About This Tour
Our highly trained and enthusiastic guides are experts in easing any nerves, especially if it's your first time. They'll keep you entertained and informed about the stunning scenery and wildlife you'll encounter as you drift along. During your adventure, you'll have the chance to meet our friends the Whio, highly endangered native blue ducks that inhabit the Tongariro River. They often live in pairs along the riverbanks—see if you can spot them! The waters of the Tongariro are pristine and crystal clear, thanks to natural springs. Keep an eye out for the large rainbow and brown trout that thrive in these waters.
