River Experience:

The 4/5 section of the Mohaka is a very challenging, beautiful and less traveled part of the river. It requires paddlers to be attentive and active in the rafts. This stretch is sure to leave lasting memories for years to come.

Long Rapid is the first rapid of this section and a spectacular place. During higher flows, the majority of the rocks are covered with water creating waves and hydraulics all around. This trip brings you into some of the most impressive gorges on the North Island, the scale of the walls and rocks will amaze.

Tricky sections require constant paddling to make it down the correct channels and avoid rocks. Guests need to be fit enough to exert themselves for several minutes without to much strain. It is important to note that there are sections where walking may be required, and will be difficult.

  • Clothes to change into after trip
