Booking booth located at the Fox and Franz Heli services building on the main road in Franz Josef Glacier, as well as the isite in Hokitika

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.

Come and explore our hidden gem on The West Coast. In one of the largest unmodified caves in New Zealand, we have two very special tours to offer. The cave adventure itself includes indulging yourself in an abundance of underworld treasures such as stalactites and stalagmites and learning the history of the cave until the most spectacular part of the adventure. The glow worms. When choosing your tour you can choose the Underworld Rafting option, here you float under the Worlds best display of glow worms and float down the river, or you can go on the scenic tour and visit the largest opening on the cave and discover the beautiful galaxies of glow worms on a drier part of the cave. But if your not looking to go caving... Come and join us on our Nile River Rain Forest Train ride that takes you in and out of the Karst Valley with an interpretive description of the history of Charleston
