Karanasan sa Paglalayag sa Maputing Tubig ng Ilog Shotover mula sa Queenstown

The tour began with a scenic drive into Skippers Canyon, where our witty guide kept us entertained with fascinating stories of the area’s history and pointed out unique rock formations along the way. Because the water level was high that day, we had the thrill of tackling Grade V rapids! Safety was clearly a top priority—support kayaks accompanied us, and my raft was staffed with three instructors. When we reached the most intense sections of the canyon, the instructors sprang into action, positioning themselves on nearby rocks with full safety gear at the ready. I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism and precautions taken. Interestingly, two fellow participants mentioned they had joined the same tour the week before, and the lower water level gave them a completely different experience. Hearing that made me wish I had more time to enjoy a few extra runs myself—it’s the kind of adventure you’d want to relive again and again.

Exhilarating Experience on the Shotover River! Rafting on the Shotover River was absolutely exhilarating! The scenery through the canyon is stunning, and the rapids are thrilling from start to finish. It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. The guides were outstanding – knowledgeable, fun, and made sure everyone felt safe and confident. The highlight was definitely the ride through the narrow, rocky passages – heart-pounding and unforgettable. A must-do adventure in Queenstown!

Thrilling ride but cold! The guide was clear in his instructions and he was safety conscious. He had to work hard as we needed to improve our paddling. Got the hang of it eventually. Recommend it for those who want to experience adrenaline!

The guides did a great job and the experience was fun. Do note that this is a grade 5 river though, participants will require sufficient water confidence.

Sobrang nakakatuwang karanasan at lahat ng mga gabay ay eksperto sa aktibidad. Ang tanawin mula sa ibaba ay hindi kapani-paniwala at ang mga rapids ay sobrang saya na daanan. Ang pagmamaneho sa kalsada ng Skippers Canyon ay nakakatakot ngunit isang karanasan. Nag-aalok ito ng dramatikong tanawin at bumabagsak nang patayo sa gilid ng bangin. Kasama ang mga litrato sa package.

Malinaw ang pagtuturo sa kaligtasan. Maalaga at matulungin ang mga instruktor. Madaling makuha ang mga kagamitan na akma sa iyong laki. Maganda ang mga larawan. Pinakamagandang karanasan kailanman.

Great time! Matt was fantastic .... loads of fun

siguraduhing huwag uminom dahil hindi ka makakapunta sa banyo nang matagal, hindi naman mahirap, maraming matatanda ang sumasali

Ang mga tripulante ay napaka-propesyonal at mahalaga iyon dahil ito ay isang aktibidad na may mataas na panganib. Malamig ang tubig kahit sa tag-init! Kay gandang karanasan!

Sobrang saya na hindi kapani-paniwala! Bagaman sobrang lamig ng tubig, sulit na sulit pa rin. Nagkataong mataas ang tubig ngayon kaya mas nakadagdag sa kapanapanabik. Sayang at kakaunti lang ang mga litrato at walang mga video, pero sobrang saya talaga.
