Experience the exhilarating feeling of conquering grade 3 rapids tailored by the world’s best Riverboarding guides

Highlights

  • Adrenalin pumping rapids
  • Surf the waves and giant whirl pools
  • Fully guided

Bodyboard New Zealand's best white water tailored by the world's best river guides!

Conquer grade 2-3 rapids and become King or Queen of the River, riding the rapids on a bodyboard. You'll enjoy surfing standing waves, riding whirlpools and eddy lines as well as catching some underwater currents if you are brave enough.

The high volume Kawarau River bursts with adrenaline, and this trip will challenge your nerves from start to finish. The bodyboards are light and highly maneuverable allowing you to be more active in the water. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for the ultimate adventure.

After running the mighty white water, you will enjoy some spectacular New Zealand scenery on a gentle river flow, then stop for a rock/cliff jump or 2. An experience not to be missed if you want to try something unique, exciting and that takes you out of your comfort zone.

Je recommande !

Activité dans l’eau atypique, qui vaut le coût comparé à d’autres activités dans les alentours. Une équipe professionnelle qui a su nous mettre à l’aise dans l’eau et qui assure la sécurité. A faire absolument !

Très bien pour une première fois

Si vous en avez déjà fait, cela vous paraîtra répétitif car nous faisons deux fois le même parcours. Par contre, c'était pour mois la première fois et j'ai pu donc comprendre le fonctionnement du sport grâce à cette répétition. Les guides sont géniaux, il arrivent à venir rapidement vous sauver (et j'en ai eu besoin maintes et maintes fois). Package photo pour 40$ à la fin. Vous pouvez utiliser votre go pro, le casque de sécurité est fourni avec un about adapté. Il ne faut pas avoir peur de boire la tasse... Très bonne première expérience. ?

Exhilarating fun in the water

An adrenaline rush, physically tiring and not for the faint hearted. Well looked after by experienced guides. Only dropped to 4 stars as price was a little expensive
