A good half day tour - Whilst you are paying to go white water rafting the bus trip is a great added bonus. It was fun and safe with experienced crew. They will ask you at least 10 times if you can swim and you should be a confident swimmer to go as they want you to jump in and swim back to raft prior to the rapids.

First Time Rafting - We rafted Kawarau River and it was a really great experience with staff who were patient, attentive, and experienced. We felt like we were in safe hands which was great as we were super nervous! Would recommend to others. Staff took photos with their GoPros and shared the photos for free.

Well Worth It. - Awesome rafting experience! This was so much fun. We could see our kids were a little nervous after the safety brief, but once we got into it and tackled the first rapid, they were smiling ear to ear. The whole experience was great from booking in, getting issued equipment, safety brief, rafting the river and returning to base. The staff were fantastic and heaps of fun to be with, and the scenery was outstanding. Thanks for a memorable family experience.
