Below River Valley Lodge, the Rangitikei River flows through beautiful papa, (mud rock), canyons. The canyon walls reach up to 200 metres above the level of the water. Between each crystal clear pool, sparkling rapids, up to grade 2, (easy), tumble down through small greywacke boulders. Bordering the river is native forest, and small flood plains.Trees include Maire and Kahikatea, with a rich understory of tree ferns and broadleaves. This natural corridor has a variety of bird life, from the rare New Zealand Falcon, to Tui and Bell Bird, Fantails, Spur winged Plovers, and of course Paradise Ducks. Our Scenic rafting trip is especially suitable for families, and those people wanting a more relaxed interaction with the river, than offered on our Grade 5 trips. The trip takes about 3 1/2 hours on river, with a picnic lunch stopover on the river bank. If weather conditions and time permit, then we can take a hike up a side canyon to view the Ohutu Falls, the most reliable of the major waterfalls that feed the river. This canyon is one of the most beautiful sections of the Rangitikei River. Allow a full day. Trip meets at, and departs from River Valley Lodge. Scenic/Eco River trips are a seasonal adevnture. The season starts in October and finishes in April. Depending on your requirements, we can also put several inflatable kayaks on the trip for a bit more of a challenge, or alternatively run the day as Gentle Float trip. Make sure you talk to your guide about your preference.
