New Zealand is a mecca for amazing experiences and one group is on a mission to motivate those to get out and experience it.
Double Olympic kayaker Mike Dawson was one of those on a mission who spared five minutes between activities to speak to the Rotorua Daily Post.
"We wanted to see how many activities we could fit in one day within our own backyard.
"However, we know it's not the same for everyone so the concept is about creating a movement for New Zealanders to step out the door and get active in a time where less and less Kiwis are enjoying what we have."
He said he wanted to raise awareness of the day which could motivate others to do something they love.
