This is an adventure like no other, paddling one of New Zealand’s most spectacular mountain rivers in our fun, inflatable packrafts. Start your action packed day with a scenic shuttle drive beneath the towering mountains, glaciers and waterfalls of the Matukituki Valley. After refreshments its gear-on, safety brief and paddle tuition before heading down-river on our stable and strong packrafts. Ride the wave trains, paddle into calm eddies and float with the river flow. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the river bank and play in turquoise swimming holes as you continue paddling down river. By the time the day is done your guide will have you paddling like a pro. You'll be accompanied by one of our friendly 'shuttle support' dogs on the drive, please let us know if this might be an issue for you and we can arrange otherwise.

  • 5Amazing Pack rafting on the Matukituki River

    This pack rafting experience on the Matukituki river is amazing. Our driver Sue was super friendly and we stopped at the beautiful Wishbone waterfall on the way up the valley. Guides Maya and Kaylee made sure we were safe and that we all had a fun time on the river. The scenery is absolutely stunning. Tasty, gourmet sandwiches awaited us after our paddling. If you get the chance, do this trip!

  • 5Great Day on the Matukituki River!

    Wow! Just Wow! An 11 on a scale of 10! A perfect (mild) adventure thanks to perfect Wanaka weather, the professional organization, and our friendly and considerate guide, Pete, and driver, Kaylee. This is an extremely well-organized day from the timely pick up, the scenic drive to the Matukituki River at Raspberry Flat with about 25k on gravel roads, the leisurely float down the river with enough minor rapids to make it interesting, and the smooth return to civilization. The price is more than reasonable for the quality of the experience. The water level was low, but that didn’t affect the stunning scenery. Our group had the river to ourselves. The paddling and safety equipment was all top notch. The 2-person inflatable kayak was easy to handle and survived a couple of, oops, scrapes along the bottom. Pete’s instructions were clear and delivered with a Kiwi sense of humor and a smile. It was clear that he loves his job and SAFELY sharing the river with visitors. If (when?) we return to NZ again, we would love to book another ride down the Matukituki River.

  • 5Great time, even with the low water.

    Great views and great guide. The river was low, but that was to be expected during the drought. Still made it even with low levels. Nice peaceful ride. Thank you!!

About Wānaka

Wānaka is a lakeside town in New Zealand's Southern Alps, set below snowy peaks, a gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park and the ski fields.

Wānaka sits at the southern end of Lake Wānaka in the Otago region of the South Island, with mountains rising on every side. A path follows the lakefront past the lone willow that stands in the water, which has become a symbol of the town. Roys Peak, with its zigzag track, and Mount Iron give views over the lake and the valley. The town has cafés, galleries and a nearby wine region.
