Sledging

What a ride! Glad we chose this activity, certainly pushed us all past our comfort zones, and happy for that. We were expecting it to be freezing, but it was quite pleasant.

Great fun for me and my girls, 20 & 15. Safety briefing was comprehensive and detailed all the risks, gave us a healthy respect for the river. This was an awesome adrenaline rush activity, professionally operated….I highly recommend.

Great fun. Max and Pav were excellent instructors. A fantastic, very unique experience that created unforgettable memories.

Where to begin! Pav and Max were amazing tour guides. Very calm and supportive when dealing with our stress and constant laughing. The cliff jump was an added bonus (do not land on your face - it hurts). We had so much fun and felt very safe knowing our guides were so experienced! Shoutout again to Max and Pav, LEGENDS!!

Great fun and a brilliant way to experience the river. The team were very professional ensuring everyone had fun but were well drilled on all the necessary ways to navigate the river safely. A decent workout too.👍

Fantastic staff very helpful and made sure i stayed out of trouble, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about it, well worth it for the adventure and history

An amazing experience, exhilarating and a little bit scary. But with the 2 guides and 3rd safety person I knew I was well looked after. Neil and his crew are friendly, fun and made the whole experience enjoyable. This is a must-do when in Queenstown!

Well I was quite apprehensive about taking off down the river but the guides abilities and the thorough briefing quickly made me feel at ease. A group of 3 ladies did the sledging and the boys did the surfing. The boys absolutely loved the river surfing and would do it again in a heart beat. The sledging is a little more stable with thicker boards but the same rapids. I did go a little off track now and again, I also came off but managed to hold on by one handle and pop back on. The guides were always quick to assist and get us back on track😊 no matter what. The water was beautiful and the scenic relaxing float part was also a highlight for me. This is a unique experience and a great way to experience Queenstown’s canyons 😋.

Spent 4 days in Queenstown on adreline holiday with kids, 17,15 and 12. Did everything but this was the undisputed number one activity. Thank you to the team, had a great day. Would recommend to anyone going to Queenstown. Must do!

Firstly, the company is really well organised and all the arrangements were smooth and professional. The office rang us on the morning to confirm we knew where to meet the guides (we self drove, there is a mini-bus from Queenstown if you prefer). You meet by the river and although the "camp" is a little rustic, they have thought of everything and you can change in privacy there if you need to. Now, about the actual river surfing. We went with 3 kids aged 10-16. You get a foam body board and basically float down the river (an incredible location) through rapids and more calmer waters. Sounds easy right? Now it is important to note none of us felt in any danger, but being moderately fit is the difference between surviving and thriving (!) Dallas was the lead guide and Pav swept the back of the pack (there were 9 customers in the group), and they were amazing at pulling you back into the right place or edging you on. Definitely felt safe in their hands and they bring a great attitude to the whole adventure and make you feel at home. The 10 year old had his own guide (big thanks to Sam, another legend!) and he probably had the biggest smile, noting at the end how he saw a hawk and enjoyed the scenery. I must confess I was just trying to keep up. You have the opportunity to do the run twice - a couple of our group did it and all report it is much easier the second time round - its all about working smarter not harder. The experience is unforgettable - definitely worth it (a liiiitle bit on the pricey side), but be warned...if you're a middle aged office worker, be prepared for some deep breathing and the sense of achievement that comes from doing something quite hard (!) Photos were worth the purchase too.

We had an amazing time. Special attention was given to our 10 year old. It was a unique thrilling experience for all of us.

River boarding is certainly one of the most exciting, beautiful, and unique experiences we have ever had. It will ruin regular white water rafting for you in all the best ways.

Great guides who care about your adventure and fun. As fun as it was 17 years ago when we went with them. Neil was a great guide, as was Ben, Pavel and Tess. All really good guides that helped us out and had fun! Well recommend thrill activity!

We had a great time, my teens and me. An exciting time esp since the river was higher than normal. Safety briefings and lessons on how to use the sledge were comprehensive. There were 3 guides for the 4 of us, so plenty of attention. Felt safe at all times :)

Riverboarding is an absolute must do whilst in Queenstown! From the staff in the shop to the instructors in the water, everyone is so friendly and helpful - making the experience unforgettable! Our guides (Pav, Dallas and Ben) were hugely knowledgable and you are supported the entire time, never feeling uncomfortable or worried. Such a fun and unique experience, 100% recommended!

So you think rafting is hardcore? Do it without the raft, then you can really feel the power of that water! It's the sickest trip I've done in town and there isn't much I haven't done! Not strenuous like I had worried it would be but just bags of craic. Yes it's cold, it's a glacial fed river, get over yourself.

Had the best time riverboarding! The instructors were very helpful and fun and the experience was one I’ll never forget! This is definitely a must do in Queenstown, I haven’t seen this anywhere else so I’m really glad I took part. Highly recommended, level 2 was really good fun I could do it again and again and not get bored.

I had the best time river sledging ! This has been on my bucket list of things to do for 5 years, it was worth the wait to go with Serious Fun River Surfing!! From Sophie in the office to our two guides as well as the camera guy! It was all AMAZING! The guides were extremely skilled, strong and helpful both in and out of the water! If you love the water ( being in the water) you won’t be disappointed!! Thank you! Tena

So unique, a step up from rafting if you love being on the water. Dallas, Sam and Sophie were legends! Super chill but amazing at their jobs. They’ll definitely settle any nerves, they’re so confident in the water! Couldn’t recommend it more. If there’s any doubts, opt for the sledges as they have more buoyancy. I did the river surfing and loved it. A real challenge! I’ll be back again, cheers guys! L
