Fantastic - It was epic, guides were fantastic, even if your a bit nervous just do it you wont regret it, age doesn’t matter as we are not fit and nearly 60, one of the best things we did on our NZ adventure.

Fun filled rafting experience. - Hubby & teenage kids loved their rafting adventure. Gear supplied, rafting guys were experienced, cruisey, and funny. I was allowed to tag along with the photographer and see the action. Video & photo file at the end was a good deal too.

Great time - Great time down the river, the whole team were friendly and approachable throughout. Josh our guide gave us simple instructions to follow and was unfazed by our lack of experience.. definitely want to do it again next time I visit New Zealand.

An exhilarating experience in a breathtaking setting - An exhilarating and exciting experience that was as described. Between the adrenaline pounding falls, was an incredibly beautiful river gorge. The guides made everyone feel safe and comfortable.

Wow! 10/10 so fun...don't miss this experience! - Utah Guy...Wow! This was 10/10 experience! Organization was top notch from beginning to end. Our guide, Loveroe (forgive the spelling) was engaging and let us know what features of the river were coming up. We decided to "send it" and flipped our raft on the big falls. I've rafted around the world and I'd say this was the most fun of all the trips. Only knock was it ended too soon!
