Wild Rivers Rafting

Raft the legendary Earthquake Rapids, a classic New Zealand whitewater run though a stunning rainforest--the section with the most whitewater in the breathtaking Buller Gorge.

Adventurers will experience plenty of whitewater action and can challenge themselves at the ‘swim’ rapid and the optional 8 metre cliff jump. Two trips daily: 10am and 2 pm.  Give it a go!

FIRST RAFTING TRIP? NO WORRIES!

Your guides will give you full rafting safety instruction. Marty and Bruce are committed to making your river trip not only safe, but the best you’ll experience. Because the Buller 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 river flow when you book.
