This was the best experience! We had an amazing friendly knowledgeable guide who made our trip so fun. This is definitely something we would do again. The kids and adults had a blast! Rafting, rock jumping, jet boating- it had it all!

Wow!

The river was perfect for us as we're beginners. We didn't know what to expect but we had a blast! Our instructor was awesome, kind and friendly with heaps of kiwi banter. Definitely would do it again.
