Rafting in Hanmer Springs provides fantastic family fun for everyone and a great adventure!
A family rafting adventure is the best way to see the Waiau Gorge Canyon and surrounding countryside.
Marvel at the twist rock, water holes, pink marble rock and fault line features. In clear water you may see salmon and trout swimming by as you float past.
Relax and listen to our qualified guides as they pass on their knowledge of the river, its nature and folklore. Your Hanmer Springs Attractions guides will also give you full instructions on the rafting techniques to use during your trip.
Leap out of the raft and go for a float, - but make sure you are back in the raft before the rapids!
At the end of your raft trip you return on our thrilling jet boat ride.
Our Hanmer Springs rafting adventure is suitable for people of all ages, but children must be able to fit the safety gear to participate.
We supply you with everything you need for this Hanmer Springs activity and ask that you bring your own swimwear, a towel and a sense of adventure!
This is sensational family fun.

Lots of fun for the family
This was the perfect experience for our 9 year olds. They loved the thrill of rafting, cliff jumping and the water fights along the way. The bonus was the jet boat ride back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for families or anyone wanting to get out to view the sights on the river. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

mr
great couple of hours except for the steep walk back up to the shop.

Hello there, thank you for your review. The name Waiau gorge explains it all, steep cliffs surrounding the river. We do offer complimentary ride down to the boat for those who struggle to walk on steep terrain. Ask our staff next time you're around. Cheers from Hanmer Springs Attractions Team

Actually pretty boring
We booked a rafting & jetboat experience last minute for a good price. The experience itself is actually pretty boring. Floating down the river, chit-chat, not really interesting background info (i don't mind the housing prices) and no sincere enthousiasm or interest by personnel / instructor. After floating for 1,5 hour we boarded the jet boat. Overall: It's fun - in relation to the lastminute pricing - but you don't miss much if you skip it, definitely skip if you pay the full prize.

Spaß, Sport, Sightseeing
Superschöne Tour mit tollem Guide, schöne Landschaft, Adrenalin beim Sprung ins 12 Grad klare Wasser, tolle Rafts, viel Spaß und eine schöne Rückfahrt mit dem Jetboaot. Absolut zu empfehlen, uns - Eltern mit erwachsenen Kindern (20 und 22) - hat es allen sehr gut gefallen.
