Wero Whitewater Park

Wero Whitewater Park is New Zealand's first and only purpose-built artificial whitewater park, offering unforgettable adventures for families, friends, schools, corporate groups, and thrill-seekers. Designed by the team behind several Olympic whitewater venues, the world-class facility delivers an authentic whitewater experience in a safe, controlled environment.
 
Whether you're looking for a fun introduction to rafting or an adrenaline-filled challenge, Wero Whitewater Park has an activity to suit every level. All rafting experiences include a comprehensive safety briefing, professional guides, and all equipment, including helmets, life jackets, and booties.
 

• Tamariki River Rafting is designed especially for 5–13-year-olds, making it the perfect introduction to whitewater rafting. Participants will navigate fun Grade 2 rapids with a qualified guide in every raft, building confidence, teamwork, and paddling skills along the way. Children aged 5-7 must be accompanied by one participating adult per two children.
   
• Flatwater offers a relaxed, self-guided experience on the lake, where you can paddle at your own pace on kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and giant stand-up paddleboards, swapping equipment as often as you like during your session. Children aged 5-7 must be accompanied by one participating adult per two children.
   
• River Rush Rafting is an adrenaline-fuelled Grade 3 whitewater adventure for participants aged 13+, featuring exciting rapids and finishing with the thrilling 4.5-metre Pump Waterfall – the world's highest man-made waterfall for rafting.
   

Whether you’re new to kayaking or an experienced paddler, Wero Whitewater Park has something for every skill level. Build your confidence with a private kayaking lesson, complete a Grade 2 or Grade 3 assessment, or, if you’re already certified, grab a White Water Pass and take on the rapids independently. For something a little different, try inflatable kayaking on the Grade 1–2 Tamariki River – a fun, unguided whitewater adventure with no certification required.
 
Whether you're planning a family day out, a unique team-building activity, or your next adventure, Wero Whitewater Park offers an experience unlike anywhere else in New Zealand.
