Overview

The Kawarau River is the ideal Queenstown whitewater rafting destination for an introduction to the sport, with four rapids that provide a great balance of excitement and scenic enjoyment. Between rapids you'll experience some calm stretches of river coupled with a unique perspective of the historic Kawarau Bungee Bridge that your raft will gradually pass under. On this 4 - 5 hour Kawarau rafting experience, you'll encounter rapids ranging between grades 2 to 3, with a route taken to suit the group's ability level. Capping off the rafting adventure and acting as a "Grand Finale" is the highly memorable, 400m Dog Leg Rapid that will give you a final rush for the day and provide a fitting end to your whitewater rafting adventure on New Zealand's largest volume commercially-crafted river.
