Real NZ Shotover River Whitewater Rafting

Queenstown Central, Queenstown



Raft on the iconic Shotover River for a whitewater rapid adventure where jetboats fear to go and prepare to take a rapid in the face as you hold on during these four-hour paddle experiences.  
 
Start with an unforgettable coach trip through Skippers Canyon, famous for its exciting cliff edges, enough to get your adrenaline pumping before we hit the water. 

Experience grade 3-5 whitewater rapids in one of the most scenic environments in the world.  The rapids can change on a daily basis, but be assured our guides are expertly trained and have a keen sense of adventure.  They will guide you through canyons, navigate the rapids and the famous 170m Oxenbridge tunnel to finish.

What’s included:

  • Shuttle bus from our Queenstown store to the Rafting Base
  • Full wetsuit, rafting clothing and all safety equipment
  • Extensive safety briefing
  • Shuttle bus to Deep Creek via Skippers Canyon Road
  • Rafting on the Shotover River
