White Water Rafting Grade 3: This half-day Tongariro River journey is one of the best rafting adventures in New Zealand. The rapids are Grade Three, which makes this an ideal adventure for expert or first-time rafters alike with thrills and spills galore without any extreme drops.
Only 40 minutes from Taupō or Ruapehu, you’ll start at the Turangi rafting base where the friendly crew will fit you with safety gear, a wet suit, and extra layers to keep you warm before heading to the banks of the beautiful Tongariro River for an on-shore briefing with your awesome Rafting Guide. You’re in good hands and super-passionate, experienced guides will coach your team to paddle like a well-oiled machine before you know it. In two hours you navigate over 60 roller coaster rapids with an expert guide at the helm. Complimentary transfers are available on afternoon trips from Taupō and National Park.
Includes:
– Complimentary transfers on afternoon trips from Taupō and National Park
– Chocolates and hot or cold drinks
