This Queenstown River Surfing Adventure is not for the faint-heated! Take on the mighty Kawarau river, and learn skills such as running rapids, surfing standing waves, riding whirlpools and more! Ideal for thrill-seekers, this mind-blowing experience whilst crazy, has a 100% safety record!
And you thought riding any rapid was fun... try a freshwater Grade 3 or 4! Depending on the water level, you'll be taken to one of two sections of river known as awesome river-surfing destinations. In small groups no larger then ten, you'll be shown basic technique by experienced, qualified instructors. From there you'll have the time of your life - surf standing waves and then on your front, ride whirlpools, rock jump and even learn squirting (flying under water)!
This amazing day out includes ALL EQUIPMENT and return travel to the rapids from Queenstown! Hassle-free adventure!
