Our trip to Waimarino

Marcus and Jennifer tell us all about our trip to Waimarino waterpark near Tauranga.

On Monday the 21st of November we went on a school trip to Waimarino Adventure Park. Our instructors told us the rules like no running or else you had to do 10 press ups! They also taught us how to put on a buoyancy vest and told us about some of the activities for example on the Slip and Slide only works with contact to skin.

The instructors then let us go and we went to have a lot of fun!!! There was an activity called “The Blob” and one person would jump onto “The Blob” and move to the end and then another person would jump on and then, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”, the first person was catapulted into the air and Wow look at the humongous splash! There were other activities like a kayak slide (which was basically a hydroslide that you could go down in a kayak) a Tarzan swing and a gladiator pole.

We also did kayaking in the afternoon. We had to get into a circle and hold onto the other persons kayak beside us, this was called rafting up. We were also taught what happens when we fall out, Steven volunteered to jump out of his kayak and the instructors told us how to get back in. We played cats and dogs and us kitty cats mouths dropped the dogs were scary. We then formed our circle again and the instructors did tricks on the boat. When we had a turn most of us fell of when we were standing or doing wheelies.

We had the time of our lives!
