Family Float Grade 2 Whitewater Adventure in Tongariro River
Description
Our highly trained and enthusiastic guides are experts in easing any nerves, especially if it's your first time. They'll keep you entertained and informed about the stunning scenery and wildlife you'll encounter as you drift along. During your adventure, you'll have the chance to meet our friends the Whio, highly endangered native blue ducks that inhabit the Tongariro River. They often live in pairs along the riverbanks—see if you can spot them! The waters of the Tongariro are pristine and crystal clear, thanks to natural springs. Keep an eye out for the large rainbow and brown trout that thrive in these waters.

We all had a great time and they were super professional.
Thank you very much for making time to leave such a lovely review, we do appreciate it.
brilliant fun, stunning scenery, cool guide (Fletcher).
Awesome to hear you had an unforgettable time with Fletcher and the rest of our crew! Thanks for making time to leave such a great review
We had a fantastic trip with guide Rata, who was awesome on the job! She got us through the water with quite some thrill and we all got home safe 😘 we had lots of fun and would always recommend that tour for families with smaller children! (Our daughter is 5 years old and had not raftet before). What an amazing experience! And a big „thank you“ to Rata once more!
She is a real gem, our Rata! Our Grade 2 is perfect entry level for young families with enough waves and splashes to make it a fun experience for everyone. Thank you so much for making time to leave us a review.
We are a family of four - Dad, a nervous Mum, Miss 7 and Miss 5 and we absolutely loved the trip. The rapids are very kind on a young family. The guide (Kate) was so sweet and patient with the girls. They were absolutely buzzing after the trip. We also got to see native birds up close and take a cheeky dip at the end of the trip. We will be going back again.
Yesss! We love being part of your family memories and getting you comfortable out there on the river. You are so right, Kate is an absolute gem and we are lucky to have her with us. See you next time!
It was a wonderful, nice, and safe experience, especially for my kid, who is always afraid of any adrenaline rush activity.
Awesome to hear that everyone had a good time, we love when the kids are having a good time too! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Context, two 64 year olds looking for a bit of fun without necessarily experiencing heart thumping moments ! Having said that our grade 2 rafting was great, we shared the boat with a young family and great fun all of the way. Our guide, Rata, was excellent giving good clear instructions and adding plenty of fun. Added bonus was seeing a family of Blue Duck, apparently very rare. The whole trip was very well organised with friendly staff. All kit was in good condition.
You are so right, the Grade 2 provides some gentle rafting fun with plenty of splashes, waves and beautiful scenery, seeing Blue Ducks (Whio) is an added bonus. Rata is a gem, we are lucky to have her back with us this season. Thank you for making time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
We had a good guide who gave us a very enjoyable experience. It was Lots of fun. The family grade 2 trip is Highly recommended.
Great to hear you enjoyed your time on the river with us, the Grade 2 is the perfect trip for families with young children or those who want to enjoy a leisurely scenic trip. Thank you for making time to leave us a review, much appreciated
Great family activity with beautiful nature and some action. Very friendly guide that answered all our and our kids’ questions. Our kids are between 8 and 12 and really enjoyed it. It is definitely doable for younger kids as well!
Great to hear you created some awesome new family memories! Thanks for making time to leave a review too, we appreciate it.
This was our first ever time rafting and we loved it! From the moment we arrived - Fletcher, Jen and Ollie made us feel relaxed and excited! Fletcher was extremely patient and knowledgeable of the local area and clearly loves what he does. In the words of my 12yr old son - Oscar - it was freaking awesome, the water was a little chilly bro haha Thank you again and we highly recommend this activity for an intro to white water rafting - bring on grade 3 lol Cheers Kirsty Carvey (Rockhampton, Australia)
We love hearing when people have blast on our river. Fletcher is definitely in his element on the river! The TRR crew can't wait to see you all back to level up to the Grade 3
There were 6 of us, 2 children ages 9 and 6. We had a great time with our guide who was funny, knowledgeable and very skilled. The day had rain but we were warm in all the gear they provided and it was fantastic to raft in cloudy weather.
Rainy days are great rafting days, it just adds to the whole atmosphere! Thanks for letting us know that you all had a great time, we do appreciate you making the time to leave us a review.
