River Surfing
Ride the Kawarau River like you've never experienced it before - on a bodyboard, right in the heart of the white water. Guided by world-class river guides, you'll surf standing waves, conquer grade 2-3 rapids, and ride whirlpools on one of New Zealand's most thrilling river runs, before easing into a scenic float downriver with a rock jump or two to finish. Light, manoeuvrable, and completely immersive, bodyboarding puts you closer to the action than any other river experience — and with Queenstown's original riverboarding adventure behind you, operating since 1989, you're in the best possible hands.
