Fun and educational! - Such a wonderful trip. We were so well looked after and our driver, Brendon, was absolutely awesome. Talk about cool, calm and collected! Not only was it thrilling, the trip was informative with points of interest shown to us. I would absolutely do this again.

Best fun ever - Had an amazing time!! Thought the guide was gunna lose his head a few times. My son and I couldn’t stop smiling for hours after. We found it quite funny though when someone else was on our boat, but failed to wear suitable footwear..then slid to the bottom of the path!! No crocs people!!! Guide was awesome, and enjoyed his narrative.

Exhilarating 1 hour ride - Exhilarating ride, fun and exciting. Driver was very experienced, felt safe even when skating close to the rockface, great local information on river and surrounds. 100% recommend. Walk down to boat is quite steep

Brilliant experience! - What a fabulous outing! Brendan was a brilliant driver; only suggestion would be a sunglasses cord for him so he is not driving with one hand while holding his sunnies on with the other! He did a great job and it was a nice long ride and a real adrenaline kick. Neeta the manager was lovely and very informative. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Hanmer Springs from Christchurch. Only downside was the Horrifically steep track down to the boat-and getting back up is another story! Wear non slip shoes..,..But well worth it!

Awesome for the whole family! - We had a fabulous time rafting and jet boating. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The rapids were enough for me and my husband, but also well-catered for our 7 and 9 year olds too! They even went above and beyond to make us and the kids feel welcome. I certainly recommend this place.

Best activity of our holiday by far - I never write reviews for things but this has made me … was absolutely amazing so scenic with a touch of thrill. The kids and I loved it. It was by far the best activity we have done on our Christchurch/ Hanmer holiday. Also we loved the dog Max we feel he needs a pay rise for all the hard work getting pats he does haha.
