What to Expect

Experience the best of the Kawarau River with two of Queenstown’s most iconic adventures – jet boating and whitewater rafting!

 

Race down the Kawarau River before your skilled driver sends you from high speeds into a 360-degree spin.

 

A great introduction to whitewater rafting, the four rapids on the Kawarau River are exciting and the scenery is superb.

 

This rafting trip is perfect for first-time rafters, families and school groups and provides a great taste of whitewater action with plenty of opportunities to splash around. You can even try a cliff jump or swim through a rapid!

 

Between rapids, you will experience calmer stretches of river, with a unique perspective of the historic Kawarau Bungy Bridge as your raft passes underneath. Experience the rugged Gibbston Valley wine region and Lord of the Rings country as you float through the rocky cliffs and blue waters of the Kawarau River.

 

The grand finale is the unforgettable 400 metre Dog Leg Rapid which is sure to leave you buzzing with adrenaline!
