Our #1 adventure

This is our most popular trip, and for good reason. The Buller Gorge is packed with Grade 3 rapids, stunning canyon scenery and calm, deep pools for a swim between the action. It's the perfect half-day adventure for first-timers and thrill-seekers alike.

Just bring your swimwear. We supply all the safety gear and expert guides, plus a free photo slideshow of your trip.

When the river's running high, we may run another exciting section instead, such as the Granity Rapids or the Mangles River. No two days on the Buller are quite the same!
