High mountains in New Zealand make fast rivers and these kinds of river are ideal for rafting. There are three varieties of rafting in New Zealand; blue water on calm stretches of river for sightseeing purposes; “black water” through underground caves in Waitomo, Nelson, Marlborough or the West Coast of the South Island; and the main form, “white water” down the rapids of New Zealand’s many rivers.
A number of commercial operators provide anything from a brief adrenalin pumping descent of a couple of rapids to rafting and camping expeditions lasting several days and taking in a large part of the length of some of the longer rivers. Spring and summer are the most popular times, though the sport is available year round. South island rafting rivers are centered on around Queenstown.
If your operator is a member of the New Zealand River Guides Association, this indicates that they comply with the high standards set by this voluntary association.
