NORTH CANTERBURY FISH

Rafting is in the nature of an “extreme sport” and as such, has inherent dangers and risks, including the risk of injury or death to the participant. While your tour guides are skilled and experienced, due to the nature of river rafting, Southern White Water limited is unable to be in any way responsible for any injury or death of the participant. Due to the remote location of our tours, medical aid or evacuation can be delayed for hours or even days. Please carefully read Southern White Water limited’s terms and conditions, which include important information regarding the risks and dangers of river rafting, outline your rights and obligations, and limit Southern White Water limited’s liability. Southern White Water limited’s terms and conditions apply to the extent permitted under New Zealand law.
