3 Day Buller Rafting & Glamping
rafting & glamping adventure
adventure meets comfort
Three days on the Kawatiri / Buller, from the open river valley to the dramatic Buller Gorge. Fun whitewater by day, beautiful camps by night.
Our campsites are vehicle-accessible, so we bring the extra comforts: gear transport, proper food (no freeze-dried meals here!) and room for non-rafting friends and family to join at camp. Real adventure without roughing it.
your three days
Start on the Buller near Lake Rotoiti (the start point depends on water levels). Warm up on fun Grade 2 to 3 rapids before taking on the legendary Granity Rapid, then set up a comfortable riverside camp.
Drift past native bush and farmland on fun Grade 2 rapids, pass Murchison and finish with O'Sullivan's Rapid. Camp overlooks the peaceful Māruia confluence, with yarns around the fire and a camp-cooked meal.
Visit Ariki Falls, ride through the Pink Granite Canyon, then Jet Boat and Whale Creek rapids. The grand finale is the Earthquake Section, created by the 1968 Īnangahua earthquake. Finish at the Iron Bridge, then hot showers and a photo slideshow in Murchison.
