Get ready for a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure on the iconic Shotover river as we navigate the rapids that carve their way down the valley.
Your adventure begins with a 40-minute journey along the historic Skippers Road, one of the Top 10 most dangerous roads in NZ. We’ll get your adrenalin pumping even before you hit the water, as you travel down the dirt road cut during the 1860’s gold rush.
The upper section of the Shotover River gives you and your paddling team time to practice your paddle techniques and be briefed for the exhilarating rapids ahead. Our knowledgeable rafting guides who are expertly trained, and possess a keen sense of adventure will then navigate your raft through the grade 3- 5 rapids, aptly named aftershock, squeeze, toilet and Oh Sh*t.
Your journey comes to an end through the darkness of the 170m long Oxenbridge Tunnel before finally taking on the Cascade rapid. Don’t worry, hot showers are available on your return!

Whitewater Rafting with Ico
Das Whitewater Rafting war richtig cool und spannend, aber auch Sport, denn man muss schon ein bisschen arbeiten. Aber ich würde es jeden empfehlen, der mal Lust hat, die Gewalt von Wasser zu spüren.

Langweilig
Ich fand den Tag sehr langweilig .2 Wasserfälle runter -die anderen hat man gar nicht bemerkt und da ca 30 Leute gestartet sind in zig Booten musste man immer auf andere warten .kann man machen aber muss man auch nicht wirklich gemacht haben .verständlich ist das sie Einweisungen machen mpssen usw aber das war alles viel Zuviel und es war im Großen und Ganzen ein Treiben auf dem Wasser mehr nicht

Sehr cooles nasses Vergnügen
Für uns war es das erste mal Rafting, und wir werden es mit Sicherheit nicht vergessen! Die Guides sind alle sehr cool drauf und sehr entspannt. Sehr gute verständliche Sicherheitseinweisung. Wir sind in den Stromschnellen mit unserem Boot umgekippt, aber es war so gut organisiert dass uns gleich Leinen zugeworfen wurden. Insgesamt ein sehr cooles Erlebnis was das Geld auf jeden Fall wert war!
