Tongariro River Rafting
Looking for something different?
It’s here! The first weekend in February is the Recreational Release weekend on the Tongariro River. It’s double the flow and double the fun!
Saturday 4th February
Whitewater Rafting
Our grade 3 Whitewater Rafting usually flows at 16 cumecs but it will be pumping through at 35 cumecs. Trips depart at either 9am or 2pm and we provide a Taupo pick up for the afternoon trip which departs at 1pm. Including ‘deli style’ meal when we get back to base. We supply all rafting and safety apparel, clients only need swimwear and towel. Cost: $115 Adult $105 Child. Minimum age 10 years. OARSOME fun!
Sunday 5th February
Rangipo Dam to Tree Trunk Gorge
This is one of the hidden gems of the Tongariro River. Only raft-able on the recreational release days this section is grade 4 and takes about 1 1/2 hours to run. Spectacular scenery and massive whitewater. If this section flowed all the time it would be one of the most rafted sections of river in the country. It is pure magic. Trip departs 10am from our base in Turangi. We will provide a pick up from Taupo which will depart at 9am. Including 'deli style' lunch. We supply all river and safety apparel clients only need swimwear and towel. Cost: $115 per person. (minimum age 10 years) Not be missed!
