You set the pace:

Tell us what you want and let us design the trip for you. Our ideal is to let you sleep in, then let you have a relaxing drift downstream to the next campsite. Setup early and drink in the natural beauty. This trip is very dependent on flow levels. Book early in the season to make sure you can seize this opportunity.

The Ngaruroro has great trout fishing that is only accessible by raft, and is best experienced during spring flow (October to December). 

Customise your trip:

The possibilities are endless on these trips – please contact us to customise a trip to suit you. Go fishing, walking, swimming, or relax – tell us what you prefer.
