Very cool trip, gorgeous scenery. No rapids as gnarly as the 7M drop in Rotorua, but probably more fun overall. Included...

Wanting a very crusie relaxing experience for all the family or a more youthful active adventure, try this. We did the ezi 5hr paddle. Took my mother (76yrs) & her 8 friends (12yr to 85yr) for a 5hr trip to see the great white cliffs & boulders. Our lunch break along the river was supplied at the perfectly rounded boulders in a forest that was an easy walking distance from the river. These boulders are 2 times larger than the Moeraki Boulders, down in North Otago. Me, being a double leg amputee I found this trip very accessible. There are plenty of other types of rafting options that you can experience with these guys, from extreme rafting/kayaking to an ezi paddling adventure. They cover all the bases. Their toasted sandwiches back at base, rock! Accomodation we stayed in the night before, was at the Loghouse in Mangaweka. There are options where you can stay at the very scenic motor camp down by the river(cabins/tent sites). ENJOY!

We did the Grand Canyon rafting, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone was really welcoming. The canyon was beautiful and our guide was lovely! If you don't have as long (our rafting trip finished at about 4) they do shorter rapids trips too, but if you have a day to spend taking in the scenery and having a leisurely ride, lunch by the river & a swim if you want, then we would definitely recommend it. Plus you can even see where they filmed some of the Lord of the Rings film. Bonus!
