The Grade 2 trip on the Mohaka River is a half day event. This trip allows you to experience a seldom traveled New Zealand river gorge without the commitment of a full day trip. Experience gentle whitewater, pleasant places to swim and float as you take in the scenery. This trip is designed for young families and those that wish to sit back and relax. There are only very small rapids on this section. For those who want the thrills the Grade 4/5 trip on the Mohaka River is a full day Wilderness Trip. Described as one of New Zealand’s best whitewater runs, technical rapids within amazing canyons – you need to be prepared to paddle strongly to make sure you keep the raft where it needs to be. For safety reasons, a minimum of 6 people to run the trip. Trout fishing can also be organised.
