Thread: Ahaura river rafting. Anyone done it ?

I’ve Jetboated it a few times, last time was last year, we left from the town bridge and got up into the Haupiri.

It’s a pretty easy river, the first half is sort of a gorge (saw a few goats) and then opens up at Hamers flat to a fairly easy braided river.
The only tricky bit is Earthquake Rapid which is directly below Jim’s Hut. At low flows it would be for experienced jetboaters only (Boulders) was in a good flow the day we did it. I’ll try to find a photo. Couple of other rapids below there but not as bad.
