We really loved our trip. Unfortunately the Shotover was too low so we were diverted to the Kawarau with speedboat. The guides did their best to make sure that we had a good time considering we signed up for the more adventurous of the trips and that we were not able to go was out of everyone’s control. We had fun floating down the river and jumping off the cliffs and made the most of it. I’d recommend RealNZ for their team. Danny (sp?) was a great host on the river.

Great day, all the guides were awesome. Jet boat Jess took us for a good spin on the water. The river was very calm that day so we actually spent most of the rafting part just swimming in the water being carried down stream and it was really beautiful. Stopped to do some cliff jumping which was fun, can’t remember for the life of me what our guide’s name was but he was hilarious and made it all a fun experience for us. Definitely recommend.
