Queenstown
Oct-April. Book online

Specialises in soft adventure trips, rafting the upper reaches of the famous Shotover River near Queenstown.

The trip kicks off with a 45 minute drive into the famous Skippers Canyon, get kitted out with gear then take to the water at the “Ford of Bruinen” made famous by the Lord of the Rings movie. Enjoy a gentle scenic excursion packed with fun for everyone from 3 – 103 (older by arrangement). Float down gentle Grade 1 & 2 rapids only (takes approx 1-1.5 hours on the river). On the way see gold mining relics, sheer canyon walls and get to play on the odd rock jump. Water confidence is not necessary, which makes the trip suitable for small children. Fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor.
