Top Queenstown White Water Rafting

The scenery throughout the trip was absolutely breathtaking — the snow-capped mountain peaks created a stunning contrast with the deep blue waters of Lake Wakatipu. Ash, our tour guide and driver, was genuinely passionate and knowledgeable. He shared a wealth of interesting background information about Queenstown and Glenorchy that really enriched the experience. The morning tea included in the tour was also thoughtfully prepared and delicious.

We had such fabulous guides Dannika and Reev who made our experience such fun, encouraged us every step of the way. Educated us in the ways of looking after the environment how it benefits us all. Loved every minute of this experience, can't wait to do this again.

Great cruise along Lake Wakatipu with lots of great commentary from our captain Tyler. Lots of brilliant photo ops and stunning scenery along the way. Loved the warming cup of mulled wine bought from the onboard bar/cafe. Highlight was sitting in the captains chair to steer the boat and get photos. Highly recommend.

A must do while in Queenstown! My husband and I had the best time on this experience! A quick 10 min drive out of Queenstown, plenty of parking, and really easy to find. There is a lovely brewery/restaurant next to the river to grab a beer/bite before or after the jet boat ride. We didn't eat, but the beers were good! (The food did look good though.) Shotover was running about 10 min behind for the day, so we didn't get on the river at our schedule time, but it was within 10 min. The weather was a perfect fall day, and the sun was out, but it was still a bit chilly on the river. You will get wet, so dress for the experience. Josh, our boat captain, was awesome! He was fun, knowledgeable, and a very skilled driver. He constantly checked-in to make sure everyone was okay and having a good time. You can tell he loves what he does for a living. The views down the river and through the canyons are stunning. The only downfall of the experience is that you can't take photos or videos while the boat is moving. You really have to take it all in and be present in the moment to get the full experience, which is good. The boat gets so close to the rocks and you feel the cold, fresh water on your face -- it is awesome. I would recommend this experience to anyone who visits Queenstown and I would do it again myself.

This was absolutely worth every cent! We enjoyed it so much, I seriously considered another ticket for the next available ride. Do it!!!! My only issue is a problem with downloading the pictures but they are working with me on that and I appreciate that

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😎
