Whitewater Grade 3

It all starts with a briefing at our base before you get changed into your river gear.  You can leave all of your belongings at our base, office staff would be happy to look after your valuables behind the counter so you know your gear is safe while you are out on the water.

Active participation is key on our Whitewater Grade 3 trip! You need to be able to follow paddle commands and safety instructions to ensure a safe and thrilling experience. If you or someone in your group has specific needs or you are wondering if this is the right trip for you and your group, please contact us to discuss your options. 

Unforgettable adventures await as you navigate 60 rapids in a 13km stretch – more rapids in one stretch than anywhere in New Zealand, how cool is that?

The Tongariro River’s grade 3 rapids are perfect for first-time rafters: thrills and spills galore without any extreme drops requiring experience.

Your pulse will be racing and your senses will be overloaded with all sorts of awesome.

When you’re in the moment – just you, your fellow rafters and the thundering water, you’ll truly understand why white water rafting is so so addictive!

We love nothing more than seeing the excitement on your face as you conquer the white water rapids of the Tongariro. We’ll take plenty of photos for you, so you can see for yourself and share with your friends.
