Sledging - Rotorua

Sledging aka riverboarding. Navigating down river rapids on a specially-designed body board with flippers on your feet.

You are equipped with a padded wetsuit, booties, life jacket, helmet and fins for providing propulsion and steering. Your chest rests on the board and your arms are tucked neatly inside for good grip and control.

You don't need any experience! Your instructor will teach you all the skills required to become a competent white-water sledger. They will be with you all the way down the river to help guide, encourage and motivate you.

Two options are available. The Kaituna River Sledging experience is suitable for nearly everyone. Amidst the beautiful scenery there are a number of "play holes" and awesome rapids to negotiate your way through.

N.B. In order to go sledging tour members should be competent swimmers.
