Woohoo!
I went white water rafting for the first time. It was so much fun.
I went with Tongariro River Rafting
http://www.trr.co.nz/
It was a 3 hour trip through incredibly scenic canyons and fun rapids.

It was a chill ride but that didn't stop me from almost falling out of the boat a few times.

Partway through the trip we stopped to jump off the cliffs into the river. The cliff was deceptively high. It was a fun jump. Probably the highest I've done in 10 years at least.... I'm getting old.

The water was pretty cold. But I was all geared up in a wetsuit and splash jacket. So I was nice and toasty for the day.
I had an awesome time. I'm excited to have more river adventures!
Looks so fun! How'd you get photos? Did you get a waterproof camera?
ReplyDeleteHi L! Yeah I brought along my waterproof camera. It's the same one I took on our trip through the subway. It takes awful photos though. I don't know if you remember, but the Subway water was too cold and it started malfunctioning.... It hasn't been the same since. Still, it's really nice to have a worry free camera to bring in the water and some of the pics turn out ok. Miss you! When are you visiting me? Lol

Thanks gcex! Wish I was going to be back in time to take advantage of your 2013 deals. I guess I'll have to shoot for 2014, your trips look amazing.
