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.
