Challenge Rafting

Challenge Rafting operates exciting half day whitewater rafting and raft combo trips on the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers.

Location

Queenstown

Experiences

Shotover River – graded 3-5 which means it’s more exciting to raft and harder to navigate. There is a higher risk of falling out the boat. The river has more rapids than the Kawarau – including a section where you raft 170m through the Oxenbridge Tunnel. You must be able to swim on this river. The road to the Shotover River is via Skippers Canyon – a narrow dirt track road that hugs the sheer cliff face of the canyon.

Kawarau River – graded 2-3 (however occasionally grade 2-4 at higher water levels), which means it’s easier to navigate with low risk of falling out of the raft. There are flat stretches of river between the rapids which means there’s a chance of some water fight action. There’s an opportunity to race your friends on the other rafts or jump out and swim in the flat water between the rapids. The Kawarau River is a much deeper and bigger river and flows through some spectacular Central Otago vineyards. The trip ends with a 400 metre long, grade 3 rapid.

"Excellent experience provided by the team in Queenstown. Super easy to book and well worth every penny, was flown from Queenstown to Wanaka then in to mountains for 9 runs including lunch up in the mountains which was top notch. Fresh powder, moving from one area to another and the guides were fantastic and the piloting like something out of a movie. will be doing this again next season with Harriski."

"This was my first time trying heli-skiing in Queenstown, and I’m so glad I chose HMH. My friends and I had an unforgettable experience — from the warm and professional service at the shop to our amazing guide Joel, who was both enthusiastic and highly responsible. Everything felt safe, well-organized, and fun. Without a doubt, I’ll choose HMH again when I return to Queenstown for skiing. Highly recommended!"
