Sledging
Enjoy rapids, waves and the beautiful Kawarau River on a sturdy, easy to hold, very buoyant manoeuvrable sledge. The sledge keeps you more on the surface of the water than the bodyboards. You still get all the action packed fun of the rapids and the cliff jump, as well as a relaxing float. You just get a little more help from the sledge! 9km of pristine beautiful water, It’s a trip not to be missed.
