The
Waiatoto River Safari is New Zealand's only sea to mountain eco-jet
adventure, exploring the South West New Zealand World Heritage Area,
aboard a custom built Safari craft.
Experience awe-inspiring,
spectacular scenery – the best New Zealand has to offer; from
rugged, deserted beaches through untouched virgin forest, past water
falls, (weather permitting) to soaring snowy mountains? all in one
incredible journey!
Your journey
will take you up the glacier-fed Waiatoto River as it makes its
way through a remote alpine valley to the Tasman Sea. See why this
landscape has been described as some of the most dramatic mountain
scenery in the world.
Through your
guide, you will see and learn about the work being carried out in
this area to save the endangered Haast Brown Kiwi, New Zealand's
national bird.
Hear about the
fascinating history of this rugged region: from Maori expeditions
to find treasured pounamu, (greenstone or NZ jade) and legends of
bloody tribal battles, through to the pioneering days of sealers
and the hardy European settlers who tried to make their homes in
the wilderness.
Experience the
precise manoeuverability of our custom-built safari craft, designed
and built by Jetboat.com especially for this New Zealand's wild
rivers.
This is the
only way to really experience this “hidden” New Zealand
paradise - there are no roads, no houses, no people ? just you,
your Guide and the incredible natural world that you will discover
on your Waiatoto River Safari.
