Paddle down a crystal clear river but watch out for the rapids!

Rafting down a grade 2 river will make certain for an exciting and enjoyable experience. The river changes quickly – drift down calm, serene waters to rough and rocky rapids. Our experienced guides mean anyone can enjoy our Thrillseekers rafting adventure. The rafts can hold up to 10 people including the guide, so this is perfect for families and groups. Be sure to bring your swim gear, a towel and plenty of sunscreen.

Hanmer Springs provides an idyllic backdrop to an unforgettable rafting experience. Set between stunning mountains and marble river beds, it’s easy to see why this is a favourite adventure for many.
