1. Inland Adventures - Day Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 66 reviews
At Inland Adventures we offer stunning full day and multi day wilderness raft tours as well as a fun half day family trip. The rivers we raft range from friendly grade 2 to exhilerating grade 4 so there is something for everyone. Our day trip on the Upper Grey River/Māwheranui is our most popular tour. The grade 3 rapids keep you entertained all day and the towering mountains, steep walled gorges and lush green native forest mean this trip is jam packed with amazing scenery. If you are really wanting to spend some time in the New Zealand wilderness then a multi day trip is for you. Choose between a longer stretch of the Upper Grey River or the Waiau River near Hanmer Springs. We supply the camping gear as well as delicious meals and snacks. Evenings spent beside the river with a cozy fire are pretty special.

Seriously why are you even still reading. They have a mine tunnel, even with 300 signs pointing out everywhere you could trip or bang yourself this is still an epic thing to have in a tourist office. Drop your cheese roll and go there now.

This is a truly delightful museum and the curator is knowledgeable and obliging. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon hoping to see the gold battery in action. We were told that the person who normally runs it was unable to be there that day however the curator was happy to turn it on for us. This is well worth seeing, as is the museum itself. Do not expect sophisticated displays, however it contains many items and information about the local area and its people.It certainly is more tactile than most museums that you visit. Do take the time to visit this wonderful museum just outisde of Reefton.
