Our grade 5, white water rafting trip is often recognised as one of the best half day trips in the world! It was recently voted in the top 8 white water trips in the world by Red Bull.

With 10 major rapids on this 11 km run, plus numerous smaller rapids, there is plenty to get excited about.

This is a very active trip and you will need to work as part of a team to navigate your way through steep drops, chutes and major rapids in the grade 5 gorge. The trip starts off with some mellow grade 1-3 rapids, which are great practice for what lies ahead.

Throughout the trip you will see some amazing New Zealand scenery along the way.

And the trip finishes back at River Valley Lodge, for hot showers! You can also choose to add on meals or accommodation at the lodge after your trip.

Amazing nature around the raft track, got enough warm clothes to keep warm drying the ride, water scary enough to still be fun and great guides! Amazing experience!
An awesome afternoon on the Rangitikei.

The River Valley crew were the best, clear instructions, they talked us through each rapid before we went in. What to expect and what to do if the unexpected happened i.e. we fell out, capsized, got stuck. We did all of these things and more it was a great experience. Be prepared for a 3 -4 hr workout, you will get wet, we jumped in just to cool off... It's a team event, and everyone paddles! A not-to-be-missed adventure...
Fantastic!

This was a highlight of our trip to NZ! The lodging, food, people, and rafting were all outstanding. I was nervous about the grade 5 rapids, but our guide maneuvered us through without incident. Highly recommend visiting if you’re able!
Fantabulous!

We stayed in a river room & had great accom + the lodge itself has everything you need from amazing food (Miranda is an amazing chef), friendly staff, a nice bar, plenty of indoor & outside seating, outdoor games and a nice fire when its cold. Janey, Max, Hazel and the rafting guides are friggen awesome. They are really friendly, safety focussed, love some banter, and supportive for those not as confident on the water. Thanks for your great hospitality, we will be back!
An exciting adventure!

Professional, friendly and easy going guides. The rafting was an exciting experience for my teenage boys. A really lovely experience all round. The Chef made us some yummy hot chocolates to come back to when we were cold and wet and a killer dessert after dinner! I highly recommend booking the spa or sauna post trip.
Amazing stay!

What an incredible experience! We stayed at River Valley for one evening and did the white water rafting experience. River Valley is a wonderful place to stay - set in a beautiful remote valley right in on the river. The staff were super friendly and we had dinner and breakfast prepared using foods they had grown - both meals were incredible. I was very scared to do the white water rafting but it was so fun and I would highly recommend! The staff are extremely well trained and professional and ensure that you feel safe and enjoy yourself. One of the highlights of my trip to NZ
