According to NewZealand.com:

“Queenstown Rafting, New Zealand’s largest rafting operator, runs trips on two local rivers, the Shotover and the Kawarau. Ideal for first time rafters, the Kawarau is a large volume, lake fed river with four exciting rapids, including the 400m Dog Leg.

The Shotover River is renowned for its exciting rapids and the spectacular journey into Skippers Canyon. Two hours on the river culminates in the 170m Oxenbridge Tunnel. Combinations available include jet boats, helicopter, rafting and bungy jumping.”

This is a must do trip for just about anybody visiting this part of the world.
