Tandem Sky Dive - A choice of 9000 or 12000ft with wonderful views over the Bay of Islands with Sky Hi Tandem Sky Dive.

Fishing - Great choice of options from a hand line off some rocks, snapper fishing for 3 - 4 hours, king fish or up to having a go at Big Game Fishing for Marlin in the summer season.

Diving and Snorkelling - Scuba Diving out among the Bay of Islands and up to the world known wreck site of the Rainbow Warrior.
