Whitewater Rafting on the Rangitikei River

Boat in Manawatū-Whanganui
Rated as one of the top half-day Grade 5 rafting trips in the world by Red Bull, this action-packed trip is one for adventure lovers! We spent three epic hours on the Rangitikei river tackling grade 3-5 rapids in our inflatable raft. The experience is fully guided and all gear is provided, plus a hot shower at the end of the trip.
