White water rafting & jet boating

White water rafting & jet boating in Nelson Tasman

Murchison sits on the Four River Plain - the meeting point for the Mangles, Matiri, Matakitaki and Buller Rivers. Together, they form the largest free-flowing catchment of water in New Zealand. 

Region for adventure

You'll find the best whitewater rafting, whitewater kayaking, and jetboating all year round in Murchison. Jetboating the Buller River at 85 km/hour is an exhilarating 40 minutes of pure thrill and high-speed action with sharp turns, V8-powered spins, and rapids.
