River Rat

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.

There were lots of mini waterfalls in the canyon 

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 River

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!
