Imagine leaping off a bridge 140ft (43 metres) above a swirling deep green river tied to a bunch of strangers!

Four Americans and two Kiwis have… all in the name of Adventure Central™, an exciting new 13-part adventure travel television series filmed in the adventure capital of the world: Queenstown, New Zealand.

The series encompasses travel, documentary and real life drama, as it unfolds, in a unique action-packed format sure to excite even the most avid couch potato.

Six young adrenalin-seeking adventurers were plucked from their everyday lives to take on their biggest blast ever — a huge array of thrilling new challenges and personal odysseys for the Adventure Central™ cameras.

The six strangers — a former Wall Street financier, a New York yoga instructor, a Kiwi adventure guide, a freefall-fazed Los Angeles computer artist, a New York BMX rider and a Kiwi speedclimbing science student — are thrown together to live in ‘The Crib”, a 70s-style Queenstown house.

For those in the cast accustomed to high-rise apartments, The Crib’s stunning lake and mountain views are their introduction to paradise.

From July 1999, the six stars live and breathe Queenstown’s true adventure extremes — and its more relaxing pursuits — while being filmed, virtually around the clock.

Each of them is filmed throughout the series taking on a personal challenge. For Carey, it was sky surfing; Belinda, the ice climb of her life; Bernadette yearned to hang-glide; Jeremaia chased his parapenting dream; Dane trained for a tough mountainous multisport endurance race; while Jason, being Jason, simply had to base jump!

With the help of Adventure Central™ mentors — internationally qualified experts in all of these challenging fields who have become hooked on the adventure lifestyle and chosen Queenstown as their home — our six stars achieve their dreams.

To kick-start their adrenalin rush our six cast take part in some novel flatmate bonding — a six person bungy jump off the 140ft (43 metre) Kawarau River bridge. They climb to a dizzying 6500 ft (2000 metre) height on the Remarkables Mountains where they dig a nine-person interconnecting snowcave in stormy conditions, survive chilly temperatures of around minus 2 degrees celsius, huddled in their cave eating freeze-dried food.

In a world first two of the cast play in a high-altitude underwater soccer match beneath the frozen 3ft-6ft ice (1-2metres) slab surface of an alpine lake. Two teams thrash it out upside down in dry-suits with only two goal holes and one safety hole as their escape to the surface.

The cast surf the South Island’s wild West Coast waves and heliboard off Fiordland National Park’s towering snowy peaks, all in one day.

Five of them take to the air in a hot air balloon while Jason buzzes them overhead in a Mustang fighter plane.


Skydiving, rock and ice climbing, whitewater rafting, jetboating, kayaking, heli-skiing, luge riding, mountain biking, bush hiking and bridge swinging from an historic bridge deep in the remotest heart of Central Otago — it’s all been done in the name of Adventure Central.

And when our six cast are not on the adventure set they can be found working in ordinary jobs, behind the bar, serving in outdoor sports stores, tail guiding for a heli-ski company or just soaking up Queenstown’s unique downtown flavour in local cafes.

The six Adventure Central cast members are:

Belinda Mellish, NZ
Bernadette Ritzel, USA
Carey Conley, USA
Dane Honhart, USA
Jason Peligatto, USA
Jeremaia Fisk, NZ

Imagine leaping off a bridge 140ft (43 metres) above a swirling deep green river tied to a bunch of strangers!

Four Americans and two Kiwis have… all in the name of Adventure Central™, an exciting new 13-part adventure travel television series filmed in the adventure capital of the world: Queenstown, New Zealand.

The series encompasses travel, documentary and real life drama, as it unfolds, in a unique action-packed format sure to excite even the most avid couch potato.

Six young adrenalin-seeking adventurers were plucked from their everyday lives to take on their biggest blast ever — a huge array of thrilling new challenges and personal odysseys for the Adventure Central™ cameras.

The six strangers — a former Wall Street financier, a New York yoga instructor, a Kiwi adventure guide, a freefall-fazed Los Angeles computer artist, a New York BMX rider and a Kiwi speedclimbing science student — are thrown together to live in ‘The Crib”, a 70s-style Queenstown house.

For those in the cast accustomed to high-rise apartments, The Crib’s stunning lake and mountain views are their introduction to paradise.

From July 1999, the six stars live and breathe Queenstown’s true adventure extremes — and its more relaxing pursuits — while being filmed, virtually around the clock.

Each of them is filmed throughout the series taking on a personal challenge. For Carey, it was sky surfing; Belinda, the ice climb of her life; Bernadette yearned to hang-glide; Jeremaia chased his parapenting dream; Dane trained for a tough mountainous multisport endurance race; while Jason, being Jason, simply had to base jump!

With the help of Adventure Central™ mentors — internationally qualified experts in all of these challenging fields who have become hooked on the adventure lifestyle and chosen Queenstown as their home — our six stars achieve their dreams.

To kick-start their adrenalin rush our six cast take part in some novel flatmate bonding — a six person bungy jump off the 140ft (43 metre) Kawarau River bridge. They climb to a dizzying 6500 ft (2000 metre) height on the Remarkables Mountains where they dig a nine-person interconnecting snowcave in stormy conditions, survive chilly temperatures of around minus 2 degrees celsius, huddled in their cave eating freeze-dried food.

In a world first two of the cast play in a high-altitude underwater soccer match beneath the frozen 3ft-6ft ice (1-2metres) slab surface of an alpine lake. Two teams thrash it out upside down in dry-suits with only two goal holes and one safety hole as their escape to the surface.

The cast surf the South Island’s wild West Coast waves and heliboard off Fiordland National Park’s towering snowy peaks, all in one day.

Five of them take to the air in a hot air balloon while Jason buzzes them overhead in a Mustang fighter plane.


Skydiving, rock and ice climbing, whitewater rafting, jetboating, kayaking, heli-skiing, luge riding, mountain biking, bush hiking and bridge swinging from an historic bridge deep in the remotest heart of Central Otago — it’s all been done in the name of Adventure Central.

And when our six cast are not on the adventure set they can be found working in ordinary jobs, behind the bar, serving in outdoor sports stores, tail guiding for a heli-ski company or just soaking up Queenstown’s unique downtown flavour in local cafes.

The six Adventure Central cast members are:

Belinda Mellish, NZ
Bernadette Ritzel, USA
Carey Conley, USA
Dane Honhart, USA
Jason Peligatto, USA
