Race Thru Space (part of pass)
Shweeb is a world first and is a human powered monorail racetrack. One to four delegates will race against the clock and each other over a 600m track in order to get the quickest time. This is a high impact challenge with anyone of all fitness levels being able to participate with ease.
Bungy Jumping (or trade your pass for one bungy jump)
Rotorua bungy provides some of the most spectacular views of the district, Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island and far below the trout filled Ngongotaha Stream. As you stand on the purpose built tower, 43 meters above scenic farmland, you'll hear your jump master call 3, 2, 1 Bungy! As you take the leap of faith. On completion pose with the Bungy crew in front of the cameras to celebrate your success. Video Credit: Agroventures

2004 New Zealand South Island Vacation part 1
My trip to New Zealand with my brother in 2004. During one part of the trip (the part where we flew the small plane) we went to a location where the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was filmed.
