Harrison's Cape Runner

Here at Harrison's workshop we have designed & purpose built, in house, a fleet of powerful all-terrain 4 x 4 truck to bus conversions.

We have made a conscious effort at looking to the future, passenger safety and enjoyment, and considering and protecting the environment throughout the design and construction process.br>
The units are fitted with huge super single tyres and are the first in New Zealand to have this feature. This makes for safer beach operation and passenger comfort. The seating and large panoramic windows make the best scenic viewing available. Our local Coach Captains (Guides) are courteous informative and cheerful, and are the best in the business, receiving fan mail from all around the world!br>
This is a full-day comprehensive tour with many stops including Aupouri Forest, Ninety Mile Beach, Te Paki Stream & Sand Dunes, Cape Reinga, Tapotupotu Bay, Rarawa Beach, Te Kao, Houhora Heads and Ka-Uri Unearthed. We offer free pick-up from your local accommodation.

Action World

There is no other place like this on earth! Literally! Freddy and Carol Osler (former World Champions on the Flying Trapeze) have developed an airbag landing system that allows for all manner of exciting activities right here at Action World, which hitherto could only be performed by wearing a safety harness. No question – if you're looking for entertainment in Paihia which includes activities for the whole family – then visit us for a day of fun-filled excitement! There is a large tent to sit under to watch the activities, drinks and snacks are available from vending machines or bring the esky and cook for the family with free BBQs for your use. Or mom and dad can suntan by the duck pond while the kids spend hours exhausting themselves.
