A fun rafting adventure for families and first time rafters.
Rafting the Arnold River, a grade 2, we pass through podocarp rainforest and farmland for one and a half hours of river fun. On the way learn about the ecology of one of the worlds most fascinating ecosystems and how it influences life on our planet.
This river is suitable for a range of boat sizes so that again you can choose your own "fun factor" here. The smaller boats have more bounce to increase the fun while if you are more tentative about your rafting then the larger rafts will give you more confidence as a beginner while still having a fun time.
If you want to increase the "fun factor" and throw in some challenge as well then try a self guided raft! Full training is given and you are under the supervision of expert raft guides at all times.
This is a good trip for families and people who would like to go rafting but are not too sure how they will handle rafting. You'll learn river safety, boat paddle commands and gain the confidence to tackle bigger water.
The trip finishes with a hot pleasure spa back at our base.
