White Water Rafting New Zealand, family adventures, medium level and extreme white water rafting

Hi there, Do you want the best white water rafting New Zealand has to offer? Then come to the West Coast of the South Island. This is the whitewater capital, with well over a thousand rivers and creeks flowing off the Southern Alps into the pacific ocean. NZ is home to some of the best whitewater in the world,  and the West Coast has the best choice of rivers new zealand has, ranging from mellow class 2 up to extreme class 5. 

We have trips for all budgets. Family rafting adventures, scenic floats, medium level white water to the most extreme raft trips in NZ.

Half day to week long expeditions

Our rivers are more scenic, have more rapids and are more remote than any others in New Zealand. The flicker photo galleries speak for themselves.
