The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co.

The Legendary Black Water Rafting Company is a classic New Zealand success story. Celebrate this world-first achievement and become part of the legend.

What began as a special treat for a brave few has developed into a spectacular tourism attraction that gives visitors of all ages the chance to abseil, weave, jump, and float through a glowworm-studded subterranean wonderland.

With two exhilarating tours, namely Black Labyrinth and Black Abyss, to choose from, there is something to suit all adventurous spirits. The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co. is New Zealand's first and still the best black water adventure operator. And it's also the only tour that takes you through the incomparable Ruakuri Cave.

Cave tubing involves the use of an inflated rubber inner tube, the kind you would normally find in a car or truck tyre, as a flotation device to take you down river. Each Black Water Rafting expedition includes 8-12 people and two expert guides.

Our friendly, knowledgeable local guides have helped The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co. achieve an excellent safety record over many years. They can help you step outside yourself and leave with a huge sense of accomplishment.
