K2 - 'ROARING MEG'
Kawarau River • 1/2 Day, CLASS III+

6km of some of NZ's best high volume white water and definitely our most popular trip. The Roaring Meg has something for everybody with big fast flowing rapids, standing waves, boils, whirlpools and finishes with a peaceful flat section to get your breath back and take in the fantastic scenery of the historic Kawarau River.

Haven't had enough?
We head back to the top and have another run for a total of 10km leaving you a fully qualified Frog with a big grin. "Like a giant hydro slide through the mountains"
