Cool free entertainment for the kids!
Here's some very cool free entertainment! Take the kids to see the spectacular Fly by Wire plane soaring across the sky above Paekakariki. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at our sunny observation area.
The bush walk features beautiful waterfalls and native birds fluttering through the trees. In just fifteen minutes you're at the Fly by Wire Canyon!
Ride Operator Matt Johnston will explain the features of the plane and how it works. It's a New Zealand invention and the only aerial experience of its kind in the world.
We're open every day, but weekend afternoons are the best time to visit and watch the aerial excitement. Free parking at the coffee@ Ian's on State Highway One at Paekakariki.
See you there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
