Wet 'n' Wild Rafting Adventures

The Wairoa

The Wairoa is one of New Zealand's most exciting raftable rivers, and one of the most popular, with an impressive line up of full-on white water action. The one and a half hour trip starts with simple grade two cascades, and gradually builds up to thundering grade five rapids of the 'The Waterfall' and 'Rollercoaster'.

The Wairoa is pure adrenaline, and is tackled by thousands of people each year. Stunning tree-lined gorges, turbulent rapids and breathtaking drops add up to top whitewater action!

Trips include light refreshments consisting of fresh salad rolls, tea, coffee or juice, biscuits and fruit.

The Wairoa river is controlled by a hydro dam and runs only 26 days a year - so don't miss out. It is available on the following scheduled dates only:

testimonials

I want to thank you folks for giving me an incredible couple of days. I've run some great rivers in Alaska and the Yukon, but both the Wairoa and Kaituna were incredible, both for the quality of the scenery and the water! As a bonus Dan was the perfect guide - professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Murray Lundberg - ExploreNorth.com Read more...
