Rafting – Grade 2
Rafting on our Grade 2 rivers is fun for the whole family to enjoy. Make your own fun with our qualified guides, take control of a raft, swim the rapids, find a rock to jump off, experience the waterfall in all its power, or simply sit back and enjoy the view, just remember if you splash expect to get splashed back!
**Please note that this is generally a group guided trip. That means that if river conditions allow there will be 1 raft guide for up to 12 customers in up to 3 rafts, so that means you get to control your own destiny...all under the careful supervision of the raft guide/s. If you would like a guide in your raft, please let us know at time of booking (additional charges may apply)
