For the fun of it.
Doing something just for the hell of it can be good therapy for the soul.
We are also a light hearted lot who like to have moments of pure fun too.
Try out wharf jumping. Outside The Wharf Hub we have a
water slide, rope swings and more... refreshing river swimming, for young and old, its great fun.
Did you know New Zealand has an official Wharf Jumping Association?
If its frolicking in mud you enjoy, then forget about paying to go to Rotorua's mudtopia. All summer long at low tides, the other side of the river offers a great mud experience.
Local Moari traditionally used it as a form of cleansing soap, and the swim back leaves you feeling clean and rejuvenated.
When the suns not out, no worries. Cooler water temperatures, even a mid-winter polar bear splash, is great for revitalizing the senses. Science now confirms the health benefits to be gained.
There's an out door hot shower and towels back at the Wharf Hub.
