Ultimate Descents Aotearoa

Ultimate Descents Aotearoa was a highlight of our trip. The staff was great, they insured that we had an excellent time. If you like fun then this is the activity you want to do.

My kids had a great time rafting. Although the water was low when we went, the rapids were still fast and exciting as they revealed more rocks. This means that you can go at any time of the year. The staff were also friendly and fun to be around. My teenage boys started off as beginners with no prior experience in rafting but the Grade 3 Buller River rapids were exciting and with guidance from Nathan and his team they had a really good time. Jumping off a high rock into the water and rafting across the bigger rapids were the highlights of the trip.Would definitely reccommend commend this and I am looking forward to letting my kids try this again in the future.

I would highly recommend Ultimate Descent for white water rafting. Sonny provided an exceptional experience down the rapids and Jono captured these moments with awesome photos!

Great team, great experience! Good mix between calm floating and chatting and current rides. Highlight: Jumping from the rocks just behind a fall into the river and floating with the current - priceless! January 2020.

These guys are great. Very professional and nice. We did the buller gorge rafting (160$) and it took about three and a half hours, but it could have been shorter, because we took our time. The river was quiet most of the time with only a few rough patches, but this was ok and to be expected. They give you exact and reliable information.

We made a detour to Ultimate Descent for the kids (age 11 and 13) to enjoy the rafting. Went through a few grade 3 rapids.The guide Shania was very clear with her instructions. We also had the benefit of watching Tim assessing a guide for NZ rafting certification.Well worth the detour. The teenagers thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted more !Booking was easy. Checked in smooth. Our camper was plug at riverside Holiday park while on the trip.Highly recommended !

I always wanted to do the rafting in Murchison and we had a 5* experience!! It was so much fun, the guides were super friendly and cool , and we got free photos at the end! The gorge was great and interesting to look at, the rapids exciting and it was a bit of an adrenaline high at the end, jumping off a rock and floating down the gorge! Topped off with a scone and cuppa at the end. They ve thought of everything! Highly recommend for anyone who looks for an adventures trip in NZ !

Happy Chinese New Year! We had a fun time rafting and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Nathan and the rest of the staff for providing a very enjoyable experience. Although the water was low, the rapids was still fast and exciting because the drops got steeper and the rocks rose up.
