There’s no other location worldwide where you can raft on a stunning river that plunges into a vertically walled gorge full of raftable waterfalls and numerous eccentric rapids. The river’s warmth and depth (most of the time) often become the highlight of visitors’ New Zealand experiences. We carefully select our guides from professionals with an intense background in Kayaking and Rafting, thereby promising the safest and most exciting journey on the river! It’s also arguably the best value-for-money rafting in NZ. We strive for FUN, so join us for this once-in-a-lifetime, EPIC adventure.
