River bugging is one of the latest white water activities to come out of New Zealand, with the River Bugs being best described as a cross between a white water raft and an armchair. River Bugs are a single person craft, made up of inflatable chambers behind and beside the user (known as a "bugger" - probably some Antipodean innuendo). These chambers ensure that you stay on top of the water, while extra thick padding turns colliding with rocks into a low-impact dodgems ride. After learning a few basic skills, you will be able to run the rapids, catch eddies, surf standing waves and pirouette like a Russian ballerina.

You will be fully equipped with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet, booties, fins and special webbed gloves (These are your paddles and help you with steering).
