About 2 hours drive from Christchurch you will find the Rangitata River. It is located near Geraldine, a beautiful area of South Island with a breathtaking landscape and natural features of the view. The river is also ideal for white water rafting with a number of exhilarating rapids to go with the flat sections are wonderful opportunity to practice their skills or to obtain a well-earned breather.
Most of the entrepreneurs who take rafting trips Rangitata River take you to and from Christchurch to the shuttle. Like most white water rafting trips, it can be strong at times and without needing to be a professional athlete, it helps if you are fit enough. More you include, the more you will get from this experience, so if flying down the gushing rapids is a kind of case, then you will have a great time.
The day starts off with a shuttle picking you up from the Christchurch early in the morning. From here it is a simple but pleasant drive along the rural route to the Rangitata River. Once reaching the river, you go further up to present, if you start to day activities.
The first thing that needs to organize your equipment. It consists of the things for example, wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, etc. They may be most comfortable or fashionable, but the water may be cold, so you certainly appreciate it. After once kitted out, you will be divided into groups, which comprise those of your raft. It is great if you have a bunch of friends to go with, but if not, then you probably meet some new, end-date anyway.
Driving further up the river you'll arrive at where you start your journey. It's here you'll get your first taste of rafting. Each raft has one instructor, who sits back of the raft, to help you avoid the rocks, cracks jokes, providing security and generally make sure that you have a great time. Your instructor will brief you all on the grounds, which include things such as paddling, lunging to one side and pulling people back into the raft if they fall out (which can and probably will). You many opportunities deal with all these things as you can easily make your way down a long quiet patch of river.
After all of your raft is confident with skills, it is time to reach his first rapids! This is definitely the most exciting part and what makes people come back more. It is a real surge of adrenaline as your raft is thrown through the rapids, you can feel the water forces you to shout up and down and side to another with every dip and direction modification. Trainers do a great job and kept you on the right track, although you have to help them when to them it is necessary for some fast paddling is required to get through some of the tough spots.
As you head down the river, You'll get to enjoy the many exciting rapids, which really get the heart going. Sometimes they can be so powerful that people fall out or rafts flip over, it is not unusual, and instructors will alert you if you need to pick up someone who went overboard. The risk factor is part of excitement but at no point it declined to be dangerous. Strength (or sorting), and the river changes throughout the year, but there will always be you have a very difficult part of white water.
A major part of the journey lasts a couple of hours before the river flattens, and you have the possibility that a bit of fun with other rafts, ie, spray them with oars or throwing their instructor in the water. You can also get the possibility to jump to very high cliffs or float down the river sections of the raft (this is where you'll be glad you're wetsuit).
After loading the rafts trailers, you head back to the lodge for a well earned barbeque. By this stage you should be exhausted, barely managing to stay in raft all day can be hard work! After some laughs and a few last words have time to go home. You get to buy photos of your craft, which it is pleasant to touch, albeit a little expensive.
Going down the rapids is a really good experience and one that you will be raving to your friends for weeks. White water rafting comes highly recommended for anyone visiting Christchurch and looking for something fun to try.
