Information
Here you can slide down the giant water slide on a boogie board, tyre tube or air mattress - definitely popular for those who like a bit of risk and adventure! Well worth the trip and a gem in the region for locals and visitors. The rock is fairly smooth, but you may still get a few bumps and bruises - a mark of a fun time!

Awesome outdoor activity with excitement. Bring or rent a board and you are good to go. Definitely worth the 50 minutes drive from Gisborne.

We had a beautiful afternoon at the Rockslide and a lot of fun!! You can slide really fast and if you have a body board it is even more fun!

A beautiful place in the nature. This is a natural swimming pool with a wall where you can slide down into the water. Very funny and bring your bodyboards.

That was great fun! You can spend there a whole day if you like - and it is free! You only need a good bodyboard. There is a waterfall where you can walk under the waterfall - even behind! That is magical.

Just rent a bodyboard and have fun at the stream. Protect yourself with a wetsuit and go when the weather is fine.

Its a lot of fun if you have a small board to slide along the stones. It is an awesome location though if its really sunny, there are too many people!!
