Here we will welcome you to the base in Maori, and fully explain the gear and facilities, and fully outfit you in up-to-date river apparel. Once dressed for the river one of your professional "Kiwi" river guides will give you a full safety briefing in the comfort of the shed before we load onto our vehicles for the 15 minute drive up to the river. During the drive to the river one of the guides will point out the many amazing landmarks along the way and tell you of the Maori history and myths and legends which associate with the area.
At the river we grab some great shots of you and the group and then your off on your adventure! You will raft over 8km's, through 20plus grade 2 rapids. On the second rapid of the trip your driver will be positioned on the river bank to snap some great action photo's of you.Half way down the river we pull over to the National Trout Centre. Here we hope out of the rafts and visit the breeding pool for the baby Trout (fish). Here we enjoy some hot chocolate and chocolate and the kids can feed the fish. After the trout centre visit, there is the opportunity for a cliff jump (optional/weather permitting). In total we spend approximately an hour and 45 minutes on the river.
Once off the river we transport you back to our base for a hot shower. Once changed you come through to our comfortable shop space and enjoy a complimentary cold beer/soda or hot mulled wine as well as a river dog (hot dog) while watching your trips photos's.
Adventure Photo's, RNZ retail items and other adventure operator information, is available after the experience and one of river guides will be there to thank and farewell you good bye.
