Kawarau River Whitewater Rafting with Jet Boat Ride

9.4
Exceptional
103 reviews

Here is your chance to pair two of Queenstown’s most iconic experiences. Pack in those famous 360-degree spins and dramatic canyon walls as you discover the Kawarau River and its pristine wilderness. The Queenstown Jet Boat will race down the river to your next mode of transport. Jump straight into a raft with the team to complete the last section of the river, where jet boats fear to go. Soak in the impressive sights while rafting through the historic Kawarau gorge, famous for its gold mining, wineries, and stint in the Lord of the Rings franchise.

Paddle and swim your way through grade 2–3 whitewater rapids, with a brand-new cliff jumping section added for adventure junkies. Complete your journey by tackling the famous 400-meter Dog Leg rapid, the longest commercially rafted rapid in New Zealand. Then head back to Rafting Base for a hot shower.
