The ultimate rafting trip.  Immerse yourself in the rugged wilderness of the West Coast on a 3 day guided rafting adventure.  Paddle through grade 3-4 rapids of the Landsborough Valley, through dense rain forest, taking in hanging glaciers and wildlife.

Three-course meals, New Zealand wine, and a helicopter flight included.  A perfect mix of tranquillity and pure adventure.

This is the ultimate experience for lovers of the outdoors. Here, you'll get access to some of the area's most remote landscape, as you explore some of NZ's most spectacular scenery.  In parts tranquil, in other parts wet and wild, you'll find yourself paddling past hanging glaciers, impossibly high mountains, and through some lush, dense rainforest.
