Accelerate your heart rate during this action-packed whitewater rafting adventure on the mighty Shotover River. Take on grade 3-5 rapids like the Squeeze, Pinball and Aftershock, before heading through the 170m Oxenbridge Tunnel and the epic Cascade rapid.
Get your dose of adrenaline during this whitewater rafting experience on the Shotover River. Begin with an unforgettable coach ride into Skippers Canyon, renowned for its hair-raising cliff edges and gold mining history. Upon arrival, listen in on a thorough safety briefing before boarding the raft, ready to get wild. Get a feel for the raft as you initially paddle from Deep Creek over peaceful waters. Then, before you know it, you'll be taking on a number of grade 3-5 rapids including Aftershock, Squeeze, Toilet, Pinball and Jaws. Keep the heart rate racing as you raft the 170m Oxenbridge Tunnel, followed by the grade 3 Cascade rapid. Warm up with a hot shower at Rafting Base before your return to Queenstown.
Minimum of eight participants.
Due to constantly changing river conditions, it is advisable to contact the experience provider 24 hours before to check river conditions and your booking.
Please bring a towel and swimwear. Full wetsuit and rafting clothing will be provided.
RealNZ is going cashless on all food and beverage purchases in experience. This means that all food and beverage purchases aboard our vessels in Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Queenstown, and Te Anau, as well as at Walter Peak and the Manapouri Café, will no longer accept cash. A cashless system will provide a smoother, more efficient experience for both our guests and staff. Our payment terminals accept all major credit cards and debit cards, including AMEX, WeChat Pay, AliPay and Union Pay, as well as contactless payment options like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Note: Fee of 1.5% applies to food and beverage purchases by credit card only. The fee does not apply to purchases in Retail Store at Walter Peak, or merchandise purchased from our Visitor Centres.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
