White water Rafting
This half-day Tongariro River journey is one of the best rafting adventures in New Zealand. The rapids are Grade Three, which makes this an ideal adventure for expert or first-time rafters alike.
Gentle Family Floats
This leisurely two-hour trip down the soft, tumbling waters of the Lower Tongariro brings the magic alive for first time rafters and especially children. You still get to paddle and there are some small rapids to navigate but nothing too wet or wild.
Raft Fishing
The Tongariro River is world famous for its trout fishing. Most of the upper river however can only be reached by kayak or raft. This wilderness section of the river, with its crystal clear pools and unspoilt runs, gets minimal angling pressure compared to the lower Tongariro and can therefore deliver exceptional fishing.
Kayaking Tours
Tongariro River Rafting can tailor a kayak tour to suit all abilities. From mild to wild, our expert instructors will ensure you enjoy an unforgettable adventure on the beautiful waters of the Tongariro River.
All kayaking adventures use sit-on-top kayaks so no prior experience is necessary.
We supply all Rafting, Kayaking and safety equipment for our trips.
Mountain Biking
Southern Lake Taupo has some of the best mountain bike country in New Zealand. We know trails that ride through ancient beech forests, alongside magnificent trout rivers and past huge volcanoes. We also have exclusive access to 3,800 hectares of trails.
