Got any questions?
Read these frequently asked ones - if you're still not sure, email us
 |
What to bring? A swim suit and towel. |
|
Can I wear spectacles? Well people have but you need wipers... Contact lenses are fine. |
|
Do I need to be able to swim? We have had a number of non-swimmers and they've had a great time. However, I would not reccommend high flow trips to non-swimmers, lower flows are more common from Jan to Mar. On any trip you'll be going under water a lot [at the bottom of jumps etc..] but a full wetsuit makes you very floaty. |
|
Will I be scared? Quite possibly. If you're worried about things talk to us before you come. We enjoy taking people who are prepared to push themselves. Remember, the more you put in, the more you get out. Attitude is all.. |
|
Will I be bored? uh uh - no-one gets bored... |
|
I'm a vegetarian? Our lunches contain no animals. Let us know if you have specific requirements. |
|
Is it cold? It can be, especially at the start and conclusion of the season. On chilly days we pull out our range of 'accessories' - hoods, gloves etc all in tasteful rubber. |
|
Am I too old? Probably not, attitude is all. Current age record is 76 years. |
|
When can I go? We start running trips in early Nov and run every day except Christmas Day (25th Dec) and New Years Day (1st Jan). We continue until early April each summer season. | |
Am I too young? We have taken children as young as 11 years in Niger Stream, this is dependent on conditions, the childs' experience and support. We suggest Jan - Feb. Contact us directly for specific information. Min age for Niger Stream is 12 yrs, Big Nige 14 yrs, Wai Rata and the Leaping Burn 16 yrs. |
|
What footwear? We supply all footwear. |
