New Zealand offers an incredible number of activities based on and around the water. Some, like the beaches, are free, while others such as hot pools, swimming with dolphins or boat tours are fee based.

In this section we provide you with those activities that you will have to pay for. If you are looking for free activities like safe swimming beaches then visit our destination pages. There you will find an information box at the bottom of each page giving information on local beaches, lakes and rivers. We have only included those that we feel are family friendly, so any families that are looking for rough, five-metre waves - sorry, but we don't cover those!
We have some great articles for parents who want a bit more information about what's involved in getting your family kitted out for diving, kayaking or snorkelling.
