If you come to Barrytown
looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't
leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling
activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters
and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides.
New Zealand
is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is
found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are
exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and
magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of
land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy
jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or
parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive.
Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle
both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.
Situated at the western end of the Croesus Track that runs from Barrytown across the Paparoa Range to Blackball. Settled in the 1860s, the township was a centre for extensive gold dredging. A licensed cafe offers great food and coffee.
