I rafted with Eco-Rafting back in March on the Whataroa.

All I can say is, wow! I’ve rafted all over the United States, and I chose Eco-Rafting simply based on the amazing photos posted on the web-site. I must say, my expectations were high and they were not just met, but exceeded!

The day started with a scenic helicopter ride following the Whataroa up to our drop-off point. The scenic ride alone was amazing. Then after a safety briefing on land and on the water, we were off. The rapids were exhilarating and the river gorges were absolutely stunning. When we stopped for lunch, Josh led us back to waterfall and crystal clear stream flowing into the blue waters of the Whataroa. If you were inclined, you could jump off the ledge for a swim. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. Lunch was delicious and fun (served out of a bucket with a paddle). After lunch, it was back on the river for more rapids, until we arrived at where we started our day. Wicker and Josh were fantastic guides. You could tell safety was a priority, but so was the fun and enjoyment of the day.

In summary, this was an amazing one-day excursion. I highly recommend Eco-Rafting. This trip on the Whataroa was top-notch and I’m sure it will be on any river with Josh and Eco-Rafting.
