So. Much. Fun! - Our family friendly rafting trip was a blast today! Can't recommend this experience highly enough. Take your kids and expect to all have a brilliantly fun day! Our kids are 8, 10, 12 and 15 and they all loved it. The adults also had a whale of a time!

Highly recommended company - Excellent day out with River Rats and my 8 year old son. I grew up locally seeing the River Rats rafts on local rivers and always wanted to go on a trip. I've not done most of them but this one was extra special as I was able to do it with my mini me.

An amazing day out! - Firstly thank you again to Justin and the crew for the day on the water it's one we won't forget soon. The day started at Murupara where we got detailed briefs on the days activities and also the safety on the river. We had multiple anxious people on this trip that were afraid of the water or could not swim but the guides were able to keep them calm and reassure them they will be the first ones to be rescued if the worst happened. A quick van ride to the start of the river and we were into it. The river itself was humming, with great water flow this made for a exhilarating trip. It had a good mix of big drops and more technical rapids so that was awesome and kept everyone engaged throughout. The guides were professional and entertaining which made for a safe and enjoyable day for all involved. I had a blast as did everyone on our trip and we will definitely be back. Cheers guys.

AWESOME Family trip ! - Justin was amazing - we had a family trip and a very nervous mum and 10 yr old - Justin was amazing at putting us at ease, making it super fun, relaxed and totally enjoyable. Would highly recommend River Rats - they take care to make you feel super comfortable, and also provide lots of info during the trip, with some little excursions along the way. A great family day out!!

Rangatiki River Grade Two - A great time! Justin, our guide, was really fun and very experienced. He communicated well and did a great job with the kids, who loved it. There were several opportunities to jump in and float through some rapids, which was great. The scenery along the way is stunning, which made for some great photos. A really fantastic family experience, thanks Justin!
