About Us

Kaikanui - Aqualand New Zealand

 

Aqualand New Zealand began 5 years ago when a team passionate about water sports got together and wanted to give more to the community than just a normal water park.

The WHoW Charitable Trust has been supporting Aqualand New Zealand throughout the process. The Trust is a group of people committed to and acting in Trust to promote an integrated aqua sports park as a major regeneration project proposal within the greater Christchurch regeneration areas.

Kaikanui - Aqualand New Zealand is the first step of the aqua sports park proposal and is supportive of the trusts community pillars.

FAQS

Can Anyone Use The Aquapark?

Aqualand is an awesome but strenuous inflatable water park course. All participants must have strength, stamina and fitness and be able to swim confidently.

Is There a Minimum Age?

Children must be at least 6 years old and be able to swim. All children under 10 must always be accompanied by an adult (ratio 1 adult to 2 children). For under 10-year old’s we recommend sticking to the smaller obstacles.

Does Everyone Have To Sign A Waiver?

All participants must have a signed waiver to enter the course. If you are under 18 years of age, your parent/caregiver must sign the waiver. If your parent/caregiver is not going to attend at the session with you – please ask them to book your session on line quoting their email address and the waiver will be sent to them to sign for you.

Do I Need To Bring A Life Jacket?

Life jackets are provided as part of your entry fee and are compulsory to wear.

What Time Are The Sessions?

Our sessions are on the hour. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your session to sign in, sign the waiver, (if not already done online) receive your wristband and have your lifejacket fitted. For up-to-date session times, please visit the booking section on our website.

Do I need to bring a wetsuit?

No you don’t need a wetsuit but you can bring one of your own if you like

Do I need to Be Able To Swim?

Absolutely! We are located in a lake with varying water depths from 1 meter to 5 metres in depth – so the ability to swim is a must!

How Long Is The Session For

Each session goes for 50 minutes to allow our staff 10 minutes to clear the Aquapark and get ready for the next session. If you are doing a double session of 100 minutes, you will be required to return to the corralling area, ready to head out with the next session. This is for safety reasons to ensure we can readily identify that all participants have returned from the course.

Do You Close in Bad Weather?

We are still open when it rains. If you decide not to go on the park because your feel it is too cold or rainy you will not get a refund. The only weather we close in is extreme winds, flooding or storms. It a lot of fun on the park when it rains as it makes the slides more slippery and fun! Our social media pages will be the place to check if we are open.
