Our guides are all professionals. Their fun, friendly manner, river skills, and deep respect for our environment and culture is what makes our Rafting New Zealand guide team unique.

Our premises, vehicles, and equipment are of an international standard and are always presented clean, safe, and well maintained.

Gentle Footsteps, Strong Paddlestrokes. Rafting New Zealand is fortunate to be based in pristine wilderness, but we know that there are unnatural and natural changes that occur. Our motto reflects our efforts to actively seek new ways to monitor, improve, and keep our environment clean, safe, and healthy.

Rafting is an adventure activity with a degree of risk. Participants need to be aware that we cannot absolutely guarantee their safety.
