FAQ

What do I need to bring with me?

Please bring your swimwear, towel and your sense of Adventure! We provide everything else you need to get down the river safely! Including: Wetsuits/Booties/PFDs and all other river equipment.

Do I need to be a great swimmer?

You MUST be comfortable in moving water. You will be kicking/swimming in the water against currents for approx. 45mins – 1hr. We will ask you this when you check-in and inform your guide so they can discuss precautions with you as sledging can be physically demanding.

Do I need previous experience?

No not at all. Kaitiaki Adventures will give all the training required and will assist you throughout the trip.

How warm is the water?

  • In the summer months from October to March expect 17 to 22 degrees.
  • In the winter months from April to September expect 11 to 16 degrees.

Can I participate in whitewater sledging if I need to cover my skin for cultural or religious reasons?

Yes, we welcome guests who need to cover their skin for cultural or religious reasons. For safety reasons during whitewater activities, we provide full long John-style wetsuits with long-sleeved wetsuit jackets, booties and helmets. You are welcome to wear a swimming burka or other clothing that covers the neck area underneath the helmet. However, for safety purposes, we cannot allow any coverings over the nose or mouth while participating in these activities.

If you require additional privacy, we can also provide a separate changing area. Please feel free to contact us with any specific concerns, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Is there a weight restriction?

Over 125kgs? No stress! Contact us before you book so we can ensure all safety gear fits you and works as per manufacturer design.
