River Rafting on the Tongariro River Grade 2

Tongariro River Rafting offers rafting experiences for everyone aged between 5 and 105 years old! 

After the briefing at our base and getting changed into your rafting gear, we head out to the river. Your personal belongings stay back at our base. 

On board our raft, the whole family can pitch in and paddle or simply sit back and relax while your guide does all the work. The gentle currents will carry you along with regular areas of small, bouncy, splashy rapids alongside the Tongariro River Trail - enough to keep you on your toes without scaring your gradma - the kids will love it!

Our awesome highly trained guides are experts at calming any first-time nerves. They'll keep you entertained and tell you all about the sensational scenery and wildlife you'll see while you're floating along. You'll get to know our friends the Whio, highly endangered native blue ducks who call the Tongariro River home. They live in pairs all along the river - see if you can spot them!

The water on the Tongariro is crystal clear as it is naturally spring fed - keep an eye out for the huge rainbow and brown trout swimming around. 

At the end of your rafting trip you will be returned to our base where you change back into your dry clothes and get to check out the photos!
