Locals and visitors to the Hibiscus Coast can look forward to a new attraction this summer as Kiwi Slip ‘n Slide prepares to launch New Zealand’s largest outdoor water slide in Silverdale.
In partnership with Snowplanet, the slip ‘n slide promises fun in the sun alongside the country's only indoor snow resort.
The massive four-lane, 110-metre-long slip ‘n slide will be located at 91 Small Road, right next to Snowplanet.
The collaboration allows Kiwi Slip ‘n Slide customers to enjoy Snowplanet's on-site facilities, including a restaurant and bar, making it a convenient spot for both summer and winter activities.
Mana Water Sports Owner and Director Emily Rutherford shared her excitement about the new venture.
“Snowplanet has been a key destination for snow sports since 2005, and we’re thrilled to bring our giant slip ‘n slide to this iconic location,” she said.
Rutherford also highlighted additional attractions, including New Zealand’s largest sealed-air inflatable water castle for younger visitors and a variety of food trucks, aiming to create a festive summer atmosphere.
Kiwi Slip ‘n Slide is set to open on November 16, initially operating on weekends and for private bookings on weekdays.
Full-time operations will begin on December 10 to coincide with the summer holiday season and will run into 2025.
Snowplanet General Manager Rojie Aguilar expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, "We are thrilled to offer this fun and exciting activity, which promises enjoyable experiences for everyone."
