Description

When making your reservation, you will have the choice of two distinct options, both departing from 3/9 Jupiter Grove. Each includes essential rafting gear, guidance from an English-speaking instructor, and spans a total duration of 2 hours. Below, you'll find the specifics for each experience:

Beginner Rafting

This choice is ideal for those who wish to experience rafting for the first time or for those who seek a more relaxed pace after prior rafting experiences. On this duckie tour, which combines elements of a raft, kayak, and Canadian canoe, we will navigate the lower section of the Te Awa Kairangi. Here, while tackling the rapids of the Hutt River, you'll also be treated to stunning views of the surrounding landscapes of Wellington.

Advanced Rafting

If you're an adrenaline seeker with previous rafting experience, this option is tailored for you. On this journey, we will navigate level 2 and 3 rapids across a 10-kilometre stretch of the Hutt River. The adventure features 60 rapids that meander past waterfalls, ancient woodlands, and crystal-clear waters, which may even tempt you to take a refreshing dip. Expect an exhilarating time!
