Need some adventure? Come and Jet Boat along the mighty Wairaurahiri River. You spend Day 1 on an unguided walking tour to the river and on Day 2 the excitement begins. Travel the full length of the river; 27 kilometres to Lake Hauroko. Guaranteed to get the blood pumping!

Day one starts from Bluecliff’s Beach. This is the point that you will start your unguided walking tour of the area. From there you travel the wild South Coast to Port Craig, taking in the abundance of wildlife and scenery. There are two routes, the beach at low tide (5-6 hours) or the track (6-7 hours). Both are well signposted and maintained by the Department of Conservation. Accommodation in an old schoolhouse is modest but comfortable (20 bunk-beds).

On day two, you will depart from Port Craig and the track follows an old log tramway which is easy going. The Waitutu track follows the wild south coast sweeping through bush and beach. After two hours you arrive at the magnificent Percy Burn viaduct, providing an absolutely breathtaking view.

The track continues to the Wairaurahiri River. This day trip is easy going and takes 4-5 hours to where the jet boat leaves for the trip of a lifetime. One and a half hrs of solid thrills, grade three white water rapids and rocks. The scenery is magnificent. You will travel the full length of the river - 27 kilometres to Lake Hauroko. At the jetty your transport will be waiting to take you back to Tuatapere or to your vehicle at Bluecliff’s Beach.

On day one, please allow 5-7 hours for freedom walking. N.B. Tide charts need to be read prior to choosing the beach walk. On day two, please allow 4-5 hours of leisure walking. The jet boat journey takes approximately 1.5 hours.
