It was very fun. The whole activity was well organised. Our guide Kai was chilled and looked after us very well. We had a great time

I really felt my confidence improve whilst practicing manoeuvres early on and my guide Jess checking my paddle technique.

Es war ein aufregendes Abenteuer. Allein die Hinfahrt zum Einstieg in den Fluss mit den Booten. Es hat total Spaß gemacht. Und ich fühlte mich jederzeit sicher 👍

Fabulous day! Water was high and so the river was great. However, I need to also shout out to the great staff and organization. Everything was very smooth, organized and professional. I've rafted in Canada and Argentina and this was the best!

Awesome ❤️❤️👍


Highlights

Take a bus from Queenstown into Skippers Canyon and go whitewater rafting on the Shotover River. The highlight is tackling six Grade 4–5 rapids and rafting through the dark, 170 m-long Oxenbridge Tunnel. Wetsuits, rafting gear and a safety briefing are provided, and a guide rafts down the river with you. In the calmer stretches between rapids, you can take in the canyon scenery and even swim in the river.


Program

Meet in Queenstown and
travel to Skippers Canyon

Meet at Morning Star Reserve in Arthurs Point, then take a bus to Skippers Canyon and the Shotover River. On the way, you pass through the rugged, pristine nature of hard-to-reach Skippers Canyon.

 

Suit up and get a safety briefing

At the river, put on your wetsuit and learn about the rafting equipment from your guide. After the safety briefing, get in the water and start your rafting adventure.

 

Run six rapids and the Oxenbridge Tunnel

Raft down the Shotover River through six Grade 4–5 rapids. After Aftershock, Squeeze, Toilet and Pinball rapids, enter the darkness of the 170 m-long Oxenbridge Tunnel. A professional photography service is provided during the trip.

 

Swim and relax in the calm stretches

Between the rapids, enjoy the still water and the natural beauty of the canyon. Cool off with a swim in the river or relax in the sun. Finish your rafting adventure on the challenging Cascade rapid before returning to the base camp in Queenstown.

※ The activity runs in all weather conditions.
※ The local operator may cancel the trip due to minimum numbers not being met or road, weather or river conditions. In this case, you can reschedule to another departure or receive a full refund.
