Are you an adrenaline junkie looking for a way to get your heart racing this summer?

Look no further than Rotorua's Agroventures.

The park, located near the Agrodome in Ngongotaha, offers five thrilling adventure activities.

Visitors get the chance to take a bungy jump, a swing on the Swoop or a ride on what is said to be the fastest jet boat in New Zealand, the Agrojet.

It is the only jet boat sprint track in the country.

The Freefall Xtreme is the country's only wind tunnel, offering a similar experience to skydiving, without jumping out of a plane.

A recent addition is the Shweeb, a suspended aerodynamic racing pod which visitors can pedal and race.

Agroventures sales and marketing manager Mary Tolley said the park was an essential in the city because nowhere else in New Zealand offered four of the five activities.

"There's activities for the whole family to enjoy. For both adrenaline junkies and those people who might prefer to stay a little closer to the ground."

She said most of the activities could be done in groups and it was a fun way to spend time with friends or family.

The Rotorua Daily Post Essential 50 lists the city's must-see, must-do and must-try activities and experiences thanks to reader nominations. We'll be highlighting one every day during the summer.
