There's no better weekend than paddling through stunning gorges. Remote and tranquil, yet easily accessible with no long drives or epic portages. Relaxing paddling in awesome company. More

Lunch was so fresh and tasty, and we stopped on a beach where one of the scenes from the Lord of The Rings was shot. We wanted a beautiful scenic... More

The boys loved finding fossils and bringing them home to show family and friends and they even learned a lot while they enjoyed the ride. Beautiful day and great fun. Thank you from all of... More

We stayed one night at the campgrounds and this was clean &cheap. Basic but adequate, even had an oven in the kitchen which we were... More

My family of 4 and some friends family of 3 went rafting with Mangaweka Adventure Company about a month ago and it was fantastic!!!. Our kids are all under 5, so it is hard to find fun activities that all the family will enjoy, so this was perfect. Our guide Emma was amazing, the price was great, the scenery was... More
