Who Can Go

We can accommodate people of all ages and physical abilities keeping in mind that all trips are not suitable for everyone.

Powered Rafts

Controlled by the guide who steers with an outboard motor at the rear of the raft. People are required to hang on with both hands through the rapids. With the ride not quite as rough at the back of the raft as the front, this trip is suitable for a wide range of people. Minimum age 8 years accompanied by an adult.

Paddle Rafts

Requires people to participate and listen to commands from your guide. These trips can be a little more strenuous and demanding. Our minimum age for paddle rafting is 12 years old. 

Float trips are suitable for all ages 2 to 90 (no whitewater).

Our Guides

Our guides are skilled professionals experienced in all aspects of whitewater rafting and able to deal competently with all types of circumstances. They will handle your trip with confidence and assurance from the moment you embark until journey’s end – you can put your trust in them. All our guides are fully trained in Wilderness First Aid and CPR and each one will go that extra step to ensure you enjoy your rafting experience in safety and comfort. They’ll be pleased to answer your questions about sights and places along the river, so count on them to add that extra personal touch to your adventure.
