Hi, I am coming to Queenstown at the start of August and was going to book when I got there. Should I book earlier? Will activities like these book out?
Comments
It's a good idea to book activities in advance before you arrive in Queenstown as the rafting is pretty popular and sometimes large groups can book out the rafting several days in a row. I'd suggest picking a date that you want to go rafting and booking it via our site and then if you decide closer to the date or once you are in Queenstown that you want to change this date then we can do this for you free of charge. I also recommend booking for the afternoon trip rather than the morning as its more enjoyable rafting once the afternoon sun is at its warmest. You can also combine other activities with the rafting such as the Shotover Jet, bungy jumping, skydiving etc that will save you some time and money.

Do you need to wear anything special when rafting in winter?
Comments
Hi Melissa, no you don't have to take anything special with you for the winter. You will be provided with waterproof booties, a full length 5mm wetsuit as well as a 5mm jacket, spray-jacket and life jacket. These should keep you adequately warm and the paddling action certainly keeps the blood flowing too. We have additional neoprene socks and gloves for the winter rafting. You will need a swimsuit and a towel. There are showers and a sauna after the trip
