Our Open Grade 5 Trip

To raft the grade 5 section, we need a certain number of guests to join us. Ideally this number is at least 8. However, what we like to do is open up a trip where guests do not need to worry about putting a larger party together themselves. We try to coordinate, or point smaller groups to these specific days and build a day from there. We call these trips Open Trips. This allows you to book onto a trip as a single person, with a partner or as a small group. We'll breakdown the info below:

Q: What is an Open Grade 5 Trip?

It is a trip that will be running on a certain date to help people experience the grade 5 section without the worry of organizing a group of 8 paddlers themselves.

Q: How much does it cost?

It is $175, the regular price for a grade 5 trip.

Q: Where can I get more information about the grade 5 trip?

You can visit our trips page for more information and photos. You can also download a pdf summary of the grade 5 run for your own records.

Q: Is it a guaranteed trip?

Unfortunately we can't guarantee a trip for two reasons: weather and paddle power. We'll go into detail below.

Weather: With rafting we are at the mercy of the natural elements. If the river is too high, or the weather too poor we do cancel trips.

Number of people: We do run these trips with less than ideal numbers... if we have a few groups we'll usually take you down. Unfortunately though, if there aren't enough paddlers, it can be too physically demanding and we might make another trip suggestion.

Q: How do I book?

For an Open trip in the near future please check the calendar below. As people with groups of 8 or more book into the grade 5, we will add that trip to the calander until it is full.
