Rafting on the Landsborough River is a perfect choice for getting away from technology and people.
Richie says: “I’ve flown through this area a few times and have seen how spectacular it is. You have to fly in or hike over the Brodrick Pass to start the trip, then you can spend a few days rafting and camping your way out. I’d love to do this.”
Stuff Travel says: If there is one must-do for New Zealanders, especially for those who love wilderness and nature, it would have to be rafting the Landsborough River on the West Coast in summer. A guided adventure, it begins with a helicopter ride into the first comfortable camp before you begin a three-day adventure through untouched bush, rugged valleys and fun rapids.
