Overview

We're the pioneers of Riversurfing operating since 1989. Also known as riverboarding or hydrospeed, similar to rafting but next level! We take you in the water, through Grade 3 rapids, on bodyboards. Why sit on a boat when you can get in amongst it and have some serious fun?

Itinerary:


Following a safety briefing the group will be fitted with wetsuits, booties, buoyancy aid, helmet, fins and a board. The guides will then demonstrate board positions and techniques before group enters training eddy to practice skills and manoeuvres. Once everyone is comfortable on the boards the group follows the lead guide through some of New Zealand's best High Volume whitewater. Guides will show lines of travel, assist with technique and demonstrate advanced skill such as surfing, barrel rolls and underwater flying.

      Fantastic, loved it. Worth the money, guides were great and heaps of fun, but still felt incredible safe.

      While I do not recommend inquiring or signing up so late, due to extenuating circumstances, I made an email inquiry after hours on Saturday evening regarding sledging availability the following day. I received prompt and thorough responses and follow-up responses from Neil to my initial inquiry and subsequent question. While the level I was seeking was full, I was very impressed with the level of customer service. I am confident that this attentiveness to customers is consistent in their entire operation.

      We had such a wonderful time with Serious Fun Riverboarding. The guides/ team were so friendly and fun and looked after us incredibly well. It was such an exciting new experience for me and one for the memory bank! Thank you Pav, Max and the while team for a great day on the river!!!!! Would absolutely recommend 👌

      Fantastic experience from start to finish. The guides were excellent and the river surfing was such good fun!

      We did this riverboarding as a spur of the moment activity after running out of things to do in Queenstown. We were fitted out carefully with wetsuits and all the other bits and bobs. We had a safety briefing before heading down to the river to do some basic training. We (me 50, and two kids 11 & 13) had a great hour or so after the training bobbing down the river through the rapids. I was expecting it to be colder but we all found the supplied wetsuits to work perfectly for us and no-one complained about the cold. Initially my 11yo struggled a bit but once he figured out how to use the fins/flippers properly, things improved a lot. Although this activity does appear daunting at first, once we got going I found it to be quite easy and fun.

      I took 6 teenagers on this and we all had a ball. Some hairy moments which were great fun. Guides were very knowledgeable- the briefing is a little long and a little repetitive however, once you got started was worth while. Do morning surfing as you get 2 goes at it and you may be too tired later in the day for second go.

      Awesome experience- Pav, Charlie and Max are legends. Extremely experienced, knowledgeable and fun- we felt completely at ease with them. Highly recommended to anyone who is comfortable in the water.

      Booked this with my son, I’m sixty so was a little worried but it is an awesome adventure, now my absolute favourite. Forget bungee, this is so much more fun. Was initially a bit nervous but the team gave us complete confidence that we were going to have FUN !! Really well organised. The first thing I book on my next trip to Queenstown - thanks guys.

      Let's just say that this is an activity which delivers big time. Why? Its beyond the usual tame experience of gliding and bungee jumping (no disrespect intended). It delivers a little more raw nature direct to you in complete safety by a team of professional and friendly staff.
