SLEDGING PRIVATE GROUP

RIDE FAST-FLOWING RAPIDS ON A BIG BUOYANT BOARD IN A PRIVATE GROUP, IN QUEENSTOWN, NZ

Get up-close and personal with whitewater and mighty rapids on our custom-made sledges. Master the river; be in control.

Sledge grade 3 whitewater on special river purpose boards. Sturdy, easy to hold on to, very buoyant and highly-manoeuvrable, the sledge keeps you slightly more above the water than bodyboards.

This is an action-packed adventure for true water lovers. We start our trip in a secret calm eddy after an introduction to the basic sledging techniques. Here you must perform the minimum skills required to experience this trip.

As we head to the main flow, hold on tight and feel the power of the river as adrenaline kicks in. Ride fast-flowing rapids, blast through waves, spin on giant whirlpools and try wicked rock jumps.
