Rafting in Hanmer Springs provides fun for everyone and a great adventure! Rafting is truly the best way to see the Waiau Gorge Canyon and surrounding countryside. Marvel at the twist rock, water holes, pink marble rock and fault line features.
In clear water you may see salmon and trout swimming by as you float past. Relax and listen to the qualified guide as they pass on their knowledge of the river, its nature and folklore. Your guides will also give you full instructions on the rafting techniques to use during your trip.
Leap out of the raft and go for a float – but make sure you are back in the raft before the rapids!
