6 Reasons Why Auckland White Water Rafting Is A Great Group Activity

Whether you are a group of friends looking for something exciting to do, a family looking for a bonding activity over the holidays, or a corporate group wanting to partake in a team-building session near Auckland, white water rafting has a lot to offer and is definitely worth looking into.

In this article, we’ll look at some of the reasons and factors that make white water rafting such a great group activity!

Memories To Last A Lifetime

White water rafting creates epic memories to last a lifetime, and the photos taken by the in-house professional photographers are worth posting onto your social media and the fridge!

Team Building And Bonding

Rafting requires the group to really work together as a team and listen to what the facilitator has to say. This activity is sure to be great for team building, as well as the bonding of the group.

Adrenalin

This activity is ideal for the adrenalin junkies, as rafting over rapids can be quite exhilarating at times. This adrenalin is what will be responsible for the memories remaining vivid and for the overall enjoyment of the trip.

Something To Look Forward To

White water rafting is not an everyday activity. It is something different that not many have tried before. Once it has been booked, it will be an experience that the entire group will be looking forward to!

Works For Groups Of Various Sizes

No matter the size of your group, rafting is an activity that can cater to various group sizes. Although if your group is quite large, you will most likely have to split up into different rafts. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to see, wave & splash your mates in the other rafts for most of the session.

Get Out Into Nature

White water rafting puts you in direct contact with nature. Enjoy the sounds and smells of the river and rapids, as well as the natural area surrounding it. Who knows, you may even spot some wildlife during your rafting session! This is really a fantastic way to appreciate what nature has to offer.

MY FAVOURITE EXPERIENCE IN NZ SO FAR. TOOK THE 9AM TOUR TODAY AND ALREADY CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK. THE RAFTING WAS SO MUCH FUN AND THE TOUR GUIDES ARE HILARIOUS. NEVER FELT IN ANY DANGER JUST ENJOYED THE RIDE! WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY. I WENT AS A SOLO TRAVELLER AND IT WAS STILL REALLY ENJOYABLE.
Brilliant! We had heaps of fun. Guides were friendly and made us feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommended to all!

Fantastic outfit. The crew were cheeky as but super professional. We felt safe throughout the entire experience. 11/10 and a big shoutout to Rob for being a GC.
White water rafting at its best. Wonderful guides. A must do when in or around Rotorua. Felt safe, but had the best time.
Great experience! Made me feel safe when I was scared!! You the m san Owen! So glad I did it. It is beautiful!
The guide, Sam, went out of his way to make the trip as fun and exciting as possible. The whole team were friendly and inclusive.
Cole was a really good guide, talked us through everything and had a good laugh. The water was nice, not cold at all. They provide wetsuits, footwear, helmets, life jackets and polo fleeces. Worth the money and would do it again. Recommend going in a group so that you can split the cost of photos.
Unbelievable experience rafting the 7m waterfall this morning! Even more fun when the boat flipped!! Highly recommend! Great fun and great instructors!! Shout out to Pete From the Irish girls.
