New "sports" are constantly being invented and we decided to try an activity called river boarding. This exciting adventure is a boogie board version of white water rafting. We went down the turquoise colored waters through the steep canyons of the Kawerau river. Going down the rapids on a board really brings you face to face with the crashing white water. The challenge of the day was to catch and ride the standing wave in the middle of one of the rapids.
Between the fast rapids we were able to float along and enjoy the scenery, including bungy jumpers from a bridge above us and actual settings from the Lord of the Rings movie.
A definite must-do when visiting Queenstown!
