At Tekapo Springs Tube Park in New Zealand, you'll have the chance to zoom down a massive mountain slope on an inflatable tube even on the hottest days of summer. With a slope nearly 500 feet (150 m) long, the park can give quite the adrenaline rush to visitors of all ages. When you take a medical job in New Zealand, be sure to check out this tubing park situated on the banks of Lake Tekapo on the nation's South Island.
While you might not see flecks of snow during a visit between October and May, you'll still get that same surge of excitement as you hold onto your toboggan-like apparatus. The park uses a synthetic carpet that produces the same effect as snow, providing a slippery journey along every corner, bump and curve.
After sliding down the epic slope, you can relax in one of the Tekapo Springs hot pools, designed to look like each of the lakes in the region: Ohau, Pukaki and Tekapo. Whether you're looking for massage therapy to work out back pains or a pool to swim in, the springs are the perfect place to unwind and soak up the beautiful views of the Two Thumb mountain range.
