How Does it Work?
What's included in our hire?
Your raft rental includes everything you need for an amazing journey, you just need to bring your personal equipment and food.
What size are your rafts?
Our rafts will comfortably take up to 5 people and their equipment.
Having 5 people means the raft is loaded to its maximum, you’ll need to pack light.
If you want a more luxurious trip, consider hiring another raft.
Can we do it ourselves?
To rent rafts from us you’ll need to confirm that you have the skills and experience necessary to enjoy a raft trip on a river in New Zealand.
