Top Queenstown White Water Rafting

We loved our day trip to Milford Sound! Mac was a spectacular tour guide and driver. He was hilarious and also very knowledgeable about the region and history. Logistics were super easy with clear communication, pick up and drop off, and a solid packed lunch. And the van was very comfortable too. The boat cruise was beautiful and we had a great time in the rain (and snow!) viewing all of the waterfalls and some seals. Spending the day with Mac and the other awesome travelers in our van made the experience a 10/10 - above and beyond our expectations!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience ziplining with Emma and Jake! We chose the 6 line longer adventure and had a blast. The views of the lake and the Remarkables were truly remarkable... highly recommend. It was a pleasure talking with our guides at each stop and getting to know them, as well as learning more about their conservation efforts. Definitely worth the adventure and a fun way back down the mountain!

I am 79 and I went with my 44 year old son and we were in the front row. We had the best time. The 360 degree turns were especially thrilling. We had a great driver in Sam who responded positively to the overwhelming acclaim from the passengers. An hour was just the right length of time for this experience. You passed through various landscapes but always the Remarkables were there to remind us why they are remarkable. Highly recommended for all ages.

This tour was a brilliant way to see some truly beautiful countryside. The bus trip from Glenorchy to Queenstown was a pleasant and scenic way to start the day, and then when we arrived the staff at the Glenorchy base were really helpful in getting us kitted out in wetsuits, boots and safety gear before we hopped on to the jet boat for a thrilling ride up the river which would have been a great day out just on its own. Switching across to the funyaks these were really enjoyable albeit sometimes being a little bit more work to keep on track, but our guides were very helpful with advice and encouragement for our journey back down the river and it was a lot of fun. Paddling through the gorge was definitely the highlight - it was stunningly beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. Would thoroughly recommend the experience, though next time would be more proactive with insect repellent to keep the sandflies away. Finally, particular thanks go to the staff both for their kindness towards the kids and for reuniting me with my phone after it fell out on the bus back to Queenstown.

At first, I was really nervous because I was worried I might get thrown out of the boat, especially when it started turning! But once I found my bearings and got comfortable, I was able to relax and really enjoy the experience. By the end, I was even confident enough to put my arms up while the boat was turning! Such a fun and thrilling experience! I’d definitely do it again!

White water rafting was an incredible experience. Our guides (so sorry cannot remember their names) were awesome and made the rapids even that much more fun. Even got an opportunity to swim a bit and do some cliff jumping. This is a very family friendly event since the rapids were only level 2/3 (not bad at all), so for first timers, this is the one for you.

What a 10/10 experience! Our tour guide was Jacob, and just like in the movie Twilight, I’m team Jacob. My dad loved it, and he’s from New Jersey, they don’t like anything. My dad also said Jacob was very friendly and knowledgeable and he felt “safe in his hands”. Personally, I felt like he projected his voice really well. Kind of like he was doing it from his diaphragm. I digress, you should do this tour, it’s great!

Awesome trip. From the check in, transportation, debriefing, equipment to the jet boat and the rafting, everything was well organised, very professional and with a lot of humour. The jet boat was fun and Dan gave us some 360 and showed a tip from the boat abilities. In the rafting part, the river was amazing and Josh, our guide, took us safely through swimming, rock jumping and rapids crossing with a lot of funny and interesting talks in between. It was perfect! Everyone in the family loved it😎
