This was great fun. We travelled on a precarious dirt road up to the head of the Shotover River, classed as a grade 3-4+. Our guide was really nice and made Em feel safe by making her sit next to him. We practised our instructions on the first part of the journey when it was relatively calm and then hit the rapids!
After the initial surprise of the boat filling up with water and luckily self bailing, we all relaxed more and enjoyed the ride
I would definately say the safety procedures are much more tight than when I did it last 20+years ago in the States.
We would all happily do it again.
