Profile
Mohaka Rafting offers school programmes designed to take students into the wilderness and teach them valuable outdoor skills in a guided, educational setting. Their school offerings include water rafting, kayaking, tramping, and multi-day expeditions.
These programmes emphasize life skills beyond just adventure. Students learn about river crossings, water safety, hazard avoidance, and basic survival techniques—all part of developing confidence and resilience in outdoor environments.
Rafting is a core activity. The classic day water rafting trips down the Mohaka River are adapted for school groups with an educational focus. Instructors teach about river hazards, safe navigation skills, geology, flora and fauna, and local history alongside the rafting experience.
Kayaking is another option within their school programmes. Mohaka Rafting runs kayaking sessions in locations along the Mohaka River where currents are manageable and shorelines safe. They also provide introductory kayak lessons when conditions allow.
For schools wanting more immersive experiences, multi-day expeditions are available. These combine rafting, tramping, and land-based learning. The provider works with schools to design custom programmes suited to their goals—whether a mix of river travel, bushcraft, navigation, or expedition challenges.
Tramping is also part of the offer. Programmes can range from short walks to several days of hiking through native bush, with educational components such as map reading, orienteering, and emergency planning.
Mohaka Rafting offers discounted rates for school groups to promote educational outdoor experiences. They invite schools to get in touch to tailor a programme that fits group needs.
For schools seeking an outdoor education provider with strong experiential learning, wilderness skills, and water-based adventure, Mohaka Rafting offers flexible, rich, and safe programmes suited to a range of student levels.
