Family adventures was a great experience for our four boys (aged 15, 12, 10 and 6) and us. The ride into the canyons was awesome as was the rafting. Simon, Mark and Holly were great hosts.

Great fun for our kids who were ages 4, 6, 8. Guides were entertaining and great with kids, relaxed yet a professional team. Amazing scenery and history. Would recommend for family with young kids. Good length activity for the money compared to most of Queenstowns activities
