Your excursion begins with a drive approximately 25 miles north to the Mohaka River. Your route will follow the old trails blazed by Māori and European settlers inland to Hawke's Bay along the Napier-Taupo Highway. Take in scenic views of New Zealand's beautiful countryside along the way.
Upon arrival at the rafting base, gear up with a splash jacket, splash pants, booties and a fleece top. Travel about five miles over the Titiokura Saddle mountain pass to the far side of the range.
Begin your nearly seven-mile river raft float trip through low canyons and native vegetation. Depending on the weather conditions and water level, you may be able to ride the occasional rolling rapids.
If you're up for an exhilarating experience, take a swim in one of the whirlpools. Alternatively, just relax as you float, taking in nature at its best.
From the riverbank, transfer back to the rafting base with a light lunch on the bus during the drive.
Back at the base, change back into your dry clothes; then, hop back on the coach and relax for the journey back to the ship in Napier.
Notes:
This rafting float trip is on a Grade 2 river, which means it is typically flat, with moving water that features small rapids and waves that are about 18 inches tall, and a possibility of small drops in pitch along the way. Minimum age is 5 years. Transport is not air-conditioned. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk.
