Activity itinerary

Experience the thrill of whitewater and learn about Māori culture on the spectacular Rangitāiki River near Rotorua. Aboard a funky Riverbug single person inflatable and equipped with webbed gloves and short blade flippers as your paddles, you'll 'Feel the Flow' as you splash through fun, exciting Grade 2 rapids in a remote Gorge – learning about the local stories along way. The tour meets at Lake Aniwhenua with a mihi (Māori greeting) to introduce the guides and guests. After changing into wetsuits and safety equipment we launch our riverbugs into the pool below the impressive Aniwhenua Falls for paddling and safety drill, then it's off down river for the whitewater action! Ride the rapids, learn some tricks, relaxing between rapids to marvel at the rugged beauty and remoteness of the gorge. Drifting past waterfalls cascading over lush moss clad rock walls we connect with nature from the unique riverbug perspective. After an amazing 5 km stretch of river our driver meets us at the take out below the gorge for the shuttle back to Lake Aniwhenua. • Riverbug.NZ is a licensed Adventure Activity Operator with an excellent safety record. • We have top equipment and expert guides
