My 2 teenagers and I had the best time. We arrived late, were unprepared (no togs or towel), but then went on to the have the most fun. We loved everything about the trip -- Hamish made it a total blast. Super highly recommend.
Thank you for the review Jennifer, it was a fun trip for a spring time afternoon. See you next time:)
My four teenage kids and I had an awesome time doing the Grade 2 rafting in Upper Hutt. It was a great first rafting experience for them. Our guide Carter was a wonderful host and he helped us have confidence even though the river was very high that day! In the end we ALL jumped off the rock which was a thrill. Amazing day that we will definitely do again. Thanks Carter!! 👍 Btw It was worth paying extra for the photos to help us remember what fun we had.
3 Friends and I did the rafting experience and it was really fun. We did some rock jumping and it was a nice experience. The problem was that I gave hamish my phone to take pictures. He put in a dry box but somehow he fell off the boat into the water with my phone in his pocket. I've reached out to them but i have no response yet. The phone has some damage and obviously I want it to get repaired.
We had such a fantastic trip. Totally recommend Carter as a guide. Kids said it was the best day ever. A lot of fun and we will be back to try another one.
