Stag & Hens Groups

GROUP ORGANIZERS

Looking for a Fun Day out for your Stag or Hens party?

Our staff are experts in their field and we will develop a program to fulfil your requirements and suit your budget.

Rafting is a great adventure activity – because small, tall, young and old can do it. There’s no better way to develop party fun spirit, break down personal barriers and develop connection than stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown.

With your professional raft guide/facilitator to direct things and keep you safe, you will not only enjoy a trip to remember but learn powerful things about yourself and your crew as well. At Rafting New Zealand we believe we can offer your Stag or Hens group a truly unique experience which will provide highly rewarding outcomes for all!

This section starts where the grade 3+ section finishes. With its fun easy rapids we have a unique opportunity to hand the “guides paddle” over to you and your crew.

HEALTH & SAFETY PLANNING

The Rafting Industry has been legislated for over 25years so the new Adventure Regulation is nothing new to us. We will assist and provide you with all the necessary documentation to ensure your health and safety planning is streamlined.

We will include :

  • Copies of our certificates of compliance.(Maritime New Zealand and Outdoors Mark)
  • Copy of Qual Mark Award
  • Public Liability Insurance Cover
  • Hazard Management Forms for your particular activity
  • Accident and Incident Report Log sheet for the last year.

Why come to us!  Rafting is an adventure activity that very few New Zealanders get to experience. The river environment is something our kids need to be confident in and what better way to open the doors to them then by including a rafting adventure..

Why plan to come here? The Central Plateau is spread over the Ruapehu and Taupo regions. Within these regions there is a vast array of activities that your school can incorporate into your visit. From walking the many numerous tracks, to kayaking down hidden streams there is something for all abilities.
