Sledging is the is the most physically difficult of all the trips we offer. Participants must be strong swimmers and physically fit.
Trips only operate during the warmer part of the season from November to April.
Seeing the river at eye level while lying on a board kicking with flippers is not for the faint hearted and is a great personal challenge.
The trip starts with a 10 minute walk carrying your sledge in to below the Kaituna waterfall before taking on the river.
As guide to the level of fitness required, participants should be capable of sprinting 100 metres and recovering reasonably quickly.
