We are unique in that we offer this beautiful trip into our back yard with history from guides with over 30 years experience on the river and stories from maori elders going back 33 generations (or so).
Also we pride ourselves on our homemade light lunch and the fact we can pick up from the ship.
All trips get clients back onto the cruiseships well before departure.

This trip starts from either your ship or in Napier city, then bus one hour into the heart of the north island. Thie activity is a scenic raft trip down grade 2 rapids whilie listening to bird song. Also included is a narrative on the local history of the area going right back 80 million years, through to pre european times with local maori and into the near past and present. This activity is also great for families with children being able to swim down river and drinking the fresh water all in a safe environment. Grade 2 rapids are fun but small so if you dont wish to get to wet dont jump in. Photos of your trip are available either mailed to you or on our facebook page free of charge. A homemade light lunch is provided afterwards before heading back to your ship or to Napier to checkout Art deco buildings. Timewise we like everyone back on board your ship 2 hours before ship departure. All safety and rafting equipment is supplied, just bring Bathers if you wish, a towel and sunscreen.

5.00This is a wonderful tour. Deon and his wife Jo are great. It was so relaxing and a lot of fun.. It’s a mild river, so it’s great if older family members want to attend. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Superior service ! Dion contacted us several times ahead of the excursion to make sure we clearly understood where to meet (tricky port). We had a great time and laughed almost the whole day. They provide everything you need stay warm and safe, even included a great lunch. Our group had two first time rafters and Dion made sure to make them feel comfortable. Great day and highly recommend!

5.00If you are worried about not getting back to your cruise on time….DON’T BE!!!! David was our guide on the 1hr bus trip to base. He was so knowledgeable for only being in NZ 16yrs??? Loved his jokes😝 Scenery to base is amazing with lots of recent facts about the area. Not going to spoil it for you. This was the best shore excursion during our cruise to NZ. We had 2 port cancellations due to bad weather, but this excursion was THE highlight of our trip! Deon is an absolute hoot and Mike our river guide was so knowledgeable about the area. Together this team made this a most memorable trip. Not to mention the beautiful & serene scenery on the river! To top it all off, Deon’s lovely wife provided us with a scrummy yummy lunch, snacks & drinks.❤️ JUST DO IT! Thanks Deon and Mike for keeping us dry…ish;-)

5.00We had the privilege of having Deon as our raft captain. The scenery was so beautiful and the water so very clear, the raft crew were a bundle of joy and even if this wasn't so, Deon would have made up for it, with his commentary and fun-loving nature. We saw our first bumble bee and Deon had a unique way of removing it from our helmet, but splashing up. A welcome, refreshing spray of beautifully fresh NZ river water :) Thanks Deon, the whole trip was great, from the commentary in the bus on the way to the river to fun on the river, lunch and the trip home. Best ever!!

5.00Rafting was very fun. The guide, Deon, was very entertaining. We floated for 2 hours and were treated to a lovely lunch at his home by his wife. I especially liked they provided us with all the equipment we needed.
Enjoyable time

Floating the Mohaka

5.00We were met bright and early at the ship by our leader Deon, an exuberant Kiwi bloke. Our group of 11 traveled in Deon's van for approximately an hour through beautiful New Zealand farm country, eventually transitioning to mountains, to The expedition outpost. We suited up in paddling gear and headed off on a 5 minute drive to the Mohaka River. We split into groups of 6 and put on the river for a 2 hour float trip of gentle class 2 rapids through a lovely limestone and sandstone canyon. After taking out, we headed back to the outpost for a lunch of sandwiches accompanied by two very friendly dogs, a pig and a sheep named Barbara. On the ride back to the ship, Deon offered a stop at a winery and a city tour of the art deco town of Napier. All in all, a very fun 5 hour tour.
