Get ready for a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure on the iconic Shotover river as we navigate the rapids that carve their way down the valley.
Your adventure begins with a 40-minute journey along the historic Skippers Road, one of the Top 10 most dangerous roads in NZ. We’ll get your adrenalin pumping even before you hit the water, as you travel down the dirt road cut during the 1860’s gold rush.
The upper section of the Shotover River gives you and your paddling team time to practice your paddle techniques and be briefed for the exhilarating rapids ahead. Our knowledgeable rafting guides who are expertly trained, and possess a keen sense of adventure will then navigate your raft through the grade 3- 5 rapids, aptly named aftershock, squeeze, toilet and Oh Sh*t.
Your journey comes to an end through the darkness of the 170m long Oxenbridge Tunnel before finally taking on the Cascade rapid. Don’t worry, hot showers are available on your return!

Whitewater Rafting
Amazing Rafting experience, guides were awesome and always felt safe in the Raft. Some nice rapids made for a lot of fun. There was one section were we had to get out and transverse a rock area that had some serious safety concerns, but this was out of their control. They could improve on hygeine of the equipment the tub of sanitiser had floating skin and the helmets once wet dripped and smelled of stale sweat. Dissapointed we could not take gopro to share our experience with family and friends. Rafting part was definitely a great experience despite the issues.

Great guides
Water was a bit low which we were not advised of. Still had a good time and the guide was excellent

Great Experience
Unfortunately the Shotover river was too low, so we were transferred to the jet boat and rafting down the Kawarau river. Still a great time, drifting down the river in the cold water looking up at the cliffs, then jumping back in the raft at different times before the rapids with all the participants rowing together. Thanks Chris our captain, and the team.

Superb experience
What fun! A very well run rafting experience with expert guides. Thrills and spills — but the attention to safety was reassuring throughout. Our guide “KC” made it even more fun.

超级刺激
令人难忘的经历，绝对是我以后每次去皇后镇都会玩的项目。Percy是我们的船长，经验丰富，操作稳健，关键是他热爱这个运动。全程实打实的四个小时，非常惊险刺激，还是很考验体力的，实在太对得起这个票价了。唯一的遗憾是不提供摄影，没有留下照片，不过也可以理解，毕竟整个过程刺激危险，需要全神贯注在安全上，下次去会自己带GoPro. 再次给Percy点个赞!
