Fishing Rafting Hunting

The Mohaka River and its tributaries form one of the finest wilderness river systems in New Zealand, they contain both rainbow and brown trout which reach up to 10 lb or more on occasion. Trips can be organised to suit your preferences and the time available. You can choose from trips ranging from a half day to 10 days, or somewhere in between. The highest point on the Mohaka headwaters with road access for our rafts is the hot spring area at Mangatutu. The Waipunga can be rafted from the Waipunga Falls to its confluence with Mohaka. Most anglers, however, elect to drift that part of the Mohaka from the bridge on Pakaututu Road – inland from Puketiritiri – back to base on McVicars Road, near the SH5 bridge. This gives access to 18 km of river that has no other access points for the public. Each of 1 or 2 rafts can take up to 4 anglers plus a rafting guide. Contact for more opportunities and adventures.

All workshops are run over a weekend and are held in the ngahere (forest).
