-- About this video --
This afternoon, we check in at the Queenstown Rafting office in Queenstown on Shotover St then get picked up to hit the Queenstown Rafting base along the Shotover River. There, we get geared up before being taken on the dreaded Skippers Road at the Skippers Canyon. Yes, this is the third time we are doing an activity down one of the world’s most dangerous roads!
Once we get to the launch point to go white water rafting on the Shotover River, we have a safety briefing then divide into rafts. White water rafting is a team sport so we all have to work together to make sure we get over the rapids in one piece. The Shotover River is also one of the top New Zealand white water rafting locations.
The first part of the Shotover River is gentle giving us time to practice paddle commands with our guide before hitting the grade 3 rapids. As we go along the stunning Shotover River, the rapids get bigger, scarier and more extreme!
Our finale ends with a 172m long tunnel leading to a waterfall! Then it’s out of the rafts and to the cafe where they have a sauna. That was such an awesome place to go white water rafting in New Zealand!
So what do you think of Queenstown white water rafting? Would you go rafting in Queenstown? LUK in the comments!

Shotover River Rafting In Autumn - Challenge Rafting - Queenstown - New Zealand.
Challenge Rafting takes a bunch of Queenstown locals whitewater rafting down the Shotover River. It's late March, Autumn in New Zealand, and the Shotover River flows are at an average low flow for this time of year, making the waters crystal clear blue and the canyon dramatically narrow. Watch from a rafters perspective as experienced international and Queenstown rafting guide, KC, takes a crew out for a great morning rafting in Queenstown.

Kawarau River Rafting - The Kawarau River is ideal for first time rafters or suited to those looking for a more relaxed rafting experience. There's plenty of white water action, but also time to sit back, relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Keep and eye on the other rafts though, as there's a good chance of a water fight. It's the Kawarau that starred as the river Anduin in Lord of the Rings. The grandeur of the canyons imparts a feeling of paddling through the heart of Middle Earth. Enjoy the unforgettable 400m long Dog Leg rapid- New Zealand's longest commercially rafted rapid.
Shotover River Rafting - You will then meet your river guide before beginning your white water rafting journey through the spectacular Skippers Canyon. Rafting from Deep Creek over peaceful waters at first, you'll head towards the exhilarating rapids of the lower canyon. The adrenalin pumps as you paddle Rock Garden, Sharks Fin, Toilet, Pinball and Jaws to name but a few. Raft the 170m Oxenbridge Tunnel before shooting Cascade Rapid to complete your adventure. Before returning to Queenstown, enjoy a sauna, hot shower and snack at Cavell's Rafting base. Video Credit: Queenstown Rafting
