About

Mohaka Rafting provides full day and multi-day trips on grade 2, 3, and Grade 5 white water. The grade 2 trip is for young families or those wishing to sit back and float down the river and admire the scenery.

Our full day grade 3 adventure is the most popular rafting trip. This is the fun run with: cliff jumps, gorges, and canyons, visit a gold mine and swim rapids during 4 to 5 hours on the water. No experience needed.

On the grade 4/5 full day trip expect truly incredible scenery; house size boulders, massive cliffs, and geological oddities, as you get propelled through narrow shoots. This is a serious trip.
Expeditions give an amazing experience through the remote Kaweka Forest Park. Helicopter in, camp at thermal pools and raft out.
