"I would recommend this for anyone that wants to try something different, even beginners. The guide is well seasoned and very safety conscious. They even offer to take photos with your camera from up top following you down the river, followed by a hot drink afterwards."

"A long and fun trip in the boat, really had time to learn how to do things and enjoy trying everything out. Had some really great waves which really raised the hart beat. You can choose how much you want to do and how big waves you want to take. All together with a really nice captain!"

"We had a fantastic afternoon with Bruce, Marty, and James. They were able to setup a tour and short notice and varying weather. The Buller was very high due to heavy rain which made the rafting incredible. We felt truly safe with the team and safety was their top priority"
