First Rafting Trip? - No worries! Your guides will give you full rafting safety instruction and are committed to making your river trip not only safe, but the best experience possible.
Because the Buller River is a large volume wild river with no dams to regulate the flow, the rapid Grade 3 to 4 varies with rainfall. Ask us about the river flow when you book.

Excellent fun, spectacular scenery, great guides
Ths rafting trip was brilliant- the operation is so well run and the guides are very experienced on this river. The gear was excellent and there was limited fuss but plenty of teaching as we went. Safety was obviously number 1 priority, followed by fun. Perfect for my boys (13 & 15) and for the adults too, this who had never done it before and those who had. The rapids were just awesome fun and a little bit scary at times but what a thrill! Thanks to the team, especially Bruce our guide.

Awesome day
What a lovely day! Beautiful surroundings and the best tour guide in NZ. The river wasn't high, so the water wasn't very wild, but nonetheless an experience I wouldn't want to miss. Thank you Marty!
