Queenstown & River Surfing

In Queenstown, there are many options for adventure activities. We were torn, but finally decided on river surfing. Basically, you put on a wet suit, helmet, and flippers with a boogie board and head into white water rapids. It is kind of like white water rafting, but you are actually in the rapids instead of just floating on top.

Our guides were pretty cool, and very good swimmers. I thought that I was a good swimmer, but the rough waters toss you around quite a bit. Fortunately, our guides kept an eye out for us and saved the day whenever necessary.

The trip was particularly cool, because we got to go twice - just over 6 miles of rapids! We even got to jump off of a small ledge into the river.
