Awastone Raft, Kayak Camp is set along the Rangitikei River and towering Papa Cliffs in the Lower North Island of New Zealand, central to Tongariro National Park, Whanganui, Palmerston North. Join our 30 year old family owned and operated river adventure company for fun and safe rafting or kayaking trips for families with young children and great for beginning kayakers. Our friendly team of guides host you down the river and most trips include something to eat from the Awastone's licensed cafe. Quick 2hr trips start at NZ$75, depart 3 times daily during the summer months and are a perfect adventure if you have limited time travelling along SH1. If you have more time, ask about our "stay and play" package prices, with powered sites and cosy cabins as available choices and then tag on a soak in our river view hot tub. Or for a real kiwi adventure, try our overnight rafting journey. Equipment, meals and funny stories by the evening campfire included.
