Camp by the River

Wilderness River Journeys

For those that have undertaken a river holiday before there is no need to be convinced of the attributes that make up the experience.
Hugely popular in some parts of the world but rarely experienced in New Zealand, ironic because of the opportunities we have in this land of rivers, multiday river journeys are a holiday like no other.​ Using the river as our road and rafts as our transport, we access those hard to get places and carry the luxuries with ease, theres no need to skimp and guests are often amazed at the relative luxury of a rafters campsite.​
The Rangitikei River offers up a spectacular set of gorges, again, hard to access except by raft or kayak, and Awastone offers a number of trips to suit your available time and adventurous inclination.

Nestle in round the campfire, enjoy delicious campfire meals and get the kids into the outdoors for the weekend.
