Raft the legendary "Earthquake Rapids" - a classic New Zealand whitewater raft run though a stunning rain forest.
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.
Duration: River time 2+ hours. Allow 4 hours total.
Meeting point: Meet your guides on SH 6 at the Iron Bridge between Murchison and Westport. We'll transport you to the river trip start. Please see the map or ask us for directions if unsure.

A must thing to do when you're in Westport. We had a great time, Bruce and James is awesome :)
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.
The owners are awesome, had a great experience, thanks!
Absolutely essential for anyone who is passing through. The bullet river is truly a wild ride

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.
