Tourism New Zealand promotes extreme sports package

Thursday, 25 Sep, 2014 0

Tourism New Zealand in partnership with STA Travel has launched a world’s first of its kind tourism product – the chance to complete five adrenalin sports in a single day.

Called the ‘5X1NZ’ package, customers can skydive, snowboard, mountain bike, bungy jump and jetboat in a day.

The adrenaline day takes place in New Zealand’s Queenstown, well known as arguably the extreme sports capital of the world.

To launch the service a non-stop action sequence video has been filmed with skydiver Chuck Berry undertaking all five activities within one hour.

"I’m used to jumping out of planes, but the idea of free-fall followed by boarding, biking, bungy and boats was enough to make my blood pump.  As far as I know, no one else has ever done it and now anyone that’s mad enough can give it a go," Berry said.

"People come here because they know they’ll have a life experience worth remembering and because there’s so much to do in such a small space that their trips will be packed full of memories," said  Kevin Bowler from Tourism New Zealand.

"The 5X1NZ is just one more thing to add to people’s bucket list of things to do whilst they’re here."

The 5X1NZ adventure package is only available for booking through STA Travel and includes an NZONE tandem sky dive, downhill mountain bike trails at Rabbit Ridge Bike Resort, a Shot Over jet boat trip, AJ Hackett bungy jump and a variety of ski pass options during the winter ski season.
