Frequently Asked Questions about Shotover River Whitewater Rafting Adventure
What do I need to bring?
Bring a swimsuit and towel. Anything valuable should be left behind at your accommodation.
Do I have to be able to swim?
You must be water confident and able to swim on this trip. By ‘water confident’ we mean you won’t be daunted by the river movement. Imagine being in the sea with medium waves round you where you can’t stand up and are tossed around a bit. If you feel comfortable with this then you should be ok whitewater rafting on the Shotover River.
Can I wear glasses/sunglasses etc.
Yes you can, however we do recommend a sports strap or tie for glasses. Once again remember we can’t guarantee the safety of your glasses so if you can do without them then do so.
Is there a toilet and somewhere to buy food?
Yes, there is a café and bar at the rafting base. There are also toilets at the rafting base and also at Deep Creek where the raft trip starts on the Shotover River.
