The Trip
Your trip begins at our camp, where we meet in the morning and discuss the day over hot drinks. You then get changed into your industry leading gear and gather around the rafts for a chat about safety and paddling. The first rapid is right in front of camp and the white water continues with short breaks all the way to the end. We stop for a light lunch on the side of the river then carry on to our take out. After the adventure you will be brought back to our camp for a BBQ dinner by the river.
Your Trip includes:
- All the gear necessary to raft and keep you comfortable in all weather conditions.
- Experienced Raft Guides certified in both Swiftwater Rescue and Advanced Wilderness First Aid.
