A day on the Rangitikei River is one of those experiences families talk about long after they get home. The 13km scenic section downstream from River Valley Lodge is the perfect introduction to river rafting - safe, beautiful, and genuinely fun for all ages. Over 30 Grade 2 rapids keep things lively without being intimidating, while the stunning canyon scenery does the rest. It's a full day on the water, complete with a gourmet picnic lunch on the river bank. Whether you're looking for something memorable to do with kids, or simply want a relaxed adventure with friends, this is a trip that delivers every single time. No experience necessary, just a sense of adventure and a healthy appetite for the great outdoors.
