-- About this video --

This afternoon, we check in at the Queenstown Rafting office in Queenstown on Shotover St then get picked up to hit the Queenstown Rafting base along the Shotover River. There, we get geared up before being taken on the dreaded Skippers Road at the Skippers Canyon. Yes, this is the third time we are doing an activity down one of the world’s most dangerous roads!

Once we get to the launch point to go white water rafting on the Shotover River, we have a safety briefing then divide into rafts. White water rafting is a team sport so we all have to work together to make sure we get over the rapids in one piece. The Shotover River is also one of the top New Zealand white water rafting locations.

The first part of the Shotover River is gentle giving us time to practice paddle commands with our guide before hitting the grade 3 rapids. As we go along the stunning Shotover River, the rapids get bigger, scarier and more extreme!

Our finale ends with a 172m long tunnel leading to a waterfall! Then it’s out of the rafts and to the cafe where they have a sauna. That was such an awesome place to go white water rafting in New Zealand!
