Safety

We want you to have the time of your life but your safety is our number one concern. The guides may choose to portage (walk around) difficult rapids if river conditions or group ability dictate.

We are a licensed operator and have an ongoing Safety Management System in place and an excellent safety record - we are experts at managing risk

Our team are trained, licensed and experienced swift water rescue technicians and have current first aid certifications. We are caring and entertaining individuals and are focused on giving you a safe and very enjoyable experience.

Where are we located?

We have 2 meeting points for our trips and both are located on the main highway in small towns and are very easy to find. Whataroa and Ross are the towns and both are within 1 hours drive of Franz Josef Glacier and Hokitika. There is only 1 main highway on the West Coast so you won't get lost and it is not out of the way so there is plenty of time to get to your destination or to do other activities
