Experience Wellington's wildest day out. Conquer rapids through a pristine gorge then tackle a 30m cliff rappel then enjoy riverside lunch and thrilling rock jumps along the way. This combo packs rafting and abseiling into one unforgettable outdoor adventure.
Embark on an exhilarating journey through the stunning Waiohine Gorge where emerald waters and rugged cliffs create a playground for adventure seekers. Your day begins with a scenic rafting expedition down the wild Waiohine River. Navigate Grade 2 rapids, pause at cascading waterfalls for group photos and bond with your companions as you leap from sun-warmed rocks into refreshing pools.
After your river odyssey, enjoy a well-earned catered lunch on the riverbank while our expert guides prepare you for the next thrill: a heart-pounding 30 metre abseil. Feel your pulse quicken as you step over the edge then relish the rush of adrenaline as you rappel down the towering rock face to the river below. This dual adventure is perfect for ages 8 and up making it an ideal choice for memorable kids birthday parties or a confidence-boosting challenge for adults. Discover the thrill of conquering both water and rock in one action-packed day.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
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.
