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.

Had the best time rafting with Bruce and Marty. Bruce explained everything really well and gave clear instructions so, even though we were mostly novices, we successfully navigated the grade 4 rapids and had a fantastic afternoon with lots of laughs. Still pinching myself as I can't believe I have rafted grade 4 rapids! This is a must do trip.

I've long wanted to go whitewater rafting, and when on the West Coast with a friend, decided to give it a go. I am not a swimmer and had never done anything like this before, so there were some nerves, but ... wow! The trip was amazing and I really hope to do more rafting in future years. I'd highly recommend this trip to others. Would have been great to have a GoPro for an option to purchase the video, or some on-the-river shots, but if you take your own camera someone will take photos from high above the river for some pretty cool shots, too.
