WHITE WATER RAFTING/RIVER RAFTING
River rafting conjures visions of heart-stopping moments as boats perch precariously on the edge of rushing waterfalls or brave roiling rapids, but its reputation as an activity strictly for adrenalin junkies belies its value as a unique way to explore New Zealand’s wild side. Though Grade 5 river rafting entices the fit and adventurous, there are gentler options available for more prudent voyagers. Scenic Grade 1 and 2 trips, which meander down tranquil stretches of river, give passengers a ring-side seat through New Zealand’s unspoiled nature, while the rapids typical of Grade 3 and 4 trips simply spice things up for active but inexperienced passengers. Though river rafting is an adventure activity with a degree of risk, all commercial operators in New Zealand are licensed by NZ Maritime agents, and are subject to rigorous annual screening aimed at maximizing passenger safety. New Zealand’s rivers are a quintessential part of the landscape – experiencing their sights and sounds first-hand is a sensory delight not to be missed.
