The Wairaurahiri River

New Zealand's longest waterfall

Lake Hauroko — the deepest lake in New Zealand — is drained by the Wairaurahiri River, which falls 180 metres to sea level over 27 kilometres of grade 3 white water rapids.

The river flows through virgin beech forest more than a million years old, deep in the remote southern wilderness of Fiordland National Park.

“The jet boat down the river an absolute buzz – very pleased to be in a purpose built boat with someone who knew it so well. The lodge amazing – a total surprise and delight. All in all an absolutely neat trip.”
Richard Rayward, CEO – Air Safaris
“It was fantastic to be able to visit this natural unspoilt area of New Zealand. It needs to be seen to be appreciated. The whole day was a wonderful experience starting with the jet boat ride across the lake, to going down such a fast and free flowing river.”
Merv Lloyd
