- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travellers are saying
- Bazmunro2 contributionsThe rafting was absolutely fantastic. The scenery is not of this world, such a beautiful part of NZ! The guides were totally top notch, professional, passionate, funny and super informative. Josh kept us laughing, breathing and safe if not dry and upright 🤣
Highly recommended 10/10!Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jaime HEdinburgh, UK8 contributionsI visited here as part of a Contiki tour, and had Jack as my guide on the river. He was so easy to get along with and was a lot of fun, and made the whole journey incredibly safe but amazing. We had lots of great experiences on this rafting experience, couldn’t recommend it enough!Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aadryk B1 contributioni went with River Rat’s river rafting and it was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking scenery, crystal-clear waters and thrilling rapids made every moment exhilarating. Our expert guide Cam ensured our safety while expertly navigating the raft through turbulent waters.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
