Buller Family Rafting
“The ideal adventure for your family holiday”
This is a family rafting adventure for all ages.  This stunning stretch of river meanders through amazing bush and mountain scenery.  Fully participatory, everyone who wants to has the chance to paddle.  We even have custom made paddles for the child rafters amongst you.  You will have a taste of riding the rapids, then drifting through crystal clear pools to take in the breath-taking backdrop of your very own family adventure.  There is also the opportunity for the kids to have a swim and jump from the rocks, in a placid section of the river.  Catering for children 5 up, this gives even the youngest travellers an opportunity to experience river travel in a safe and enjoyable manner.
 
  • One of the few adventure activities for all the family
  • Fun wave trains to raft for the kids
