Additional information

  • Swimming skills are required to participate. This means you won’t be daunted by the river's movement. Imagine being in the sea with medium waves around you where you can’t stand up and are tossed around a bit. If you feel comfortable with this, then you should be okay with whitewater rafting on the Shotover River

These should keep you adequately warm, and the ‘paddling action’ will definitely help. There are additional neoprene socks and gloves for winter rafting
