More than the river
We're best known for multi-day river journeys — but the trucks, trailers, rafts and local knowledge get used for a lot more than that.
Twenty-odd years of running logistics in this valley means we know the tracks, the river access points, the farm gates and the people who own them. If you're trying to get yourself, your bikes, your rods or your rafts somewhere in this country, there's a good chance we can sort it.

Heading down the river on your own?
The Waiau Toa is remote, there's no mobile coverage through the middle, and access points are limited. Talk to us before you go — we'll give you a straight answer on flows, hazards and whether the trip you're planning suits the party you've got.
