The River

This is New Zealand’s greatest river which offers scenery and tranquility that has to be seen to be believed.

 

Cruising through this rich farmland and native bush, there is so much to discover and experience. The  Riverland has an abundance of bird and fish life from fresh to salt water species. Swans, geese, and ducks to mention a few.


Your cruise on this peaceful river also enables you to learn about the secrets of the past at the historic battle sites, museums and the remains of paddleboats on the river's bank. For those wishing to take in surrounding attractions, special day tours can be arranged.


You may wish to experience Maori Culture, take a quad bike safari, go mountain biking, kayaking or perhaps a V8 super car ride, explore the wineries or play a round of golf.
 

The river is also spiritually significant to the “Tainui people” as well as being a water supply for Auckland city and the lifeblood of dairy farms that line the banks.
