Join us on a wild ride down the legendary Buller River Earthquake Rapids, the section with the most whitewater in the breath taking Buller Gorge.
Adventurers will experience plenty of white water action. Challenge yourself at the "swim" rapid and the optional 8 metre cliff jump.
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.

Good fun cruising down a beautiful gorge
Great friendly, experienced and funny guides. Very scenic. Rapids were good without being terrifying (and that’s something no one can control).

Rafting
Awesome day out! This is the second rafting trip we've done and it exceeded our expectations yet again. A beautiful, pristine river with plenty of rapids and outstanding scenery. The guides really know their stuff and we feel safe at all times.
