You’ll be seduced by The Rangitikei. It grabs your imagination, knots your stomach at high water and let’s your spirit run free on sunny low water days. It’ll beat you, rollick you and if you’re not scared sometimes, it’s possible you’re a paddle short of the imagination needed to stay alive!
Get an overload of joy, exhilaration, and ‘stomach in your mouth’ moments when you raft this challenging white water. Ready?  Contact us now!.
It’s Grade Five rafting  - that’s Class Five - if you’re from the USA – on the Rangitikei River, near Taihape, New Zealand. This is steep, technical, New Zealand White Water Rafting at it's best.

Why Choose Grade 5 White Water?
