Families love rafting the Scenic section of the Rangitikei River, downstream from River Valley Lodge. With over 30 easy rapids and a side hike to a spectacular waterfall (weather dependent), this section of the river is safe, scenic, interesting and fun!

Join the Orion on an expedition voyage from Invercargill, New Zealand, via Milford Sound, Steward Island, Snares Island, Auckland and Campbell Islands to Hobart, Tasmania.

River Valley is a New Zealand adventure lodge situated "away from it all" next to the breathtaking Rangitikei River on New Zealand's north island. A nice place to relax but also to take part in some of the great adventure activities the lodge offers.

In early summer the roadside views abound with apple, pear and cherry blossom. The backdrop of coastal ranges, Bruny Island and the scudding sails in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Huon Estuary provides for a memorable trip.

Join the Orion on an expedition voyage with a culinary flair from Hobart, Tasmania to Launceston and on to Sydney, Australia. Orion's luxurious appointments means she is more mega-yacht than cruise ship and her guests are few; around just 50 couples.
