About
Description
FROGZ HAVE MORE FUN!
In the late 70's some keen Frenchmen were lying on bags full of lifejackets and polystyrene and floating downstream through river rapids high up in the Alps. In 1981 the first sledge or "hydrospeed" was built and since it's become a recognized sport with competitions organized every year.
River purpose-designed and built right here in New Zealand, the sledge is the best way to get up close and personal with the awesome white water in the Southern Lakes region.
No experience necessary
Frogz White Water Sledging operates daily trips from Wanaka. Experienced guides will teach you how to use your sledge and read the river but ultimately YOU ARE IN CONTROL.
With over 14 years in the business of White Water Sledging we offer 2 awesome trips on the mighty Kawarau River which provides New Zealand's largest commercially run White Water and leave you a fully qualified frog with a big grin.
K2 - 'ROARING MEG'
Kawarau River Half Day Grade 3+ rapids
6km of some of NZ's best high volume white water and definitely our most popular trip. The Roaring Meg has something for everybody with big fast flowing rapids, standing waves, boils, whirlpools and finishes with a peaceful flat section to get your breath back and take in the fantastic scenery of the historic Kawarau River.

We head back to the top and have another run for a total of 10km leaving you a fully qualified Frog with a big grin.
