Join us on a wild ride down the legendary Buller River Earthquake Rapids, the section with the most whitewater in the breath taking Buller Gorge.
Adventurers will experience plenty of white water action. Challenge yourself at the "swim" rapid and the optional 8 metre cliff jump.
First Rafting Trip? - No worries! Your guides will give you full rafting safety instruction and are committed to making your river trip not only safe, but the best experience possible.
Because the Buller River is a large volume wild river with no dams to regulate the flow, the rapid Grade 3 to 4 varies with rainfall. Ask us about the river flow when you book.
Duration: River time 2+ hours. Allow 4 hours total.
Meeting point: Meet your guides on SH 6 at the Iron Bridge between Murchison and Westport. We'll transport you to the river trip start. Please see the map or ask us for directions if unsure.

Ein großer Spaß
Zwei nette Typen haben sich super um uns als Rafting-Neulinge gekümmert. Unser Guide James hat das Boot so gekonnt gesteuert, dass wir auch bei niedrigem Wasserstand durchaus unseren nassen Spaß in den Stromschnellen hatten.

Wenn Rafting dann hier!
Super persönlich. Die beiden Guides sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber super sympathisch. Die Raftingstrecke ist bei niedrigem Wasserstand nicht zu anspruchsvoll. Hat trotzdem riesigen Spaß gemacht. Alles sehr persönlich. Dauerte bei uns etwa von 10 bis 14 Uhr, alles in allem. Anschließend gabs Kekse und Kaffee! Lohnt sich sehr!!!
