Rafting deep into the West Coast backcountry on a multi-day wilderness journey

Multi-day Adventures

Multi-Day Wilderness Rafting & Camping Adventures

Enquire/Book

Multi-day whitewater rafting adventures on the West Coast, including the Grey / Māwheranui near Reefton, as well as on the East Coast, including the Waiau-Uha near Hanmer Springs, along with other magical rivers across the top half of the South Island, we have something to suit all ages.

A multi-day rafting trip takes you further into backcountry New Zealand. You'll camp on the riverbank, wake up to nothing but water and mountains, and cover ground you simply can't reach any other way. Whichever river you choose, the guiding, camping gear and meals are all part of the trip.

All you need to bring is yourself!
