Home to one of the world’s longest flying foxes – the Skywire. This four-seater contraption hovers 300m above ground, catapulting plucky passengers through the air at 100km per hour.

Cable Bay Walkway
Drink up bay views on this coastal walk between Rotokura/Cable Bay and Glenduan town near Nelson. Allow at least three-and-a-half hours (one way) and pack your snorkels: when the path drops down to the sea, the water beckons.
Cable Bay Café
Just a wee stroll from beautiful Cable Bay, this idyllic café is open over summer and much like the rest of the region, is super cheerful and equally relaxed.
Dragon Hunting
It’s not every day you see dragons hiding in the forest. In Cable Bay, they’re lying in wait. Try your hand at archery at Archery Park Nelson. Learn the craft from an experienced instructor then head into the thicket to hunt for dragons and archery targets.
The Horoirangi Marine Reserve
The waters between Cable Bay and Glenduan are teeming with marine life, so grab your flippers and dive in. Both snorkelling and diving is fruitful here, with gentler snorkelling near the beach at Cable Bay, making it good for children.
Pepin Island Farm Tours
Privately-owned and connected by causeway, Pepin Island is also home to a working sheep station. As part of a 4WD farm tour, you’ll experience sheepdogs at work, the inner working of a wool shed, rolling pastures and sublime views.
Cable Bay Kayaks
How does this sound? Secluded beaches without another soul in sight; secret islets with stunning waterfalls; a labyrinth of caves and pods of dolphins. If it sounds like bliss, rent a kayak and explore the waters surrounding Cable Bay and Pepin Island.
