About This Trip

Immerse yourself in the raw power of the Buller River on this exclusive full-day adventure.

The "Earthquake Run" takes you through sections of the Buller Gorge dramatically transformed by the massive 1929 Murchison Earthquake. This is more than just a rafting trip; it's a journey through geological history.

We stop midway at a scenic riverside spot for a hearty lunch, giving you time to soak in the remote beauty of the West Coast native bush.

  • The History: Learn about the 1929 earthquake that reshaped the landscape.
