Mohaka Rafting

Mohaka Rafting

Mohaka Rafting gives guests an amazing North island rafting experience. From scenic half-day, grade II raft and duckie (inflatable kayak) trips down the stunning Mohaka river valley to multi-day expedition trips which bring people into the heart of untouched New Zealand backcountry.


Hawke's Bay's Mohaka River, is truly a New Zealand gem. Offering stunning scenery along it's class 2-5 rapids, it is an adventure not to be missed. Tourists are so fortunate to have such a beautiful river on the North Island! Visitors who have had experience rafting on other rivers around both islands of New Zealand and even around the world will all agree that the Mohaka River is an absolutely special place. 


If you're looking for a more relaxed approach to some places that you wouldn't be able to see by foot or car, the Mohaka's various grade 2 stretches are probably for you. These grade 2, single day trips are great for people who are perhaps just passing though, or have a few hours they’d like to spend doing something a bit different. The type of rapids you find on a grade 2 typically have wave sizes less than one metre and the moves required are simple. Guests may have to paddle a bit to help avoid rocks, but generally the paddling strain is low. This type of trip is usually about a 4 hour experience, usually spending about 2-2.5 hours on the water.


For those who want to feel a little a little more on the edge, or just spend a whole day on the rapids, the grade 3 section of the Mohaka is an excellent choice. It is also fine for people who have never been rafting before and who might be feeling a bit nervous as the river starts out relatively calm and gradually builds in intensity. There is an abandoned gold mine in the side of the river you can check out and see the Cave Wetas, cliff jumping opportunities as well as varied and spectacular New Zealand scenery.
