From the guild
Bungy jumping, mountaineering, paragliding, white-water rafting, jet-boating, tramping and
horse-riding are some of the form of adventure tourism which NZ is justly famous for. Gondolas
and the Earnslaw are more conventional forms of travel, it is true, but they open up the country
for all to enjoy.
