Great for families, work functions, and children.
Your multi-day family adventure.
Our Waimakariri multi day trip starts with a scenic drive towards Arthurs Pass where you will be surrounded by lakes, mountains and spectacular scenery.
What better way to get the kids out of the house than a multi day family adventure, where all you have to worry about is turning up.
This is an exciting and educational experience for the kids, especially first timers.
It is also a pretty cool spot for the parents as well and is one of our favourite trips to run.
There are a few fun kid friendly rapids and plenty of spots to swim, but the scenery is definitely something else.
We start our raft trip high in the braided section of the Waimakariri where we will raft for 3-4 hours to our chosen campsite.
We camp out riverside for the night and cook amazing food over the campfire.
