Explore Volcanic Landscapes And Navigate Exciting River Rapids On This Ultimate New Zealand Adventure


Embark on an unforgettable full day adventure that perfectly blends dramatic volcanic exploration with exhilarating water action in the heart of New Zealand. Your journey begins with a fully guided walk on the iconic Mt Tarawera, a mountain forever shaped by its massive eruption in eighteen eighty six. As you traverse the rugged volcanic terrain, your guide shares powerful stories about how this event formed the world’s youngest geothermal valley, Waimangu, and destroyed the legendary Pink and White Terraces.


Along the trail, you will enjoy breathtaking three hundred sixty degree panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. For those seeking an extra thrill, there is an optional opportunity to run into the heart of the volcanic crater, making the experience both exciting and deeply meaningful for visitors of all ages. This portion of the tour provides a unique perspective on the geological forces that have shaped this stunning region over the past century and beyond.


After conquering the heights of the volcano, the adventure shifts to the Kaituna River for an action packed river sledging experience. Surrounded by lush native scenery, you will navigate exciting rapids and playful river features while riding at eye level with the water. Using specialized flippers to propel your own sled, you remain in full control of your journey as expert guides offer constant support and encouragement to ensure your safety throughout the entire river run.


With no previous experience required, this fun and accessible activity is perfect for families, first time adventurers, and thrill seekers alike. The combination of geological discovery and high energy water sports creates a balanced day of excitement in the great outdoors. By the end of the trip, you will have experienced the best of New Zealand’s natural beauty and adrenaline fueled activities, leaving you with memories of a truly unique and well rounded adventure.
