Phenomenal experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Absolutely brilliant breathless experience. We are 68 and 65 years old getting a big kick all the same. It is not to be missed.

Great fun for all

Published on Jan, 2025

I went rafting with my twin sister and a friend for our 21st birthday. It was great fun! We got to meet some great people, and our guide, Hannah, made the experience incredibly enjoyable. I would highly recommend. Not only was it a fun activity but it was also very social.

Went rafting with a couple friends of mine. For most of us it was the first time. The explanation from the guides made it al very safe and enjoyable. On top of that, our boat's instructor Hannah made the whole trip that much more fun with her amazing Kiwi energy!
