The guide was very knowledgeable and we were glad to have our particular guide. The whole staff was very very professional, upbeat and kind. Had a great time. I will say that being in good health is a good idea.

First off- YOUR GOING TO GET WET, maybe not soaked like I did, but expect at least your feet to be soaked. Not to worry your wearing booties over a full body wetsuit, a sweater and then another blue rain jacket on-top of it all. Changing into dry clothes at the end was a blessing! THE WATER IS ICE COLD,... More

Went rafting with a friend and both of us had a great day. The kiwi guide Ben made the day even better by bringing out everyones personalties. An initially quiet group of mostly strangers felt like we had spent the trip rafting with friends by the end. So if your on your own or in a small group its defiantly... More

We were a party of 9 with 5 teenage kids. Our Guide Chris was an excellent instructor and made us feel at ease even with the perceived dangers of WW Rafting. Cliff Jumping was the highlight of our tour, Chris and his team made sure we were safe and were having lot of fun. (They did have to throw a... More

I was a bit nervous about the idea of rafting. Over 60 and with minor back problems I'd made excuses to myself to not try it. But it was SO MUCH FUN! Yes, I got wet and the water was cold, but Chinook provided wetsuits and spray jackets for all, so getting wet was part of the fun. Once on... More

We looked for a rafting option that fits our kids age (4,9,13). Chinook had a good fit with their basic rafting tour. Some excitement but really not too much for the age. Arthur was so good with the kids and was informative and fun for all the group. Little expensive, but nice experience.
