We had such a great time with Mohaka Rafting! The friendliness and organisation stood out the most. Their care for safety made it comfortable and fun! Loved the cliff jumping, exploring and stories. Defintely worth the experience with Mohaka. We enjoyed the Grade III and look forward to the next trip for Grade IV and V. More

This was an absolutely brilliant day out. Our guides Drew and Kendal were great fun; very laid back but clearly very competent too which made us all feel very safe. The scenery was lovely; parts of the NZ bush that you can't see any other way. And on the grade 3 you get to spend plenty of time floating down... More

What a fantastic trip the grade 3 rafting was with Gywn. We were lucky enough to have the raft to ourselves and the team from Mohaka made us feel at home with a relaxed atmosphere and wanting us to have a fab time. The trip down the river was great fun, Gwyn managing to get me very wet under a... More

I am NOT an adrenaline junkie, so at the age of 65, the thought of a full day's white water rafting filled me with trepidation, but husband and friends assured me it would just be 'a gentle drift down the river.' They lied! However, I am so glad they did.The whole experience was exhilarating and glorious and Kendall our pilot... More

Spending a day out in the wild of the Mohaka river was definitely a must-do activity to discover the beautiful landscape of NZ 's inland! I felt super safe with this very trustable organization and team! I went down the grade 3 section which let you enjoy the best scenery and gives you just a bit of a whitewater thrill.... More

My husband and I had a great time rafting with Gwyn, Kendall, and crew on the lower Mohaka on the 20th of January. Everyone was very friendly, professional, and safety conscious. Beautiful scenery and exciting rapids! Thanks to Norm and all for making this happen for us! More

This was a great day out for our family, including three older teenagers. Everyone loved the rafting experience, and it was the right level of adventure for the kids, but also doable by Mum! The team at Mohaka Rafting were fantastic and well prepared. We felt this was great value for money, and the cd of photos thrown in at... More

What a great day! Even a bus tyre blowing out on the way to the river did not dampen our fun. The staff got us off the bus, started some concurrent activity whilst the other staff repaired the tyre like a V8 race team! Before you know it we were on our way and on the river! All the family... More

For my first time rafting I was rather impressed with my experience. Thanks "Drew" for finding every rock in the river to keep us on our toes. The highlight would be surfing the rapids while paddling up stream with a sudden shout "Get Down" (and hang on). I highly recommend this adventure. If you don't leave with a smile on... More

Mohaka Rafting is a very professional organisation with excellent guides who made the experience very enjoyable. The scenery is amazing and by rafting the river you get a complete sense of the beauty of the NZ bush and rivers. I would love to try the grade 5 section of the river sometime in the future as I really enjoyed the... More
