WHITE
WATER RAFTING ON THE KAWARAU RIVER
The Extreme Green Rafting Kawarau River expedition is an environmental
adventure combining the challenge of wild water with stunning scenery.
The Kawarau is New Zealand's largest commercially rafted river earning
it an international reputation for white water thrills.
Flowing through the rugged Kawarau Gorge and overlooked by the extensive
Chard Farm and Gibbston Valley wineries, it is a constantly changing
mix of calm, gentle waters and boiling rapids.
The Kawarau Gorge is steeped in history and scenic highlights.
The unique nature of the canyon allows cliff jumping or even a swim
in the smaller rapids. The grand finale is the 400 metre Chinese
Dog Leg rapid - adrenaline inducing and heart pumping - providing
one of the biggest white water rides in NZ.
