So what is involved with a River Wild, Mountain High Adventure?
We have mixed in some adventure, with good food and comfy accommodation.
Itinerary
- Arrive anytime after 3 pm on the first day, check in to your accommodation in one of our deluxe ensuite guest rooms, or a shared bunk room.
- Enjoy a delicious, home cooked, dinner in the lodge.
- On the second day, get up late, have breakfast in the main Lodge, we don’t want to get too carried away with the adventure stuff yet!
- That afternoon, explore the beautiful hill country of the Northern Rangitikei by horse back (half day trek or equivalent).
- Enjoy another dinner in the Lodge. All our food is made with free range, organic meat and fresh vegetables from our on-site gardens.
- On the third day, choose from either a half day Grade 5 rafting trip, or a relaxing float down the Scenic section of the Rangitikei River.
After the rafting trip, you can either head home refreshed and recharged, or stay an extra night (not included) and truly soak up the special ambiance of River Valley.

Between 1st October and 5th November 2020 we are restricted on where we can ride, due to a later lambing season than normal on the farm we ride through. Therefore we will also be including some time at our horse arena, where we have set up some fun obstacles and challenges for the horses. This will still be a half day of riding but will include natural horsemanship, a ride from the stables to the arena (and back) and also some challenges in the arena.
