Rangitata Rafts

Fun and exciting white water rafting set in the rugged beauty of the Southern Alps - yet only a day trip from Christchurch. Enjoy this full day of adventure with our team of professional guides. Raft the exhilarating grade 1 - 5 rapids of the Rangitata Gorge. Or if you prefer a more sedate trip our fun grade 2 option is perfect.

FROM NZ $195.00

Rangitata Rafts is beautifully set at the foot of the Southern Alps. Located off the main tourist route we offer a genuine NZ rafting experience where we are proud to have the time to make your day a memorable one. Rafting the Rangitata gorge offers you some of New Zealand's most exciting stretches of white water. Conquer rapids grade 1 - 5, optional swimming in the calmer sections or test your nerve with a leap from a jump rock, all under the supervision of our professional guides. With 2.5 hours on the river there is time of our guides to prepare you for the action ahead. Or raft our gentle, fun grade 2 river option. This offers a great introduction to rafting whilst learning the history of the area. Join us as a day trip from Christchurch or drive yourselves. Meals included. Backpacker accommodation available.
