Water Activities

Methven has many water based tours and activities. Listed here are just a few…

Discovery Jet: For an adrenalin-pumping experience you’ll never forget, jump aboard our Discovery Jet and blast along the ever-changing Rakaia River. Discovery Jet is the only certified commercial operator through Maritime NZ on the Rakaia Gorge. You’ll need to hang on tight as our driver skilfully weaves the jet board through the intricate network of braided river channels, skimming along stony banks and through gushing opalescent blue waters rich with salmon and trout.

Rangitata Rafts: The magnificent Lord of the Rings scenery alone is worth visiting, but combine this with rafting some of New Zealand’s most exciting stretches of grade 1 – 5 white water for 2.5 hours, delicious meals and an amazing atmosphere and you have the recipe for experiencing one of New Zealand’s most unique rafting adventures – Rangitata Rafts. Only day trip from Christchurch or Ashburton. Or the perfect stop between CHCH and Queenstown.
