Kayaks and rafts |
Otaki Gorge Road Te Horo Wellington 5560 New Zealand +64 6 364 3110 |
Not far from the city is the spectacular Otaki River rafting or kayaking spot. It is fun, it is safe, it is scenic and it is affordable. The rapids are grade two-three and fees include helmets, life jackets and wetsuits. All guides are qualified and experienced. A unique night rafting experience is also available on summer evenings. There is a small abseiling face for those with excess energy and for the rest a cafe resplendent with fresh local produce. Review © 2007, Wcities |
