Experience the Rangitikei, Ngaruroro & Whanganui rivers

One of the biggest draws to River Valley is our passion for exploring our local rivers. Our business is built on a rich history that stretches multiple generations of people that have spent their lives navigating through these rivers, discovering every nook and cranny, and appreciating these magnificent bodies of water right on our doorstep.

Our culmination of experience, which dates all the way back to 1982, means we are able to bring these incredible rafting experiences to you. Our range of packages cater to whatever experience suits you. Whether you’re after some family fun, consider yourself an adrenaline junkie, or picture yourself on a boat (dory) on the river, we have a range of river activities that are bound to provide the adventure you’re after. It doesn’t matter if you’re after an action-packed half -day on the river or a full 5 day excursion, the team at River Valley will keep you safe, entertained, and itching for more. So if you’re ready to put paddle to water, find out more about our range of river rafting activities, and be part of the 4000+ people that find their way down the Rangitikei every year!

Adventures on Horseback

If staying dry is more your style, you can still experience the wonder the Rangitikei has to offer from horseback. Specializing in “Rides for Riders” River Valley Stables have a horseback package that is sure to be a highlight of your trip. We believe in using natural horsemanship techniques that encourage a bond and communication between horse and rider.
