White Water Rafting

Discover the thrill of whitewater rafting in New Zealand. The South Island of New Zealand includes some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. Fed by the winter snowfalls in the Southern Alps, the rivers of the South Island of New Zealand are ideal for white water rafting. Two of the best whitewater rafting options are around the Queenstown region, as well as at Whataroa on the West Cost of the South Island near Franz Josef Glacier.
