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.

Tout n'est pas dis.
Grande surprise lorsque l'on monte dans le bus on nous apprend que l'on passe par la 7eme route la plus dangereuse au monde. Une ancienne route dans les montagnes qui a été étudié pour le bétail. Le plus drôle est que sur cette route nous avons croisé un 4x4 de safari (petite jeep) ou les touristes payent pour rouler sur cette route à sensation. Et nous dans le plus grand des calmes prenons cela avec un Bus et une remorque énorme. Cela dis le rafting en lui même était super. Mais vraiment pas fairplay de nous prévenir. Personnellement j'ai eu plus de sensation dans le bus que sur la rivière. Sauf que je n'ai pas payé pour mourir en bus. Lorsque jai demandé au guide pourquoi personne n'a rien dis il ma répondu que sinon les gens viendrais pas...

Super expérience
Une expérience impressionnante dans des conditions rassurantes. Tout est prévu et l'encadrement est optimal. Pas besoin d'avoir de l'expérience en rafting même si le niveau de la descente est exigeant. Il suffit de savoir nager et aimer l'adrénaline. Je recommande!
