Really get your adrenaline pumping on this half day rafting trip down some of the most picturesque and challenging white water rapids in New Zealand. The Rangitikei River is one of New Zealand’s best rivers for white water rafting, with sections of both Grade 4 and Grade 5 white water meaning that this is not a trip for the faint-hearted.
Your trip begins at the River Valley Lodge where you will travel by road upstream and then journey 12km back down the beautiful gorge by raft to the Lodge. Thrills and spills are plentiful on this wild ride as you travel through 10 major Grade 4-5 white water rapids such as the famous Max’s Drop, Fulcrum and Foamy, as well as various other smaller rapids which give you more of a chance to take in the impressive scenery as you glide by.
The Rangitikei River is a free flowing river in a remote setting meaning that more often than not you will have the river completely to yourselves.
