Bodyboard New Zealand's best white water tailored by the world's best river guides!
Conquer grade 2-3 rapids and become King or Queen of the River, riding the rapids on a bodyboard. You'll enjoy surfing standing waves, riding whirlpools and eddy lines as well as catching some underwater currents if you are brave enough.
The high volume Kawarau River bursts with adrenaline, and this trip will challenge your nerves from start to finish. The bodyboards are light and highly maneuverable allowing you to be more active in the water. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for the ultimate adventure.
After running the mighty white water, you will enjoy some spectacular New Zealand scenery on a gentle river flow, then stop for a rock/cliff jump or 2. An experience not to be missed if you want to try something unique, exciting and that takes you out of your comfort zone.

Scary and exciting!
It’s worth joining. You won’t regret it! Highly recommend! However, you should not be afraid of water.

A different experience
What is RiverSurfing? Doing whitewater rafting in water without a raft..... That's why I signed up for the trip and it was totally worth the time. Very professional team to ensure the safety of all participants starting from equipment fitting to training to the actual 5km of river surfing. A pleasant bonus activity at the end of the trip was an optional 5m jump off the cliff into the river. Highly recommended.

Great Fun!
What a unique experience! We had a fun group and the instructors were awesome and made us feel very safe. While it was physically a bit more challenging than I anticipated, the float at the end was a nice way to relax and enjoy the scenery after the exhilarating rapids.
