Rangitaiki River Grade 3 - 4 10km of white water exhilaration and fantastic scenery! From the buzz of ‘Geoff’s Joy’ a torrent of white water, to stunning views of both native and plantation forest, this trip has something for everyone.
The Rangitaiki is a mix of grade 3 and 4 rapids. The trip consists of fun bouncy rapids running through a beautiful river valley featuring stunning views of native and plantation forest.
The rapids require good teamwork from the customers but 15 – 20 minutes of training is given before the trip teaching all the required paddle and safety commands and practice is undertaken on flat water before launching into the rapids.
The trip is strenuous and suitable for anyone who is physically active and agile enough to move around quickly in the raft.
There is around 15 minutes of flat water at about the mid point on the trip allowing time to relax, enjoy the scenery, chat with your guide and fellow rafters and even have a swim if you wish.
Notes:
Minimum age is 10 years. The coach ride from port to Rangitaiki Rafting is approximately 2 hours each way.
