Don't under estimate how long this activity takes when you're planning your day. It's an exciting event. We did the shotover river which is the more difficult trip. The 45 min bus drive over the unsealed road that twists and turns where you could drop off at the cliff is truly exciting and that bus driver definitely deserves a pay rise. The guides were informative and fun, had plenty of jokes and history about the area. They do their best to remind you of the dangers of the activity but despite their attempts there's still an ignorance and illusion of safety which adds to the fun. The 2 hour rafting is beautiful and exciting. The first bit is easier to get everyone used to the commands and paddling the boat. You do need a good level of fitness as if you're not paddling you're most likely going to end up in the water. At times you come up to other rafters and the guides joke around and encourage races in the calm bits and splashing of each other. My partner struggle with his long legs in the boat for that time, suffering many cramps one which resulted in me and another passenger falling off during the squeeze as the boat ended up vertical against the rock face due to failure to lean right. It is a dangerous activity and despite all my efforts I left the trip with a split lip and busted up hand. But that's also part of the fun. I appreciate that my guide didn't baby me over my bloody lip and continued joking around but also ensured I was comfortable before getting back in the boat. The scariest bit wasn't being in the rapids itself but not knowing where my partner was once he was also outside of the boat. Overall a good experience and grounding moment. This review would be 5 star if it wasn't for the retail staff back at Queenstown. The check in was lacklustre, with the staff member on her phone for a minute before looking up at us. The staff selling the merchandise was equally uninterested in us purchasing anything and honestly seemed ready to go home.

Superb and unforgettable experience! Fun and exciting! The trainers were good and clear in their instructions. I highly recommend this to people who are looking for activities that are able to give them a good adrenaline rush in Queenstown! 👍🏻

Despite being a first time rafter and somewhat hesitant I found this rafting experience boring. Limited rapids and lots of gentle water. We spent about 2 hours in the water. Best thing about this was the sauna at the end.

Amazing experience! We did the Shotover River Rafting. Have never been rafting before and this was such an amazing way to try it out! The staff were super friendly! Would highly recommend this!!
