Queenstown River Surfing Rapids on the Kawarau River Adrenaline Activity

River Surfing

Conquer grade 3 rapids, standing waves and whirlpools! The high volume Kawarau River bursts with adrenaline, and this trip will challenge your nerves from start to finish. The bodyboards are light and highly manoeuvrable allowing you to be more active in the water. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for the ultimate adventure. After running the mighty white water, we enjoy some spectacular New Zealand scenery on a gentle river flow, then stop for a rock/cliff jump or 2. An experience not to be missed if you want to try something unique, exciting and that takes you out of your comfort zone. One of Queenstown`s original activities operating since 1989.
