Family Adventures are specialists in soft adventures trips rafting and kayaking the upper reaches of the famous Shotover River, Queenstown.  Our trip is suitable for everyone from 3 years old as we raft on gentle grade 1 & 2 rapids only.  Water confidence is not necessary.

We offer a unique sightseeing trip by bus into the famous Skippers Canyon - quite possibly the most spectacular drive in New Zealand!  The views are astounding and the area is jam packed with history.  We get even further into the backcountry as we float by raft or inflatable kayak on gentle grade 1 & 2 rapids on the Shotover River.  You may recognise our put-in-point as "The Ford of Bruinen" from the Lord of The Rings movie!

We cater for everyone especially people looking for a scenic and non-threatening unique river experience.  We can also offer a range of activities such as a downhill guided mountain bike, a longer full day trip and a variety of team building options for corporate groups.  We are the only raft company in Queenstown licensed to carry children under 13 years.
