Awesome white rafting

Rafting was the highlight of our trip to the South Island. Great value for money. They kit you out in wetsuits etc all you need is swimmers and towel. Rafting instructions were clear. It was really fun. Special call out to the staff, they were all amazing and seemed genuine in their love of rafting and looking after customers. Really great - just do it !! 😀
